Well, here we go.  AN emotionally disturbed individual commits a heinous act and it's the gun's fault.  It's been the agenda of the left to strip American's of their rights and liberties, all along telling them that government knows what is best for them.  The majority of Americans have become good sheep and are willing to give up their liberty for what they believe is safety provided by the government.  It was Ben Franklin who said, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

The main stream media is running full tilt with this as expected and the run on guns and ammo has begun.  For some reason, the left seems to think the 2nd amendment is about hunting and that guns such as the AR-15 should only be available in a war zone.  This shows their ignorance quite well as if you're in a war zone with an AR-15, you will be far outgunned. I heard one raging Lib say that if you shoot a deer with an "assault rifle", you won't even be able to use the meat!  Seriously? Now, who are the nuts here?

Criminals don't pay attention to laws.  If making guns illegal is the answer, we should do that with meth and crack too. Uh, they are?  Wow, those laws are really effective, huh?  This kid stole his mother's guns (against the law), broke into a school (against the law) and killed people (against the law).  See how effective laws are?  Data shows that the gun ban during the Clinton years was ineffective. 

This was obviously an immense tragedy and I feel for the parents and those affected deeply.  However, this is an emotional reaction to the tragedy.  The focus should be on the individual, not the tool that was used to commit the crime.  Out of all of the AR-15's in this country, how many have been used to carry out mass killings? 

Since 1950, all of the mass killings with the exception of one has taken place in "gun free zones".  Why?  Because the attacker knows he will not meet resistance.  It's not that hard to figure out.  Gun free zones are a huge problem.  Is a gun free zone suppose to keep a criminal from bringing a gun in?  The only purpose it serves is to keep law abiding citizens from bringing their legally obtained and permitted weapon onto the premises.  Therefore, it's a great place for a coward to go kill people. 

In my opinion, the main stream media is an arm of the left wing government and due to the overwhelming amount of sheep who live in this country, they can control the topic of debate and the outcome of it as well.  I just hope that law abiding gun owners stand up and show that we will not be stripped of our rights and liberties.  Thomas Jefferson said, ""The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."  Well, it's coming and we should all be prepared. 

I think this quote says my thoughts quite well, ”The philosophy of gun control: Teenagers are roaring through town at 90MPH, where the speed limit is 25. Your solution is to lower the speed limit to 20.”
