Police in Wisconsin have identified the suspected gunman in the Sikh
temple shooting as Army veteran Wade Michael Page. According to the
Associated Press, Page enlisted in April 1992 and was given a
less-than-honorable discharge in October 1998. The Wisconsin shooting
came just more than two weeks after 12 people were killed and 58 wounded
at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. We discuss the state of U.S.
gun control with Colin Goddard, a survivor of the the 2007 Virginia Tech
massacre and now a campaigner with Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun
Violence; and with John Nichols of The Nation magazine, who is based in
Wisconsin. "We cannot continue to keep having the same conversation over
and over again after these shootings, where we just express our
sympathy and look around at each other like, 'How could this happen?'
and leave it at that," Goddard says. "It is beyond time to address this
issue and Americans are beginning to realize that.”Video
