Ms Conte called the ordeal 'sad' for Lanza and his family, and suggested that the violence is a portion of a much larger situation.
'Guns are easy to point to, but it's really a mental health issue.'

How many video games did Hitler play? Stalin? Tojo?
When whites were slaughtering American Indians, which video game were they emulating.
When blacks were being lynched, did the (mostly men) who lynched them learn it from playing Xbox or Playstation?
Sorry for the sarcasm, but c'mon. We have a long bloody history behind us, and blaming it on something as new as video games is pushing it.
No. I am right. Also, I see very few articles on Obama.
I read the thread. You are being deliberately obtuse. We’ve established you’re a gun-grabber, we are just trying at this point to plumb the depths of your disease.
I asked you a simple question, and if your reply is a moronic “read the thread,” then I have to assume you think the mother’s guns should have been taken away from her, even though she was sane and had committed no crime. You have accepted the left’s argument in total.
Maybe. Perhaps we should lock he up for life. No, wait....
Maybe people will stop bashing men soon. It makes me sick. That masculine figure is so important in a home. Even though my husband died quite young, he had set a good foundation for our children and they have (mostly) married good men or are great husbands.
Yep, been waiting for some one to bring that up.
Thing is, you would get at least half of the people in this Country to go along with it.
Not all British papers are tabloids. The Times and the Telegraph aren’t. Here is a list of their formats and other info such as political leanings of each paper.

There have been many urban drug addled parents who have let their 2, 3, 5 year old children have access to their guns,
Yes, in the news, they have shot themselves, their siblings or a friend.
I want all Americans to have the right to own guns. I own many. But can we damn a druggie not let one lie on the carpet for their little toddler shoot themselves?
Or cyber school - there are plenty of web resources. Not going to be discussed, because a) the teacher's union won't stand for it and b) many parents rely on the "babysitter" feature of sending them off for the day. Point b) is relevant both for the druggies and other social detritus but also for many career folks who are away at work all day.
No, I am right. I have read it for years. They are center right.
I felt under fire BEFORE Obama. During his second term I feel fear for the Constitution.
The US federal government and its employees.
The mentally ill are already not allowed to have guns. These were not the shooters guns. He stole them.
You are not addressing the cause of this problem, and that problem is THE SCHOOL HAD NO DEFENSES AT ALL. All you are doing is attacking the freedom of innocent people. Knock it off.
You are not going to stop this from happening again. It is going to happen again. The only question is whether or not the victims are going to be defenseless again, and my guess is that they certainly will be, because people are just plain ****ing stupid.
I have many guns. I am not a gun grabber but to you.
I have been typing one handed for some time to please you.
I give up, you win. You are right.
We have a despot in the WH. Go off and smirk. I cannot help.
Yes, I agree. If I had children, which I am not going to, I would not send them to school at all.
It seems to me that the purpose of school these days is to utterly destory children, and they are effective at it in a number of ways.
OK, I have many guns. I live in Los Angeles.
You say the mentally ill are not allowed to have guns. I don’t remember ever having to show even my drivers license.
What are you suggesting?
I’m not trying to be a jerk, although I’m sure you will accuse me of that ...but are there any measures to keep a psychotic from buying guns?
Funny, the mods have pulled every photo like that of Lanza that I have posted.
Maybe, just maybe, BunnySlippers, (please at least consider it a short moment) everyone is disagreeing with you because, you, not they, are wrong.
If you can’t reconsider, or still think you are in the right, then it is possible that your idea, being in the minority here, needs to be better defended by you, instead of pitying people or appealing to just read the article.
I'll say it again. Support your claims with a reference to annual deaths attributed to children accessing firearms.

Oh, I do not for a minute, think I am in the minority. Your bad.
