Absolutely horrific that this occurred in our country. I had an image pop up on my FB feed today showing all the faces of those that died. Amazing how we go from one tragedy to the next....

Given the circumstances of this it's worse than any other tragedy we've seen in our lifetime (IMO)...

Yet the liberals refuse to enforce the gun laws and remove criminals through Project Exile. Instead, they want to punish law abiding citizens for legally owning guns.

Let's not forge those liberals called NRA terrorist because NRA wants to put security guards in school or allow school teachers who have CHLs to carry guns. Liberals fought armed security in school so hard that one must believe that liberals don't want security guards in school because they don't want to be shot at next time they shoot up a school.

Please note for us all how current gun laws would have prevented the Sandy Hook tragedy?

And it wasn't the first time something like that happen in our country. A madman killed 38 elementary school children, 6 adults and injured 58 others.

"In 1927 Andrew Kehoe, the 55-year-old school board treasurer, was angered by increased taxes and his defeat in the Spring 1926 election for township clerk. He was thought to have planned his "murderous revenge" after that public defeat. He had a reputation for difficulty on the school board and in personal dealings. In addition, in June 1926, he was notified that his mortgage was going to be foreclosed.[3] For much of the next year, a neighbor noticed Kehoe had stopped working on his farm and thought he might be planning suicide. During that period, Kehoe purchased explosives and discreetly planted them on his property and under the school."

That didn't take long, first reply in and the gun nuts are off and running. Did the Op say anything regarding gun control, relax or at least wait a few pages before you rant.

Yeah it's close between the two. But given that it was done to school children make it worse than 9/11 -- just my opinion. But yeah, both were horrible.

Not to prevent Sandy Hook but at least reduce the number of gun death.

But the discussion is about Sandy Hook. A sick twisted minded kid was not given or allowed proper mental health treatment. We might be surprised how many there are out there living in dark basements, enabled by denying parents.
