sporaticly, our eyes are open. when eight of our brothers and sisters are cut down in a church basement. 12 in a movie theater. but i hope we all see the 30 precious lives cut short by gun violence in this country every single day. the countless more whose lives are forever changed. the survivors crippled. the children traumatized and fearful every day as they walk to school. the husband who will never feel his wife's warm touch. the entire communities whose grief overflows every time they have to watch what happened to them happen to some other place. the vast majority of americans, the majority of gun owners want to do something about this. we see that now. [applause] [crowd cheering] >> and i'm convinced that by acknowledging the pain and loss of others even as we respect we don't everybody grace. we're all sinners and we don't deserve it. but god gives it to us anyway. and we choose how to receive it. it's our decision how to honor it. none of us can or should expect a transformation in race relations overnight
