Neil Heslin, Father Of Newtown Victim, Heckled By Pro-Gun Activists(VIDEO, PHOTOS)
screams the Huffington Post
Neil Heslin, the father of a 6-year-old boy who was slain in the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, stoically faced down pro-gun activists last night.
More than 1,000 people attended a hearing before the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Monday to share their views on gun control, USA Today reported. Among them was Heslin, who held a large framed picture of himself and his son Jesse as he urged officials to consider strengthening gun laws in Connecticut.
But as he gave his emotional testimony, pleading with lawmakers to improve mental health options and to ban assault weapons like the one Adam Lanza used to murder his child and 25 other people, his speech was interrupted by dozens of audience members, The Connecticut Post reported.
I still cant see why any civilian, anybody in this room in fact, needs weapons of that sort. Youre not going to use them for hunting, even for home protection, Heslin said.
Pro-gun activists responded by calling out: Second Amendment!
Theres just one problem. It didnt happen
He wasnt heckled. He asked the question and demanded an answer. There was complete silence. And only then, when he said that not one person could answer it rather than remaining quiet out of respect for his feelings did a few people answer it. You might not like their answer if you dont like the Second Amendment, but that answer wasnt unprompted. They were not heckling him.
