A Sandy Hook dad who did NOT have a 6-year old child murdered.

Get back to us when you find a Youtube video of a grieving parent of a little kid who was slaughtered at Sandy Hook saying, "From my cold dead hands." Because the 20 kids shot to death at Sandy Hook DO have cold, dead hands.

The father in the video gets to tuck his kids into bed every night. Twenty sets of parents no longer have that blessing. Let's not forget that in your rush to say, "Look. A Sandy Hook parent who is pro-gun."

Because not all are.

Do you think of the cold, dead hands of 20 six-year old's? Where's their rights? Where's the rights of their parents to tuck them into bed every night?

He had a child in the school, his opinion on the matter should carry a lot more weight than yours.

Uh they were taken away by a criminal who killed himself.

However you cannot take away rights to make someone else feel safe (after the fact). Living in a free society comes with a certain amount of danger. Freedom to own weapons, freedom of movement, etc.

We already let the powers that be restrict freedoms after 9/11 with warrentless wiretaps, suspension of habeas corpus, the ability of the government to kill citizens it suspects of treason without trial, nearly unlimited powers granted to the TSA to stop freedom of movement...and now we want to make our nation even safer by restricting even more freedoms.

NO. This ends here, NO

No, his child was at Reed Intermediate School - a 3 mile drive away. Despite the right praising him as a straight talking "Sandy Hook dad" he blames the mistake on "the Liberal media who don't let facts get in the way".

Bill Stevens-Sandy Hook Father: Viral video of gun-rights defender isn't actually of a father of a Sandy Hook student.

Why to the lefty gun grabbers assume that all the parents that lose children via guns are anti guns?

Newsflash, people who lose anyone by gun violence can still be rational unlike you!

Yes, that's a bad assumption you assign to "lefty gun grabbers" especially considering many kids are shot or killed by a gun in the house (accident, homicide, or suicide).

Why assume? If you assume this, then you are wrong. I know people who have been victims of gun violence and are very pro gun.

Not gonna find one. They have more important things to do, like grieve, and hold their remaning children close and tell them how much they love them.

The coward Adam Lanza took their rights away, then killed himself because he was a coward and unstable.

Please don't sit there and pretend this would have been less tragic if Adam had used a Uhaul truck with explosives onboard like Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma when he killed 168 people 19 of which were children under the age of 6 years old, or the terriorists who used Boeing 757's to murder nearly 3,000 people on 9/11.

We should all hope that terrorists like Adam continue to use firearms to wield their terror, because if they resort to suicide bombs, they will take many more lives and nobody will have a chance to react.
