How about these?

Supporters and opponents alike of gun control will point to this fact in the coming days: Connecticut already has some of the toughest restrictions on gun laws in the United States.
For gun control supporters, the shooting at a Newtown elementary school will be one more piece of evidence that even stronger laws are needed, including at the national level.
“We have some of the strongest gun laws in the United States, but if you don’t have strong federal gun laws, that makes it that much more difficult,” said Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence.
But advocates for gun owners and sportsmen say that shows that the law can only do so much.

Wish it were so here in New Jersey...
True enough.
Even here in the Czech Republic, the notion of going on a gun rampage is not a good idea. Lots of folks have a concealed carry permit. Getting one isn’t easy to be sure, and there is no “shall-issue” provisions in Czech law. If you want one, expect the Federal police to talk to your neighbors, your spouse/partner, your co-workers, and you can expect to have a little chat with a Federal police shrink.
And you must also demonstrate the ability to field-strip and reassemble your firearm to a Federal police firearms instructor, and of course proficiency and safe-handling.
Here you’re not limited as to the amount of ammo you can have at home, unlike Switzerland and Israel, so in that sense, it’s a bit more relaxed here. Of course registration and licensing is mandatory.
Liberals want more failure.
The want stronger Gun Control laws, even though Connecticut’s strong Gun Laws failed miserably at Sandy Hook
They also want more rights for the Mentally Ill (disguised in the form of “more treatment”). Liberal ideas in the way the Mentally Ill are handled have led to way too many drugs, psychiatrists, and psychologists. It also uses Mental Illness as an excuse to get away with a crime.
Liberal ideas are a main factor in these tragedies. We need to take a stand against such repeated stupidity
Absolutely true. Leftists are incapable of rational, linear though. Reason and logic -- in other words, cold, hard FACTS -- cannot dissuade them from the soft "feelings" they cling to. In fact, they'll just double down on illogic when they're challenged by reason.
Case in point? Obama's stimulus. The Leftists believe that it failed not because the entire premise is economically untenable, but because they didn't make it STRONG enough.
Madness. Simply put, Leftism is madness.
Timothy McVeigh, Andrew Kehoe, and Julio Gonzalez killed nearly 300 Americans...NO GUNS were involved.
The strict Israeli gun laws did not stop the school shootings. They were in effect before the school shootings started. Armed Israeli teachers and students stopped them.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but it’ll never happen here. Much of the country will never go for arming the teachers and especially the students.
I think we need a more mainstream approach, and that would be for a government mandate for schools to provide armed security guards. Enough to put two at each entrance and to have at least one walking each hall constantly. If that requires a tax to pay for it, fair enough.
If the government is going to twist our arms to put our kids in public schools, then they damn well should be expected to provide quality security for them. The current gun-free model has proven to be a disaster.
The only thing to protect yourself, your family and the lives of others is to use your gun. Everyone should be required to have a gun, know how to use it and we will see an end to this madness!

Hollywood and the MSM created these monsters, and now Hollywood and the MSM will blame the tools, not the cultural wreckage they wrought. Let's turn the focus back around where it belongs.
See 31.
The guns are exactly the same as they have been for over a century. They are a constant in the equation. What has changed is the culture. Hollywood, video game companies and the MSM glorify mass slaughter, we need to blame them for wrecking the culture. The culture was changed, the guns are the same. We are blaming the tool, not the cultural terrorists who should be blamed.
Leftists, liberals, and progressives both train, and are trained, to respond to weapons ... with posturing that puts them in a perspective of “abhoring weapons” as viewed by their social circles.
They train people, more correctly, they cajole and coerce to get people to shrink back, instead of to respond with knowledge.
I point out to liberals, that they may “abhor firearms,” but they should know how to disassemble and make useless, firearms, for the day when such a weapon may be made so, and thus save lives.
They always reply, “I never thought of that.”
That they may be in a bank, where a guard and perp scuffle, and the perps weapon comes sliding across the floor to this liberal’s feet.
They never think about, what they should do, when confronted. That appears to be part of their nature, to react by looking around to find something or somebody to blame.
They do not want the responsibility of civic duty, all the while they preach what is other people’s civic duty ... but then duty calls *them.*
And they posture, instead of standing up for human responsible agency *on their part.*
I am beginning to realize, that I’ve not met a true liberal for individual rights, since the 1960’s. Every liberal met, since then, is a control fanatic, nearly desparate to be perceived highly, by their taking politically-correct steps to reduce *the character to stand up* in other people around them.
Liberals these days, have almost no tolerance of individual liberty, no tolerance of human responsible agency, no tolerance of the sovereignty of the people.
Liberals whom I know, resent freedom of choice, they resent the powers of our individual states, indeed, they seem to resent anything that avails an individual to be *not* like-minded with these liberals.
The only reason that they tolerate me, is because they know that God is strong in my heart, and I am so-guided to do the right thing, and that, I will stand up and resist bullies, oppression, thugs, and politicos who seek our subjigation.
They also understand, that I know well, what weapons can do, and I respect the science; that I have no affection for weapons, other than my sense of profound duty to uphold the memory of all who dared to stand up for our liberty, by meeting the call to Arms.
I owe our worthy founding fathers and *our* fathers and mothers, to not lay down our Arms.
Everyone is talking about guns. The parents were divorced. For how long? Let’s talk about single mothers raising kids. And reportedly the younger son had a personality disorder and may have been taking meds? If true this did the mother knowingly keep guns in the house? Were they under lock and key?

Wonder what the fascists think of the fact that cars kill more people than guns,do we out law cars?
There’s not much physically you can do to stop an insane person bent on killing. A mother can strap the kids into car seats and drive the car into a lake. How do you stop that? A person with some brains can figure out how to kill lots of people without using a gun. We want simple solutions, but there aren’t any. I grew up a liberal Democrat. I even argued for gun control at one point in my life. I don’t anymore. Especially not after Waco. How many innocent American children did Bill Clinton kill at Waco, Texas using American military armored fighting vehicles? I know the dirty little thought that is in every Democrat leader’s mind.
“It would be so much easier to implement what I want if I could just FORCE people to do it.”
That thought is in every Democrat leader’s mind. And that, is way more scary than some insane kid.
Harry Belafonte went from singing about bananas on tv to advocating that Obama send Republicans to concentration camps. That’s how Democrats, liberals, socialists, progressives think. As a former gun control advocate, let me say that what we will always need, is Democrat Control. And if you want to know why Bill and Hillary drink so much, it’s to drown out the screams of the children from Waco.
