Aurora shooting survivor Stephen Barton, an advocate for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and Protest Easy Guns founder Abby Spangler talk to “Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer about the shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Both Barton and Spangler agree that there are simple measures the government could implement that would make the public safer when it comes to guns, including requiring background checks on all gun purchases. ”The NRA leadership may not be ready for this discussion, but the American public certainly is,” Barton says.
