The court largely rejected a sweeping constitutional challenge brought by gun rights groups.
"Silence in the face of this rash of mass shootings has become complicity."
Conspiracy theories surrounding the Newtown shooting have reached a new level with a video on YouTube. However experts have debunked the video's claims as false. We are joined by Meredith Bennett-Smith, Dianne Bystrom, Ilana Alazzeh and Tim Reynolds.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
We know what six looks like. We know how it feels. How big it's getting. How fast it outgrows its clothes and how it's no longer a baby, but not quite yet a big kid.
More than a dozen children went to elementary school this morning and were dead before lunch. White House spokesman Jay Carney says today is not the day to talk about gun control. I disagree. That's all we should talk about today. We are heartbroken, yes. But saying that will fix nothing. It won't bring anyone back, and it won't keep this from happening again. And of course we know the parents of Newtown could have been any one of us. That's important to remember, but it isn't enough, because the knowing doesn't change the fact that we could still be next. So we can't just do as we did after Columbine, after Virginia Tech, after Aurora. We can't just grieve and hold our children close. We have to demand that our country earn the right to call itself a civilized nation.
