Think hard and look back. It wasn't that long ago. Even the Huffington Post disagrees with you. The catalyst that sent gun owners to the stores is the debate over gun control following the shootings. Remember Diane Feinstein's comment, "Mr. and Mrs. America--turn in your guns." People are stocking up before regulations go into place in the event the regulations are not favorable to gun owners. Even Democrats in Congress are not looking to pass harsh restrictions. The majority of the country are okay with tighter restrictions. But disingenuous comments are not going to solve the issue.
If you are so concerned about the 'precious children' your response would not be to go and buy more guns, since guns are part of the problem.

Wrong, none of us law abiding shot those kids. We might start shooting people who kick our doors in to steal and take our weapons though.

We won't rest until all you grabbers mind your own business and start following the Constitution Of The United States. It's a hard task for Socialist Commie Democrats. Pro-gun Democrats should be ashamed. Even they don't trust all of you.

Nancy Lanza was a law-abiding citizen. Someone being a law-abiding citizen and being a lunatic enough to own three guns including an assault weapon doesn't mean that someone in her household, like her son, will not get his hands on those guns. There is indeed a connection between law-abiding citizens and many mass shootings.

Ooh, big whoop, she owned like five weapons...a whole five? She was a newb and beginner at best. Nancy didn't allow access to her firearms that day. That's why he killed his own mother to get them...DUH!

The same could be said when a couple goes out of town and their son finds their keys to their toy parked in the garage.

Well, of course - because the right wing string-pullers incite paranoia in people like you...and you dance around like a marionette, just the way they want to. They are making a lot of money off of people like you.

But you don't want to recognize that the US has more guns than ever. And gun deaths, as are all homicides, dropping to new lows since 1991.
