Patch wants to know what Parsippany residents feel about the contentious issue surrounding public safety and Second Amendment rights.
President Barack Obama launched a major national gun-control effort Wednesday, instituting a number of executive orders and a call for the U.S. Congress to approve an assault weapons ban, the prohibition of magazines that hold more than 10 bullets and background checks for all gun buyers. The president also agreed with the National Rifle Association's call for increasing the number of armed guards in schools. The move comes as a reaction to prevent mass shootings like the recent school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which an allegedly mentally ill man killed 20 first graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Of course, there is opposition to the president's ideas. The NRA said that as the nation considers how to protect …

Families, friends of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School usher team onto field.
NORTH JERSEY — More than 200 students from Sandy Hook Elementary School were among 400 people from Newtown, Conn., who formed a tunnel for New York Giants players to run through as they took the field Sunday for their final home game of the 2012 season.

The group of Newtown residents received high-fives and handshakes from the athletes as they entered the field. The students and their families then made a ring around the field, holding hands with Giants and Philadelphia …
