Obviously little Adam Lanza did not measure up in terms of armnaments for all the gun toters in the house. I especially appreciated the perspective of the many experts here who denigrated Adam for his rather low death toll, given his somewhat limited equipment, at least compared to our esteemed denizens here. Oh well, perhaps the next mass murderer will take your teachings to their fullest extent...

Apparently they were expecting a bus load of home invaders.

I am sure that all the libs are happy about "freeing" all the institutionalized mentally ill in the 1960s and allowing "mainstreaming". Just another liberal "plan" that went terribly wrong. And just like a liberal, they attack a symptom, rather than the disease itself.

I thought Ronald Reagan was a conservative darling.

MENTAL HEALTH GAINED traction during Jimmy Carter’s presidency with the first President’s Commission on Mental Health and passage of the Mental Health Systems Act in 1980, which sought greater integration of programs for people with serious mental illnesses. In 1981, after Ronald Reagan took office, this act was repealed,

Mental Health Services Then And Now
The changes to mental health was because of a case, which I support, filed by the ACLU that stop states from committing people to mental institutions that were not a danger to themselves or others. Just because someone is different does not mean they should be locked up.

"The ACLU's most important Supreme Court case involving the rights of people with mental illness was filed on behalf of Kenneth Donaldson, who had been involuntarily confined in a Florida State Hospital for 15 years. He was not dangerous and had received no medical treatment. In a landmark decision for mental health law in 1975, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that states cannot confine a non-dangerous individual who can survive on his own, or with help from family and friends."

I know. Crazy, isn't it? Extremists will never understand how they come across.

Read the article in the Times. Among all the literature he had one piece was conspicuously absent, anything about and/or related to the shooting in Norway. So why did the Hartford Courant report that he was fascinated by Anders Breivik and why did the news media run away with this narrative?

You already have your next mass murder, that is Obama.... get over yourself...

You grabbers kill the unborn like it is going out of style and you then expect us to believe you are seriously upset over 26 more? Get outta here..

This has nothing to do with the law abiding.
This has everything to do with the Politically Correct bull chit life style of pretending nothing bad happens, pretending everyone is equal, and pretending that if you are nice to a violent criminal that criminal will be nice back. That's plain stupid.

Quit lying to yourself and everyone else. It is foolish.

The PC experiment has lived it time, and FAILED.... lets get back on board reality for a change, and quit pretending.

I am still trying to figure out how anyone, especially law enforcement can consider 6 firearms and ~1400 rounds of ammo to be an arsenal?

as of counting today, I have 317 firearms and 822,000 rounds of centerfire ammo. even my friends (some of them are cops) dont think I have an arsenal.
