How many more school massacres are needed to restrict gun sales?

Until our society changes the way it reacts to these killings, get used to them.

Instead of blaming the killer, these massacres always digress into a debate about gun control—which implicitly suggests that this course of behavior is, in fact, normal—and that guns are simply a catalyst that allow these events to occur.

Instead of dismissing any reasoning as obviously illegitimate, people search for a motive that “would drive him to do such a thing” which implicitly supports the killers choice of action as reasonable.

Instead of highlighting the lives of the victims in remembrance out of respect, the murderer himself achieves center stage celebrity—one of the most coveted desires of the present ‘look at me’ generation.

To the current generation, raised since birth under the dogma that ‘everyone’s views are equally valid’, this kid isn’t a monster, he’s a martyr.

Until people and the media quit being afraid to demonize the perpetrators of such acts and quit looking for reasons “Why?” and heaving up arguments for and against guns like vomit, kids blowing up their schools and shooting their teachers will become an everyday occurrence.

How many people need to drive drunk before we restrict car sales? Oh sure Sober people drive, but that's just an excuse to make buying a car easier. Oh and guns DON'T kill. Set a gun on a table and see how many people it can kill. Oh wait without ANYONE to pull the trigger it can't work. Even in a case of misfire, that STILL requires the person. The gun sitting there by itself WON'T misfire. How will restrictions help when the guns were already legally owned? They were STOLEN basically from the legal owner. I'm not against gun restrictions, I'm against stupidity.

No you should take in consideration what advisers behind the scenes have said and written.

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." - Rahm Emanual

“… In the technetronic society the trend seems to be toward …effectively exploiting the latest communication techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason. Human beings become increasingly manipulated and malleable …” - Dr. Zbiginiew Brzezinski

During a speech in 1995 Attrobey General Eric Holder says people need to be brainwashed into thinking negatively about guns.

"It seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing…a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.” ALDOUS HUXLEY, quoted in John Marks, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control, 1980.

The shooter illegally obtained the guns...in other words the sale was restricted. It didn't work.

Criminals by their nature don't follow the laws.

Do you honestly think that he would have said..."I plan on murdering dozens of people but I better not do it with a gun...they are illegal"

Do you know what WOULD have ameliorated the situation... if the teachers had been armed and trained in defense.

That would have almost certainly reduced the killings. Defiantly more so than failed gun restrictions.

NO gun has ever been charged with, let alone convicted of, a crime.

It is a people problem, NOT a gun problem.

When my father was a kid, going to school, he often took his rifle so he could hunt on the way home, as did many others in his school; (he was born in 1895.)

THIS shooter would have been stopped, DEAD, had he tried this when my father was young.

NOW, schools are "gun free zones," in most places, guaranteeing UNARMED VICTIMS for any NUTCASE with a gun.

Even when I was a teen, 40%+ of students were armed, (even though it was obviously illegal,) and the worst that ever happened at school was a fist fight.

People will get guns regardless weather its legal or not. Only problem is the people who get them illegally are the people doing the crimes. It will then be the criminals with illegal weapons and the good citizens with no protection at all. Guns will never cease from production no matter what control you put on them. As long as they are being produced, people who aren't supposed to have them will find a way to.Simple as that.

Let me ask another question.

Why, in America, do people apparently live in such fear of others that a woman feels she needs an assault rifle and two handguns to be safe in her own home.

It is not a question of controlling guns. It is a question of building a society in which the atmosphere which requires people to have guns is no longer present.

Ask Hillary, since the 80's she seems the Appointed One for Sacrificing Kids to The Owl God, starting with decapitations in Arkansas, the corrected Apocryphal oven in Waco (in the original, the kids were allowed to walk out), and now she's taking her road show on a World Wide Tour.

The law says I can't own a gun but I do... gun control is a moot issue... its easier to obtain guns illegally already

Adam Lanza was already unable to by a gun, so he stole the fund he used. Exactly "how" would further restrictions on 'sales' have made any difference at all ?
