There has been a horrendous mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. At this time, 27 people are reported dead, most of them children.
This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones (gun free zones) where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere.
It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them.
And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.
That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.
In such a shooting (as in every criminal attack), seconds count, and the people best positioned to stop the attack are the people on the scene – the intended victims and/or their care-takers. In this case, that would mean the teachers and staff of the school, and also the parents, who should have the ability to save the lives of their own children as they take them to and from school.

Open carry is a good thing and it works, just like it did back in the day. Diane Feinstein should set an example and turn in all of her guns and try being passive and see how it works for her. Even if all guns and ammo were destroyed, more could be created and there are other kinds of weapons that people would use on each other. The news media is pandering to violent criminals and the gun control crowd, they need to quit using the term "Gunman" and quit calling them "Sick", they should refer to the violent criminals… Read more »
You are quite correct, a 'gun free killing zone', disarmed, helpless citizens and children to be killed at the leisure of insane murderers until they run out of ammo, have a weapon malfunction or get killed by the cops when they FINALLY show up.
You are also right in that the anti-gun rights crowd will whip up the emotions of the sheeple and ram through some kind of insanity up to confiscating legally owned firearms of every citizen. THAT will stir up some dust.
He was 20 yrs. old and as such had the Guns Illegally… The Mother bought them and what would she want w/ a Bushmaster?? I'm betting she got it for the Psycho Kid!
I couldn't agree more. An armed society is a polite society, on the premise that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens are a deterrent. But you can bet that the Left will now move to completely and totally disarm the American people. Diane Feinstein, that gun grabbing California Senator, had anti-gun legislation ready for Obama's second term. She stated that, if she had the votes, "Mr. & Mrs. America, turn 'em all in!" This type of attitude toward firearms is despicable, as is Diane Feinstein herself. She has a concealed carry permit, she also bought her son a… Read more »
Sad Day, How about getting rid of permits entirely and recognizing a person's right to keep and bear arms? "There is no absolute safety unless all guns, all ammo (both legal and illegal) are taken away and destroyed." -SD In other words: Impossible. Because all militarys and police of all countries would have to do the same and destroy theirs as well. "They ought to make tough laws to sentence anyone (who use guns for robbery) to death penalty" -SD If it is described in detail as a specific law (Ex: "ARMED ROBBERY"), then yes. But when they get you… Read more »
I agree with most of it except one thing: allowing parents to conceal carry and come to school, because bad guys can also get CCW, the recent cases in CO and CT, both men would probablt get CCW since they had no criminal record before! Arming the teacher might be a better idea (on a volunteer basis) and the teacher must be vetted thoroughly and take CCW class. I doubt many teacher would do that, but as long as some teacher would have CCW and bring guns into class, it will serve as an deterrent. There is no absolute safety… Read more »
Wow. Can't argue with this premise…but ain't going to happen now. America died today. The repercussions of the events of today are going to sound the death knell of the 2nd Amendment. Obama will now have public support behind him and congress will bow to that pressure in order to get reelected. How many more people will die now as the confiscation begins. We are finished at our own hand. God help us.
