Ever since the horrific shootings in Connecticut, we have heard the usual leftist fanatics demand gun bans, assault weapon bans, huge taxes on guns, on ammo, more background checks for purchasers, shutting down gun shows, all the usual schemes.

Not one of them, of course, would have stopped any of the recent mass shootings.

People with mass murder in mind, have no problem getting guns and ammo, planning out their crimes, and executing them. And they even (gasp) violate laws to do it. Only law-abiding citizens (the ones who never shoot people) obey those laws. The mass murderers are unaffected.


It is becoming increasingly clear, that stopping the mass shootings is NOT what the gun-control crowd wants.


You have to wonder what they DO want... and why.

Why do these people try so hard to restrict law-abiding people, when it's the lawbreakers who keep killing us? What is the gun-control crowd's real purpose?

This is a LOCAL story and should not be treated any differently than if the psycho jumped on a school bus and drove it over a cliff. The only reason it is now a political issue is because guns are involved.

Gun rights fanatics continue to believe that if you arm everyone no matter what age, it would be a perfect world and no one would be killed. See how this works.

We want the appropriate people armed. That includes a designated member of the school faculty.

When seconds count, the police are still minutes away.

No-

The ESSENTIALLY ALL gun owners are very responsible. An isolated instance in which someone mentally ill used a weapon should not be applied to all gun owners. That argument is simply absurd and is an attempt by the left to capitalize upon a tradegy, in which a firearm was incidental, in order to advance thier political agenda.

What it will do is lower the probability of a high body count. That's all.

He wasn't the owner. The 'responsible' gun owner in this case was the 'prepper' mom who allowed her mentally ill son access to her guns.

Responsible, my ass.

At least they spell it out what they want to reduce, if not eliminate these kinds of mass shootings. The question is, why don't people like you? All I see is endless and mindless supply of excuses that will make you forget what we lost, and instead deflect from the driving issues that brought about it.
