Grossman was one of the first historians who called attention to the fact that corporations have become persons under the 14th amendment.He said: "If we are going to have pretense to a democracy, we cannot give political rights and powers to a private entity. We cannot let that private entity get so strong that it rewrites the laws, that it shapes the culture, that it shapes the education. It may be difficult to imagine a country that's not dominated by giant corporations, but other people before us have imagined that ... (and) left us many important mechanisms that we can use."

Jared Lee Loughner was a 23-year-old who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was able to obtain a small arsenal and ammunition thanks to Arizonaâs gun laws.
Many of the survivors of the shooting have lobbied for gun legislation in Washington in hopes of preventing similar shootings. According to news reports, Loughner had admitted to military recruiters in 2008 that he had used drugs but was still able to buy a gun legally.
Patricia Maisch who helped to rescue victims of the shooting, urged members of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee to pass the Fix Gun Checks Act of 2011 to help prevent another attack like the one near Tucson. Maisch and others said the current system needs to be fixed.
"The shooting in Tucson brought Americans together," she said. "Please honor that unity by putting politics aside and working together to fix our broken background-check system."
Following are some of the voices of the survivors describing the shooting:
