I saw a video on CNN.com earlier that edited this man's words in an incredible way to distort what he was saying. . . it made him imply that new laws should be considered after the current ones are enforced. That is not what he was saying.
Look at this article:
"'Hunger Games' has America kids hooked on archery"

. . . but wait, I thought media and movies didn't impact what kids do in real life?!?!

Re: Father of Sandy Hook victim speaks against gun control
This is where hopefully the 2A community will differentiate ourselves from the MSM and the gun grabbers.
I'd love for this man to be a spokesman ala Suzanna Hupp - fighting against the irrational rush to enact new laws. But then again, if he doesn't want to become the face of a movement, I hope we never see or hear of him again beyond his testimony today. I wish him nothing but peace and anonymity if that's what he desires.
Hopefully none on our side will attempt to recruit him against his will. . . unlike the methods used by those who oppose our rights. . . the ones who immediately began using victims and families to advance an agenda that the families and victims may not even support.

Father of Sandy Hook victim speaks against gun control
Mark Mattioli, father of James Mattioli, at a conference on gun violence in Hartford, CT.
Video of testimony:

And SHAME on ANYBODY who would declare that they speak for all of the victims. . . putting words in this man's mouth and trying to politically capitalize on the death of his son.
Here's an article including his testimony with a misleading headline (it misrepresents his presence, wishes, and voice):

Mark Mattioli wrote:We do not need complex laws. I am a big proponent of individual accountability and enforcement.
May God bless this man and his family. . . along with all of the victims' families.Mark Mattioli wrote:Is one more law?. . .I don't care if you named it James' law - I don't want it. I think we have more than enough [laws] on the books. We should hold people individually accountable for their actions and we should enforce laws appropriately.
