More crocodile tears from the right.

It’s too late for the “right” to apologize, but not too late for them to tell La Pierre where to go (like Somalia, naked, with an insulting ’toon of Mohammed tattooed on his chest). It IS time to regulate weapons of mass destruction, namely high capacity, semi-auto rifles, shotguns, and pistols. It is bullets that kill, and the ability to fire off many of them in a few seconds, has to be stopped.

It amazes me how you can so continually blame everything wrong in the world on republicans. 1/3 of our population owns guns, roughly 100 million people. I know for fact they are not all republicans. Our societies violent nature goes deeper and beyond anything the NRA stands for. They are now a convenient target for blame here. They are lobbyists, much like the others on K street in D.C. that control our politicians. Try blaming ourselves for the failing family structure, ineffective mental health system and our demand for a constant stream of violent movies and video games that keep the viewers immersed in a river of blood and gore. Why are assault weapons so popular? Hollywood made them the mass destruction gun of choice.
100 years ago you could buy guns from a catalog. Did we have these problems then?

“More crocodile tears from the right.”
I guess you feel Gorrell is incapable of seeing the tragedy and insanity of this shooters actions? Seems to be a pretty blatant statement that doesn’t excuse, but lays the blame squarely in the lap of the AR crowd…

No, it is pretty blatant when the right stonewalls progress on this issue. Now, if Obama comes out with a proposal, watch him ridicule it.

It is NOT progress you want, but submission. It took a man who broke atleast 4 laws to commit this crime. Gun Laws do NOT stop criminals. When you anti-gun nuts learn that, then maybe progress will have been made.

how many more children have to die until it changes?

I don’t appologize, YOU and your gun free areas allow criminals a safe environment to commit this type of tragety. If the Principal. or a few of the teachers had been armed, this mnever would have been so horrendous, and probably would have been stopped before it had begun.

“PASS A LAW”
That is not the solution.

Yes. Your hearts are broken. Which happened long before this latest mass shooting. Broken hearts don’t cry, nor bleed, nor feel empathy for the continuing roll of the dead. Broken hearts only care for objects.

Yes, certainly. And the Good Witch of the West will descend from the sky, bringing love and joy to all.

You’re quite right, strongly agree with you, gun laws won’t stop gun related insanity.
So, why don’t you remove opportunity instead?
Do you really need assault rifles with flesh exploding bullets to feel safe?

“It is NOT progress you want, but submission. It took a man who broke atleast 4 laws to commit this crime.” What four “laws” did the shooter break exactly? I would REALLY like you to enumerate them. You won’t, because you can’t.
