My career in Congress is a story of before Sandy Hook and after Sandy Hook.

What is happening in Iraq now is awful, but it is a consequence of our invasion, not our withdrawal.

You have to think not about what you mean but about what people hear.

I will consider my time in the Senate a failure if we don't pass some meaningful legislation to reduce the likelihood that Sandy Hook ever happens again.

I wake up ready to right and I feel like I'm on the right side of history every day.

There's no more personal issue than gun violence; every one of these stories is a life lost, i'm hoping that over the long term, as I tell these stories, that it will help to open people's eyes.

Living in stressful situations there are chemicals in your brain that are released that essentially degrade the neuron connections that allow you to function as a normal human being.
