But as mayors, we're also very much on the front lines dealing with some of the repercussions when we don't see action at other levels of government. And While there has been, at least in the case of Minnesota, some progress made, we need more not just in this state but nationwide. We need to recognize that we love our children more than we love our guns. We need to recognize as a country that when something like this happens, we've got the courage and the conviction that to act. (04:08–04:17)
