Chuck Grassley actually said...

What happened at Newtown shocks our Nation. We will never forget where we were or how we reacted.

We all want to examine sensible actions that could reduce the likelihood of future crimes.

Clearly, violent crimes and those who commit them are a plague on our society, one that has been with us for far too long.

As a grandfather and great-grandfather, I cannot imagine how anyone would commit an evil act like that.
