Actually, stanchaz, I'd like YOU to tell US with a straigt face exactly how many NRA members have been involved in ANY mass shooting, ever. And those 'precious gun rights' you sarcastically sneer at are not just the NRA's (like you try to make it sound) but EVERY American's, by birthright. Every heard of the Second Amendment? Do you know what it says (or any other Amendments, either) without having to go running and looking them up? With a straight face, again, tell me that every gun owner in the USA is happy about this massacre, and that they're somehow responsible for it when it wasn't even a gun owner but a gun THIEF who carried it out. And sitting there cutting and pasting the names and ages of the kids only reveals you to be the callous cheap shot artist you are, gleefully using their deaths to attempt to further a left-wing political agenda, and to broadbrush people who had nothing to do with this. Heck, man...let's outlaw knives and cords while we're at it, since they too are used to kill people with. QUIT USING THESE DEAD KIDS FOR YOUR POLITICAL AIMS. You're just as low as the killer, to do that. You know better. Knock it off.

The Belfast Telegraph has the truth hours before the American media. The mother of the killer was NOT a teacher but a survivalist/Prepper, who taught her son how to use assault weapons. She "liked the singlemindedness of shooting!" Her sister-in-law Marsha Lanza said her gun-obsessed relative was part of the ‘prepper’ movement that fears an economic collapse will lead to a breakdown in society. “She prepared for the worst,” Ms Lanza said.
“Last time we visited her in person, we talked about prepping — are you ready for what could happen down the line, when the economy collapses?”
Nancy Lanza (52) had five registered firearms, had begun stockpiling food and taught Adam how to shoot. He is believed to have used three of her guns — a Bushmaster .223-calibre, and two handguns, a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9mm — in the school massacre after he shot her dead in bed.

So tell me, National Rifle Association-
tell me honestly and with a straight face-
what's really more important:
your precious gun "rights" ,
or the horrendous and shameful "wrong"
of having our children and neighbors slaughtered by guns?
Are we just going to let this go on, and on, and on?
Or... are we going to FINALLY take action, and enact
meaningful, national, gun restrictions and controls?
Twenty tiny caskets are telling us-
nay -they are PLEADING with us:
- PLEASE - don't let our deaths be in vain!

All the little ones are "little angels", not just this one. As for the shooting itself, I ask why was there no guard on duty, or was there? I see that all the adults killed were women. Were any of the women guards? I fail to understand why such a vulnerable community should be taken out by this shooter.

I had to bring my six-year-old granddaughter, Kelly, to school this morning and Friday was very much on my mind. I wanted to just hold on to her, to keep her home from school. Of course, I couldn't. While I am in NJ, far from the shooting site, I couldn't help but think about it. The morning routine was a bit different...all the teachers were assembled in the hallway, which is not usual. There was a Police SUV parked next to the school...something I've never seen before. This tragedy has permanently changed life in America. We now know that nowhere is safe anymore. Nowhere. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. It also goes out to all those children who witnessed these events, which will impact the rest of their lives. I also question why the mother had these weapons in the home with a child who was described as "unbalanced." I'm glad he killed himself...I just wish he had done that before taking so many beautiful children from their families. May he burn in hell for eternity.
