"Face The Nation" Panel With Newtown Families: "We're Not Going Away"
Family members of Newtown victims Neil Heslin, Carlee Soto and Erica Lafferty say they won't give up on gun control despite the Senate's vote last week.
Carlee Soto: We're not going away. We're going to keep fighting for our loved ones and everyone else who has died from gun violence. You know, we knew going into it that we weren't going to get the 60 votes, but we also knew that this is just the beginning, this is the first step and we're going to keep fighting.

Bob Schieffer: How do you get something done here? You say you're not going away. What specifically can you do?
Erica Lafferty: I know we have a great team of senators that are not giving up on this, they are going to work to try to find some type of new compromise to maybe, I know there was question about the rural part of the Toomey-Manchin legislation that they are going to try to work on. So I'm really going to be here to do anything that they need me to do, get the word out, talk to anyone that will listen. People are going to get sick of seeing my face because I'm not giving up on this, I'm not giving up on my mom.
