let's hope that is the case.
the Police are only confirming

The shooter being dead. I think we'll need to wait for the rush to report to calm down to get an accurate accounting.

BH. Yeah... I am just so tired of hearing about these incidents... it is just so absurd the amount of times these shootings are taking place now. Just unreal. As for here in Newtown... I cannot even explain how different it is here since Sandy Hook. It is still so awkward to bump into the parents around town who have lost their children. You just feel absolutely awful for them, yet you don't want to keep showing them any pity or any outward sadness because you feel quite sure they want to be able to go out without being reminded every single time.

And I can't even tell you the amount of people I run into that believe or half believe the conspiracy bullshit. It's just fucking enraging.

It's not utopians at all. It's logic and mathematical probabilities.

Utopians are the ones that think we can have 400 million guns in circulation (or whatever number is the most accurate), have them sold in stores all over and NOT have shit like this and all the other tragedies caused by gun ownership. It's the height of wishful thinking, really.
no, utopians are the people who blame the tools for the user  
Greg from LI : 10/24/2014 3:59 pm : link
and who think you can wish away evil people who want to hurt others.

And, on a more prosaic level, they're the kind of fucking idiots who think they can wave a magic wand, have a unicorn fart, and make the hundreds of millions of guns already in existence in this country disappear. Planning on doing house-to-house searches by SWAT teams?

Nah, you could have a buy back plan and stop the sale and manufacture of guns - other countries have done that with great success. Guns would become a lot more expensive and hard to obtain for disgruntled assholes who are approaching psychotic breaks. But the unicorn fart would be getting the 2nd Amendment defect removed from the constitution.
The money for these buybacks is to come from where?  
Greg from LI : 10/24/2014 4:09 pm : link
And what, pray tell, will you do with people who refuse to sell them?

You want a constitutional amendment to cancel the 2A? Go for it! I'd love to see that. Wouldn't have a prayer in hell of passing.

300 million guns x $750 (guesstamite avg buy back price)= $225,000,000,000

$225 Billion

What about the ammunition?

As stated above, it's too bad that these assholes can't get the shooting order correct. Blow your own brains out and leave the innocent folks alone.

How would disarming law abiding citizens keep guns out of the hands of those that have no intention of abiding by the law? Look at the flow of illegals crossing the southern boarder and the drugs that the US tries to intercept every day. Still think that guns won't reach the hands of the mentally deficient and criminals?

Also, the main stream media never reports about the legal gun owner that stops the bad guys.

I know it won't pass. That's the unicorn farts. It remains a defect of the constitution and gun violence like this and all the other examples is the utterly obvious consequence.

Argument 1) you can't stop guns from coming in. That's true. You can certainly make it a lot harder to get one.

Argument 2) Criminals will still get them - sure but a lot of the crime is not from 'criminals'. Adam Lanza wasn't a criminal until he decided to murder a shit load of kids.

Argument 3) Saving the day being suppressed by the media is a fantasy. There's no way it happens as often as people being accidentally shot, purposefully shot, or threatened by guns. Dream on.

The poster was guilty of hyperbole. That should not distract from the core point: we have a bigger problem with school killings than any country on earth. What can we do about it?
