May the unrepentant 2nd Amendment traitors, especially the leftstream media anti-gun advocates and political leaders who took away the right of school administrators and teachers to defend their students, burn twice as long in hell as the piece of excrement that committed these murders.

You know, the shooter(s) had TIME. This took time. Someone could have responded, if armed.

All those little ones, apparently still there.

Hope you are wrong but Obama gave the marching orders to his media lapdogs through his fake tears today and they are running full stream ahead with it. With Boehner at the helm...no telling what will happen.

We can beat it, if we push hard enough. The last time this was done, the Democrats controlled the house, and there were 30 million less AR, AK, SKS and similar rifles in the nation.

They have become mainstreamed, and we can use that to keep the insane legislation at bay.

We only need half the house to stop this, and I think we can.

I cringe when I hear tragedies like this..so many why’s & trying to make sense out of things that don’t make sense. I cringe because I believe one day it will be my brother on the news..I know I’ve talked about it a few times here before but all of my family (except for my enabling parents) know my brother is a ticking time bomb but nobody wants to hurt my parents feelings so we all just play nice, trying not to rock the boat. It’s a very sad, frustrating & dangerous situation. I pray for not only the families of the victims and those children/families that witnessed this horror but also to the family of the obviously sick young man that committed these horrific crimes. I pray for his family because I understand what they might’ve been dealing with & now the unbelievable, inevitable has happened.

A few weeks ago, we had this incident...on the heels of the Aurora, Colo. shootings, in July.

Charges dropped against lawyer who brought gun to theater

We grieve and continue to make common sense in the aftermath.

Not long ago, we had another massacre:

I don't know what is wrong in our little state. But people, in general have been on edge. This economy doesn't help...it's somewhere 10% here...not that this is an excuse...for outlandish behavior.

Extreme masculinity means more war, more rape, and more violence across the board.

And extreme femininity means the death of society. Look at Europe and Japan as examples. They are dying demographic deaths.

Islam preaches extreme masculinity, and they are taking over Europe by outbreeding the natives.

Within autism is an entire spectrum of other disorders as well. There is the same range of IQ’s, and other issues as in the “normal” population.

FNC: Mother shot in the face at her home with guns registered to her. Then Adam took of in her car for the school.

Wonder where the Bushmaster AR15 in her trunk (which was not used in the school) came from ... lotsa loose ends.

Well, hell, here it is the weekend and we're not speculating on general's concubines (... as the formerly capitalistic free enterprise system gleefully mutates into central control with the support of the media, and God forbid, the stupid party). Don't for a moment think that the backrooms aren't up to armpits with plans and plots to assuage this sad event to any advantage. Sadly, politics has already been applied to this tragedy, the extent of which most can't fathom; behold The One telling us to put politics aside. Um.

I'm a parent. I can't imagine the horror these families face. Lord have mercy.

We may never know, [especially from this quintessential *quiet* Norman Rockwell community], was this mother/teacher under some stress at school?...if she was, this isn’t a New Haven/Hartford/Bridgeport school full of social misfits and all their attending problems...if the mom was stressed, why did son go to *her* classroom and kill all the children? Was he protecting her from stress....we may never know.

Excuse my stream of consciousness thinking.

Hug your kid tonight. Pray for the families in Newtown. God help us.

It’s a sad state of affairs when my first thought is not, ‘Those poor kids’, but, ‘Oh, hell, what’s the media going to turn this into’...

That campaign left the launchpad today with Obama’s presser, and reason will not stop it.

His presser will be played ad nauseum and mythologized for the next decade.

Interesting...

This tragedy made me think at first...Israel goes through their children being killed so many times by terrorists.I wonder how long WE would put up with that.
