Quotes 

• President Fitzgerald Grant : The right to bear arms, set in stone in the Constitution by our founding fathers. So was slavery, by the way. The right to bear arms seems indisputable, until the shooter comes, until you're Lisa Elliot, covered in blood, watching a little girl take her last breath, watching the light go out of her eyes. And that, that is where the argument ends. That is when the debate is over.

• President Fitzgerald Grant : [beginning his State of the Union address]  We honor the lives we've lost in service to this great nation. But not every death is a sacrifice. Not every death has meaning. Just ask Lisa Elliot, who scooped up a first grader named Joelle Brandt, and carried her to safety, only to watch her die from one of the 102 rounds unloaded at red hawk elementary.
