Tell them it’s not the just government. In the UK, guns are pretty much banned yet gun violence by the criminal element has gone up by 400%!

In other words, your chance of getting robbed at gunpoint in London is up 400% over 20 years ago. And they banned guns right around that time, too.

India has a ban on guns, but just a couple of years a few terrorists with guns shot hundreds of people in Mumbai and all the victims could do was cower or try to run away.

There is no easy answer—tell them that.

Prayers up for all concerned. We’re at that horrible stage when all sorts of rumors are flying, and there isn’t much for any one of us not directly involved to do but pray. BTT.

I heard on the scanner a bit ago that swat was blocking all media access to this house on all roads.

Parent just said you had to be buzzed in to get into the school. Second shooter has been taken into custody. Terrorism?

We just got rid of the death penalty in Conn, so if there was a second perp (still alive) the max they could get is life in prison.

Worst school shooting in US history if the death toll is accurate.

Earwitness says she heard over 100 rounds coming from outside her door.

And oh by the way — the principal just announced that afternoon kindergarten is called off today. I am not making that up —

Violent crime is higher in the UK than it is in the United States. ‘Nuff said.

I understand you both. I know you are well intended. Even with good intentions, there are times when you will only increase the body count by taking action. Don’t make your family members deal with your loss, if you can’t truly make a difference.

This will be my last comment on it. I don’t want to argue with you.

You’re far too close to blaming the victims for my taste, but the identified suspect so far is no more than 20 years old.

>What the hell is going on in this country??? Almost every day now there is a mass murder shooting happening somewhere. Shopping malls, schools, everywhere.<

My thoughts exactly. One event, or two, but a series of murders involving very young children?? Pure evil.

I did. They then turned their venom on Rush Limbaugh and I forcefully reminded them of the crap spouted by their side too.

I am trying to find out what part of NJ to listen for scanner feeds. Depending on what city the activity is in, we could narrow it down to either a crazy guy, or mad mo.

Pulled suspect out of woods. Camo pants. Turned around and told cops, “I didn’t do it! I didn’t do it!”

Moral and ethical breakdown. Laws don't matter anymore. Everyone is a "victim" of something.
