I thought of you when this segment was on & I couldn’t hold back the emotions. My daughter is 14 now, Fred, & I couldn’t fathom losing her the way you had Jamie taken from you. I’ll keep fighting the fight & hope MLK was right:
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

Even though I am a gun owner and the only people in my house are my husband and I. I totally understand why people would not like any gun owners in America. For me, I know my life would be dead after losing my sweet baby just something like this.

bluestreetbrand.bsky.social•143 days ago

There are so many out here that hurt for you and all those parents, one of the reasons we will not stop fighting for sensible gun legislation and that we donate part of our proceeds only to Sandy Hook Promise. https://BlueStreetbrand.com

maryplanahead.bsky.social•143 days ago

Heartbreaking Fred. I still cannot believe there are so many people who value the lives of children so little. Sending you and your family much love.💔

danapike25.bsky.social•143 days ago

That was beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.

jetsgirl.bsky.social•143 days ago

This was heartbreaking and thought provoking. The grief you deal with every day is unimaginable. I wish you peace.

cjseahorsemom.bsky.social•142 days ago

Hugs to you Fred. I will watch.

fredguttenberg.bsky.social•143 days ago

(2,4) imagine our lives now and how we feel. I remember making the decision to sell our house that Jaime grew up in and knowing that it would be the last time that I ever walk into or out of a bedroom that belonged to Jaime. The nonstop efforts to bring you into my life, to help you imagine,

fredguttenberg.bsky.social•143 days ago

(3,4) took a toll on me and my family. Now, I just hope you watch this. It will help you understand why I was so committed to the outcome of this election and why I am disgusted at the outcome of it now. It will help you to understand why

fredguttenberg.bsky.social•143 days ago

(4,4) I am struggling to forgive so many who voted against the work that I spent the past almost 7 years doing and that will now be undone. I hope that you never experience an empty bedroom like this.

ejwb24.bsky.social•143 days ago

I’ve followed you on X for several years and am empowered by your gun safety / reform work. I believe your pain and anguish and unrelenting work has had a major influence. You are our experience and hope as we resist this nightmare in history.

imatter24.bsky.social•143 days ago

Fred, I'm so sorry, I lost my son ,he was hit by a car walking home. The pain never leaves as we trudge thru life missing your child.

deborah60.bsky.social•143 days ago

You’re a beacon of light for us. One of the first I searched for to follow. Keep doing the work

daydream25.bsky.social•143 days ago

carebear1.bsky.social•143 days ago

I’m so very sorry. Please know there are millions who support you and your efforts.

bbrebooted.bsky.social•142 days ago

I hope this segment reaches the hearts of people who might not be fully absorbed into the cult but still have them. That we still tolerate the sheer number of these empty bedrooms is just sick and twisted. Please start doing self-care for yourself and your family now. And thank you for everything.

beachieblonde.bsky.social•143 days ago

I also experienced an empty bedroom. My beautiful just turned 17 year old murdered. His name is Tyrell Arthur Nolen. Now, my heart is the one empty.

thisisme7.bsky.social•142 days ago

I cried my eyes out, I’m so sorry for you all.🟧💔

Im so so sorry Mr Guttenberg 😞💖

annedf.bsky.social•143 days ago

Thank you for sharing this with us. Many of us voted to stop him. I'm terribly sorry about this outcome and cannot imagine how you feel.

sullyborden.bsky.social•142 days ago

So achingly sad, it hurt to watch it. I cry for the children whose dreams will never take hold, and for the parents who must endure. And I feel profound despair and outrage that we have the power, but not the will, to stop gun violence against children. The work goes on. With you, Fred.

Oh, Mr. Guttenberg, I am so sorry. I watched. It's heartbreaking. I really have no words, but bless you.

carrie22.bsky.social•143 days ago

I'm so sorry for your heartbreaking journey! Idk what I would do. I've seen this before, but watched it again. Had a friend lose a child at Sandy Hook and it was & is the most gut wrenching heartache I've ever seen...Keep fighting the good fight!

hanginon.bsky.social•143 days ago

I watched. It was heartbreaking.

mommat-4b.bsky.social•143 days ago

All of these pictures will stick with me. I've lost a 45 yr old to cancer, but an innocent child just starts out in life. This is so heartbreaking to me. I know what they mean by feeling their presence in the room and the struggle to walk into the room. This sadness will never go away. ~j~

pebbes.bsky.social•141 days ago

All my likes and loves! I’m a high school teacher who thinks of the day it happens to us…everyday. And I’m also a dad of 2 young girls and I pray it never happens to them. And then the election, and my girls are all I think about. You are an inspiration and we need your light and your fire.

