Rep. Raul Grijalva said the nation has reached the “point of no return” on the necessity of stricter gun control laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. shooting.

In an interview with MSNBC, Grijalva, who is a grandfather, said a discussion on gun control could prevent more tragedies. He also said the conversation shouldn’t be about the right to bear arms, but what type of guns should be allowed and how easy it is to get them.

We want to hear from you.
