I wonder if anyone had the nerve to ask them how many young children, the same age as their kids, are killed every week by their parents or caregivers. As tragic as the massacre in Newtown, CT was, every week more young kids are killed by their own parents than were killed by Adam Lanza. And rarely with guns.

In almost every case mental health issues are present.

So how come those parents from Newtown, and a bevy of politicians and media personalities haven't ever been bothered by a Newtown a week for years?

One reason - their real motivation is disarming the population, and sadly the parents from Newtown are exploiting the death of their own children to advance a political agenda.

Maybe they'll realize the problem isn't what law abiding gun owners do, but what people with mental health problems do. Addressing those issues could save thousands of young children every year.

Uh, no. We all KNOW that the problem is guns. There’s no telling when some svengali of a colt .45 will mesmerize an impressionable nut bag and create chaos never before seen. As for the kids who are aborted, shackled in closets, burned with cigs, raped, mutilated, sold on the street, “sequestered” in basements. As long as no gun was used, it’s not a problem. Pretty disgusting. Maybe king hussein should get shotgun jo jo byedumb on that one but I doubt it.
