Elementary School Shooting

[Dan Druff]

I was going to post a video of him when he was at college being asked about the Daily Show's impact on elections but it has been deleted. Seemed very mellow on the vid.

Andrew & Ryan Interview - YouTube
"An compilation interview with Quinnipiac students Andrew Vazzano and Ryan Lanza about The Daily Show and The Colbert Report."

Then Druff that was his facebook if this picture is right.. Who the fuck was saying that shit that it wasnt him?

Some douche changed his own Facebook to Ryan Lanza's name and pic and was pretending to be him denying the shooting.

Also I gotta laugh at you euros who think just making guns illegal in the US will fix things here. 20 year process? WTF? So even if that worked, which it wouldnt, we are supposed to sit and be the criminals bitches for the next 2 decades?

Pretty out of touch IMO.

There aren't enough facepalm gifs in the world to reply properly to that.

Why facepalm?

The guy is right.

You can't just confiscate the guns from a culture where guns have been ingrained for 500+ years.

You especially can't do it in a country where violent crime has been a persistent problem, and where tons of illegal, stolen, and unregistered guns are in the hands of criminals.

Imagine if you are a guy who wants to break into houses, but are afraid of being shot by the gun-toting homeowner. Now imagine if you could be pretty much guaranteed that with any house you break into, you'll have the gun and the homeowner won't. Are you telling me that home invasion robberies wouldn't go way up?

What about businesses? Imagine how many more businesses would get robbed if criminals knew that the owner or manager didn't have a gun hidden behind the counter or in the back room.

It would be a freaking disaster.

If you think otherwise, then you truly don't understand America.

It is a sad day when sending your kids to school isn't safe anymore.

Facepalm because Cokehead made up crap that noone had argued.

So that really was Ryan Lanza on his own FB page?

So that really was Ryan Lanza on his own FB page?

It may be his younger brother. Police won't say. Also rumor shooter had his brothers ID on him which confused the police.

"Ryan Lanza has told friends his "developmentally disabled brother may have committed the crime".

School is the most dangerous environment my kid enters. It has been that way ever since he developed a medical condition that requires him being around at least one person that is informed, intelligent, and responsible enough to follow simple instructions. Teachers and their administrators don't generally meet that criteria yet we hand them the job of educating our children.

Suggesting taking away guns, LO FUCKING L.

Imagine the headlines of "Federal Government Invalidates 2nd Amendment, All Guns Must Be Destroyed"

You thought the Tea Party was bad, imagine how big the mobs would be if this happened, and rightfully so. Lot of gun nuts are just waiting for that day...

Bottom line: The best defense is a good offense.

No offense to the people calling for extreme gun control because of issues like this, I know your heart is in the right place, but IMO you are being completely unrealistic. The banishment of guns in the USA is an impossibility. It will never happen. Never. I agree we need stricter gun control laws. A scumbag like that asshole in Colorado should have never been able to obtain the enormous amount of weapons and ammunition to pull off that shit. There is no doubt about that, and that is inexcusable and needs to change, but to call for an all out ban on guns is insane. It would never work and only bring about more chaos.

So, instead of arguing over a mans right to bare arms, I think we should focus more on the social aspect of these mass shootings. Why has it become so much more common now than it was, let's say 30 years ago? Sure you had Charles Whitman in 1966, but aside from that this was never something you would see happening. We have always had guns, yet this type of crime was never really an issue until Columbine. Why is that?

Just had a tragedy where I live in October where a drunk or stoned driver drove his vehicle into a school & killed a kid & injured a few more. You don't consider this when you drop your kids off at school &, quite frankly, you shouldn't have to.

agree it'll never happen

Whitman was due to a brain tumor that altered his personality. Unfortunately it didn't take away his shooting skills.

Bare arms is fine. Anyone who tries to take my XXXL tshirts will have to rip them from my cold dead flab.

[mulva]

newtown is the town above me. i was on the road in sandy hook when the 911 call went down. cops were coming from all over. news sources paint a picture of newtown/sandy hook as being rockwellesque, which is a little true, but it's is quite a bit bigger then my town. and quite a bit bigger then "small town america"

my wife's relatives daughter just graduated from this elementary school.

i will now be even more sad every future birthday

Because you should not be numb you should be outraged.

Well, sorry. I'm also not particularly outraged about so many children dying from automobile accidents, drownings, or neoplasms. These things kill more children than firearms in the US, but if I posted a thread about it, you'd all probably shrug and say "Hm. What shame." I don't think many of you particularly care about those problems either (at least not to this extent), even though it's little children dying.

I think many of you are just being emotional because you're angry about gun control.

Unless you have kids you really shouldnt even comment itt, because you have no idea what its like to be a parent, and how something like this affects every single parent. To compare this to random deaths is beyond idiotic, but then again you were actuaaly Micons bitch for awhile, so your not too bright.

[ShadyJ]

Other than banning assault rifles gun control shouldnt even be brought up. Shit like this has nothing to do with it. Unless theres a magic way to take away every gun away in the world your wasting your time even discussing it. Its simple if someone wants to kill they will regardless of gun laws.
