There was no connection between Sandy Hook Elementary School and the gunman who opened fire there last week, Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance told reporters Monday, citing school authorities in Newtown, Connecticut.

this is even more messed up.

Lott offers a final damning statistic: “With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.”

this was something i did not know....fantastic stat actually.

So basically this guy had a.grudge against life and or was extremely unstable. Which makes him one of the "once every 50 years or so" category...so now this is a political shitstorm so to speak of the pompous gun controlling morons. ?

68 children have been killed in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan in the past year. This number is confirmed, but it's believed to be higher.


Just some food for thought.

Disappointed in this post.

Did the drone strikes target kindergarten classes specifically in 1 morning? I almost hesitate to even argue against this because it is so vastly unrelated/without parallel. Adam Lanza entered a school on his own 2 feet with the intention of engaging and killing as many children/teachers as he could manage, with that as his only reason for being there, and on top of that, killed himself as an end result on the scene.

They just arent comparable situations on any level other than young people died/were killed.

I know they are unrelated but we need to look at society as a whole. And our actions everywhere.

A society that breeds violence should not be surprised when violence turns it's ugly head here.

I am taking a very philosphical stand point here, and i know that very few will agree with me. I can elaborate, but choose not to.

And here is another deadbeat misinformed politician.

http://www.larson.house.gov/index.ph...=1605&catid=62

"It's time for Members of Congress to act! Congress should be prepared to vote on requiring background checks for all gun sales, closing the terrorist watch list loopholes, and banning assault weapons and high capacity clips. Those measures don't solve all our problems, but they're a start. We also need to focus on our mental health care system. We need to support a better process for families and friends to share their concerns and fears with authorities about people's mental status, and begin to invest in the human infrastructure needed for effective prevention programs that create healthy children. The pattern is clear- action must be taken. To do nothing in the face of pending disaster is to be complicit. It's time to act. It's time to vote."

Notice how mental health comes second to banning firearms? Background checks are already required for gun sales and even private handgun sales. If you sell you a criminal, you get charged, it you buy for someone who cannot, you go to jail for 10 years. Every new law we make around this tragedy are more laws we cannot enforce. He didn't even use an assault weapon anyway, so banning them isn't going to solve anything when THEY ARE ALREADY BANNED IN THIS STATE.

One day, people will understand....one day.

Unless you are a monk high in the Himalayas, every culture and society has a history of breeding and creating violence.

Sounds like the perfect description for the exact example you are using as the victim in your case, Pakistan. Or, substitute any country in that area, or any country AT ALL for Pakistan, and your example is the same.

If you're trolling, I am going to drown you in McDonalds BBQ sauce.

The unfortunate truth is that they never will. Not as a whole. I hate to say it but its true.
