Who said anything about removing guns? No one said it, and even if someone had said that, no one can remove guns unless GOP Congress says so.

Perhaps.......however, when it comes to highly intelligent but mentally unstable people, I think you might be surprised.

And, it is no more crazy than thinking new gun laws will stop tragic events like this from happening.

It is clear. This has finally been the tipping point.

What I find the most amusing here is the very same people who VOTED for a known and proven gun grabber, Mitt Romney, all of a sudden pretend to give a crap about gun rights LOL !! How can you take them seriously?

Your post in contemptible. Those with any sense of shame and decency will not have to ask why.

"we're" coming for the guns eh? So when are YOU going to be knocking on doors, or are you going to expect someone else to do your dirty work for you? Somehow I doubt you have the guts to be first through the door.

Even most democrat politicians know the American people don't want more gun control, that's why they avoid the topic like the plague whenever there is an election, and getting re-elected is their first priority.

I'm a lot closer to understanding the root cause of the problems with historical mass murderers like Lanza than you are evidently.

Read up. Come back with some of the root causes and people might engage you in a real discussion. There aren't any prizes for winning an internet discussion.