liorsh51.bsky.social•142 days ago

I only send a monthly contribution to one organization and it’s Sandy Hook Promise. I pray that someday our efforts will put an end to gun violence.

gentlemindgma.bsky.social•143 days ago

Hugs my friend. It was hard to watch for anyone with a heart. We have to keep fighting.. I know I'm tired, you must be exhausted. But we keep on keepin' on.

ck1956.bsky.social•143 days ago

I watched this yesterday morning, heart wrenching for these families. Literally crying at my kitchen table.

capecoddebby.bsky.social•143 days ago

@fredguttenberg.bsky.social as I watched this yesterday morning i thought if you in particular and of course Jaime. May her memory always be for a blessing. 🧡

steamrob42.bsky.social•143 days ago

We watched it yesterday morning and we were heart broken, my wife especially so. While she did not lose her children to violence, she knows the sharp pain of out living them (natural causes).

aarongould.bsky.social•142 days ago

This reminds me of the devastating scene in David Lindsey-Abaire’s play, “Rabbit Hole” in which a grieving mother and grandmother pack up their deceased son’s room. That scene includes a speech with maybe the best description of grief I have ever read.

ceeaye44.bsky.social•143 days ago

As a parent, my worst fear is something happening to my child. I’m not sure how you have continue on day after day, but please know that at least half the country believes in your work and we’d take your burden from you if it was possible. Keep going!

3dawglady.bsky.social•143 days ago

This touched my Heart more than you know. In 08/2020, it took my other 2 children and friends to pack up my daughters home and put it in storage after she was murdered. I paid for her storage unit for 2 yrs, until I could muster up enough courage to go through all her belongings. You are a beacon!

snoozy.bsky.social•143 days ago

💔 This is one of my worst fears as a parent. Thank you for your work over the past 6+ years. It’s hard to feel in community with people who don’t care if it gets torn down. Sending you strength and healing.

Thought of your family continually.
How did we get here? 💔

tintin7t.bsky.social•143 days ago

kimmad.bsky.social•142 days ago

My heart. How can you not watch that and sob? Why do we keep doing this in this country? 💔

thisit.bsky.social•143 days ago

Fred, I think about you all the time as well as all of the parents who have lost their children to gun violence. I'm very sorry our gov is inept and refuses to address the gun violence with a permanent ban. I appreciate the parents who shared their children's untouched bedrooms.

wolfiesmarbaby.bsky.social•143 days ago

I did watch. My heart bleeds for u n all the families suffering. But I fear if nothing happened after Sandy Hook, all is lost.

okiefrmuskogee.bsky.social•142 days ago

I watched - powerful and incredibly painful. I will continue to stand with you. 🧡

mimifromaz2.bsky.social•143 days ago

I did watch it yesterday and cried through the entire clip, my heart breaks because we still can’t get common sense gun laws passed

amsvarra.bsky.social•143 days ago

I do not have adequate words to express how deeply sorry I am that you have to live your life without Jaime.

lindsayastor.bsky.social•143 days ago

So hard to watch but so critical for us to even begin to understand the slightest bit of the magnitude of just how horrific this truly is for all of the families affected by GV. 🧡🧡🧡

tlmack.bsky.social•143 days ago

I am so sorry for everything you and your family have gone through since that horrible day. I am angry at the outcome of this election but cannot begin to understand the intensity of your anger with everything you’ve done all these years to get better gun regulations. And now…I am so sorry.

minorkey68.bsky.social•143 days ago

This is powerful

domifrancon.bsky.social•143 days ago

Heartbreaking

decor8.bsky.social•143 days ago

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry this happened to you and your family. To lose a child at any age is terrifying to me, and in most cases, these are preventable tragedies. Repubs protect fetuses rather than children. Guns everywhere, no healthcare or education funding. Keep up the fight.☮️

dkpinpg.bsky.social•143 days ago

It was a hard and heartfelt honest report that needs to be seen for better understanding of what the parents of children lost to school gun violence are still going through… the bedrooms being their only way to feel connected.

maeday1.bsky.social•143 days ago

I did watch this piece. Very emotional. Brought tears to my eyes. I don't see how that would NOT happen to anyone who has a child. It was heartbreaking to watch.

ellenj49.bsky.social•143 days ago

I lost my 21-year-old daughter in 1995 suddenly. Engaged in getting ready to graduate from MSU. She died of an unknown heart defect. Not as tragic as others but still tragic. Her room is still intact. I have her wedding dress still. 30 years and still so painful.

tracynj.bsky.social•141 days ago

It was heartbreaking to watch 💔. Thank you for all you’ve done.

love2sail.bsky.social•143 days ago

There are no words sufficient to express the appreciation I have for you and your family’s sacrifices and efforts to make us all see the reality of gun violence and why prevention is essential to our future.
