I say ban high capacity gun-free zones.

Definitely related.

So “Uncle Jonathan Lanza” may be a fake.

I wonder if the reporters bothered to ask for an ID? If someone was presenting themselves as a close relative in a case like this, I’d want to see two forms of ID, say a picture drivers license and a major credit card with the same name.

From the message board link above- the page before has someone tagging the “Uncle” being Jonathan Lee Riches. Looks like the articles all got scrubbed when it was outed....

I’ve seen a statement from the CT police saying anyone presenting false information would be prosecuted. Probably only applies to statements to authorities, not lying to the press as this appears to be.

Ping since you were on the other thread where we were talking about this. It appears that “uncle Jonathan Lanza” is a scammer.

"...the mental-health issue. A lengthy study by Mother Jones magazine found that at least 38 of the 61 mass shooters in the past three decades “displayed signs of mental health problems prior to the killings.” New York Times columnist David Brooks and Cornell Law School professor William Jacobsen have both suggested that the ACLU-inspired laws that make it so difficult to intervene and identify potentially dangerous people should be loosened."

Exactly.

captain Zero needs to rush right in there with his pre-planned agenda that just needed “an incident” to put into motion.”””

An average of 10 kids in Chicago are killed every weekend in Chicago-—Obama’s ‘home town’.

Someone enlighten me about how many appearances Obama has made such as last night in Connecticut.

I don’t remember a single appearance.

As usual, Obama also shed crocodile tears—from the upper part of his eye, where no tears form—and when he ‘wiped’ his left eye—he used his middle finger-—AGAIN.

I have never seen a person who is more visible who likes more to use his middle finger to the populace.

What a scum bag he is.

I was wondering who was intended for the “bird” in that presser. The guy needs his ass kicked,

A lot more innocent people and Muslims are killed on a daily basis in the two Muslim paradises we created. But the murders are shrugged off as "Muslims being Muslims". It is also understood that the murderers (usually suicide bombers) are directed by terrorist "masterminds" (like the one who directed 9/11). There is no hand wringing about the "cause" being violent movies, drugs or the easy availability of explosives.

The Muslims perfected the technology of directing weak minded young men to commit political murder 1000 years ago (they invented the term "assassins"); there is increasing evidence that this technology has been brought to the USA. No doubt it is just a coincidence that the massacres serve the political interest of the Muslim-raised occupant of the White House. No doubt it is also a coincidence that the White House occupant was involved in the murderous "Fast and Furious" plot to frame American gun dealers.

The first question that should be asked in investigating the massacre is "who benefits?". Not even the savages of the Middle East are stupid enough to blame inanimate objects.

Better yet, address the overuse of botox by politicians ~ particular Democrat politicians ~ this stuff will numb an area in the middle of your eyebrow ridge and make it impossible for you to understand the emotional state of others.

Remember when Nancy Pelosi told us everyone must be happy with Obamakkkare because, alas, she didn't see anybody who was unhappy. That was the botox talking.

I think it extends to the school/theatre/church/shopping center shooting situation ~ the big dog Democrat politicans fail to see the real emotions on the face of the people and imagine it's time to trot out the old failed policies of the hoary past.

Here's to Dick Durbin ~ I AM UNHAPPY DICK ~ give up the botox and we'll talk!

Yes, you are correct.

After posting I realized I misinterpreted the claim.

Under normal circumstances, students were not allowed to walk around with guns.
