Really, because they took god out of school?!? Since you brought it up, what an amazing god it is that let 20 little kids be slaughtered. What do you say about all the other school shootings before god was just so easily kicked out of school?

This thread is just more evidence of the real issues here, the free availability of easy killing devices ( I'm not saying ban them) and ignorance towards science.
FYI...IMO this isn't a time for an atheistic comment... It's a time for mourning and prayers for those who lost their loved ones..Those kids and the teachers who lost their lives trying to protect them are now with God weather you believe or not.

P.S... and God is spelled with a CAPITAL "G"

Actually, the 4 worst massacres in the USA did not involve guns.

The 9/11 attacks (2,998 deaths)
The Oklahoma City bombing (168 deaths)
The HappyLand arson (87 deaths)
The Bath, Michigan bombing (45 deaths)

Sad sad sad. This isn't about guns, this is about mental illness, but the anti-gun folks are taking this and trying to say big brother guberment can keep us safe by banning guns. That has really worked on the "war against drugs".

My prayers to the families who lost love ones.

I saw this sentence in a story that stuck in my mind.

"And while each state's gun control policies differ, Connecticut's is among the toughest in the country. Yet, 27 people are dead"


Just another proof that gun control fails every time. Funny how when law abiding citizens are disarmed, the wacko's go crazy on them. I guess if you know no one will have a gun (gun control state and a school) you feel a lot bolder. There is a good reason this kid walked into a school instead of in to a Police Station. He knew he had sitting ducks at the school.

Bingo, gun control will not keep firearms out of the hands of crooks, criminals etc. Where there's a will, there is a way. Doesn't matter, they WILL get their hands on weapons - period. This kid was obviously someone with severe mental disease and defect. It's just truly sickening.

I have not heard yet how the kid got the guns. I did hear that the guns were registered legally to his mother. Did she not have them locked up? If that is the case this has nothing to do with gun control, but everything to do with being totally irresponsible with your weapons. I feel terrible for all the lives lost but I bet at the end of the day this could have been avoided with a gun safe.

horrible event. obviously all thoughts and sympathy go out to the families.

Separately, the political reactions are ridiculous. As most have said, this shouldn't be about gun control and legislation is not a cure. Pulled from my favorite Libertarian source; I'm not being callous, but thought that gun controll could have prevented this is a difficult conclusion for the rational mind to reach.

There are probably a hundred different theories on why this happened and how it could have been prevented but right now what these families need are our prayers.

I agree. Let's all pray after the guns are locked up.
