Sandy Hook Elementary school

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.

It’s unbelievable! Comprehension incomprehenable. How many times do the facts have to be given and how many times do they have to be explained before folks get it? What part of reality and facts fly over their heads? One can only wonder and hope it isn’t catching.

Miss New York, Mallory Hagan (according to ABC news) was crowned Miss American 2013, but not before she spit out some astonishing thoughts that do represent too many of the people hanging out in the USA today.

“In the wake of the Newtown tragedy there has been a lot of talk about gun control,” Champion said, “One solution being proposed is an armed guard in every school. Do you think that would make our schools safer?”

Hagan responded, “I don’t think the proper way to fight violence is with violence.

The presence of an armed guard is not violence in action. It is a prevention. However, if someone rushed into a school ready to blow away the kids, would Ms. Hagan prefer that it is a specially trained officer or guard that intercedes or the unarmed school counselor who may have read textbooks by some utopian authors? Me? I’ll take the trained armed guard or police officer.

Hagan goes on to say:

I think the proper way is to educate people on guns and the ways we can use them properly. We can lock them up, we can have gun safety classes, we can have a longer waiting period.”

Wait! She wants to educate someone who is mentally ill on guns and ways to use them properly? Gun safety classes and longer waiting periods?

I will say this very, very slow.

Ms. Hagan, the shooter at the Sandy Hook school did NOT purchase the weapons he used. He took the weapons illegally for illegal purposes. Your theory of educating him on guns, gun safety classes and longer waiting periods does not apply in this tragic case. In short, your theory — no matter how pretty and delightful it sounds — is totally irrelevant to the facts at hand.

You, Ms. Hagan, and those such as you, keep talking about making new rules or bans that would mostly only apply to the law-abiding citizens anyway. Can’t you understand that the criminals and mentally ill people don’t give the slightest darn what the rules are, except maybe to find a way around them? Most of them are simply going to steal the guns or buy them illegally off the street. So, what part of that don’t you understand?

Reality oriented people keep trying to tell all you “let’s make some more rules for the law-abiding citizens to fight what the criminals and mentally ill are doing” people — that your reaction and solution does not make sense.

Stop and think.

Pervert teenage boy tries to touch a girl improperly in the school hallway. Girl slaps boy. Teacher is witness to the incident and is therefore required to go to sexual harassment in the work place classes.

Same thing. Makes as much sense.

Wrong people are being held accountable and the suggestion they should have classes, requirements and bans that aren’t even relevant to what transpired — is irrational thought and reaction!

The Sandy Hock tragedy had nothing to do with gun laws being too lax. The shooter didn’t acquire the weapon or weapons legally. He was a kid with mental problems. And that is what everybody keeps forgetting or passing over , as they strive to punish the legit gun owners, who had nothing to do with this horrible incident.

Bans and new gun ownership rules and regulations?

What part of the facts don’t some people get?

The Sandy Hook shooter wasn’t a legal gun owner, nor had he applied to be.
