According to the Washington Post article, “Biden, in Connecticut, makes fiery plea for gun control in speech near Newtown”, VP Joe Biden is quoted as saying:
“I can’t imagine how we will be judged as a society if we do nothing,” Biden said. “If you’re concerned about your political survival, you should be concerned about the survival of our children. And guess what? I believe the price to be paid politically should go to those who refuse to act. . . . The American people are with us.”

Well, I, on the other hand, can’t imagine how we will be judged as a society due to self-serving politicians using the horrific deaths of innocent children to push through their control agendas. Such politicians should be ashamed of themselves.
It wasn’t a gun owner that killed the little children in Newtown, Connecticut. It was merely a kid, who took guns that did not belong to him. A kid that apparently had mental issues. The latter being what the focus should be on. What made him capable of such horrors? What set him off and sent him on the crazed killing spree of innocent ones? Were there any signs? Was there any stopping him or was there a tragedy just waiting to happen one way or another?
Law-abiding gun owners did not kill the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary, yet they are being held accountable as if they did.
Biden can’t imagine how our society will be judged if the politicians don’t swiftly restrict the lawful gun owner? The gun owner that hadn’t a thing to do with the devastation?

What about the mental illness and illogical thought that is the core to such horrendous and tragic incidents being played out? That’s where the killings begin, not what law is on the books for the law-abiding citizens that just happen to exist in the same world as those who are prone, or could be prone, to acting out in such an unspeakable fashion.
It bears repeating…
The gun may have been the weapon of choice for some, but never doubt that a troubled mind bent on killing, will find a means and a method. It’s time to deal with the real problem – the troubled mind – rather than playing politics with tragedies such as the one that played out at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Shame on the politicians who are using the innocent little ones to push through a personal agenda. One day, reason shall return and you shall be judged within its light. When that happens, you shall find that fancy words, polls, ads and propaganda will no longer serve you. The people will be onto you and your motives. You shall then be scorned and mocked. Your hopeful legacy shall be invalidated.
