Sandy Hill and Gun Control via the UN

[Patricia M. McBride]

I am deeply saddened by the fact 27 innocent people were killed and their families will mark this Christmas holiday and future years with the sadness of having lost these loved ones.  I would agree the crime committed in Sandy Hook Elementary school was a travesty, but it was committed by an unbalanced person and not by the gun or guns he used, and society at large is not at fault.  A very sick, criminal perpetrated the crime.

Ronald Reagan warned about blaming society at large when he said "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the precept that each individual is accountable for his actions."   To make that point, I was equally disturbed when within an hour after the taking of so many little innocent lives at Sandy Hook, Mr. Obama stood before the American people once again threatening to hold society accountable by taking our gun rights away, and putting forth his best performance yet as a caring human being who genuinely mourned the loss of all these innocent children and yet, he and his wife want partial birth abortion to become legal and have killed thousands of innocent children through abortion in the last 4 years.  What about all those innocent lives lost?  I will not be fooled by this man's feined sympathy during this horrid event.

I think it well to mention the total lack of any outrage when knives are used as a weapon, or box cutters, or cars, or planes (9/11) or countless other items.  I pray Mr. Obama and the progressive contingent in Washington and elsewhere do not try to use this "crisis" to try to ram through the UN treaty to disarm Americans through unless, that is, they also willing to outlaw knives, box cutters, cars, planes (9/11) and several other items that are instrumental as aids in the killing of people of all ages when put in the hands of those lost soles of society with warped minds.

.

It is time for Americans to come together and realize it is the total loss of morality in a Godless society created by the very people who are in charge of our once great country that have brought us to the horrific events like Sandy Hill and not the guns the progressive movement wants to remove from the hands of innocent Americans.  The one and only reason these same progressives need to disarm us is so we can't fight against their plans to turn our country into a communist nightmare and our country into their personal cash cow and all of us into their personal money slaves.

The reason I mentioned Europe was that you said this was all the result of our godless society.
But now, after having read you new post I realize there is nothing we can do. Sorry kids you better arm yourselves, we can't protect you.

It seems Amanda that Conneticutt already has stingent gun control laws in place............and they didn't help did they????

The Associated Press reports Lanza brought three guns into the school: a  Glock pistol, a Sig Sauer pistol and Bushmaster rifle, which the New York Post  further reports was a semi-automatic “assault rifle” chambered for a .223  caliber round, matching casings found at the crime scene.

Lanza, therefore, if you count theft, murder and breaking and entering – since CBS New York now reports it likely Lanza broke into the school through a  window to circumvent a locked-door and intercom security system – would have  violated a half-dozen laws in his crime, including the following gun-control  statutes:

First, Connecticut law requires a person be over 21 to possess a handgun.  Lanza was 20.

Second, Connecticut requires a permit to carry a pistol on one’s person, a  permit Lanza did not have.

Third, it is unlawful in Connecticut to possess a firearm on public or  private elementary or secondary school property, a statute Lanza clearly  ignored.

Fourth, with details on the Bushmaster rifle still sketchy, it’s possible  Lanza may have violated a Connecticut law banning possession of “assault  weapons.”

Of course, these laws were violated because Lanza did not own any of the  firearms in question, but rather stole them, and he clearly had no regard for  the law in committing his crime.

Amanda, why would I know or even care what Europe does.  We have plenty of statistics right here in this country to go by and it is about Americans not Europeans.  We have enough of a mess in the United States right now for me to worry why another whole culture is different than ours........................  We do know that in this country, places like Chicago that have (and may not have much longer) laws that violate the second amendment, have a much higher crime rate and many more people getting killed.  My guess there would be the criminals really don't have to worry about how bold they are or what they try to do since they know just about everyone is unarmed and can't protect themselves.  Now, if you want to talk about Europe, I guess you will have to go find someone who doesn't think we have enough going on right here at home to worry about!

Europe is a lot less religious than our country, with fewer guns and more socialism, yet their gun deaths are a fraction of ours. How does that make sense?
