    Its understandable to not know the facts with all the misinformation being sent out but I find it sad and interesting that you have his brother already strung up when the only thing said up to that point was he was wanted for questioning. Just because he wasnt home dosnt make him on the run. Hell im not home right now, if the cops were looking for me they would just wait till I got home.

    Do you really want to bring your country into this form?
    it is your ancestors that are the very reason that americans hold so tightly onto their guns.
    After our forefathers were done sticking their guns up your ancestors asses the first time they held onto them just in case your kings got any funny ideas.
    Feel free to be upset but I think its wise to leave nationalities out of it.

    ...for 236 years? We've not had a King for the last 60 of those years. And you have those little things called 'nuclear weapons' and a standing army/navy and air force.

    ozrics was a little crude, but most of you do, and most of you can - from a person who thinks the proliferation of guns has got out of hand.

    Wrong. Dead wrong. I spent a decade in newsrooms.
    saw, completely on a fluke, and then covered OKC bombing, 1999 tornadoes, Bailey High shooting, intentionally set fires in homeless encampments, and other horrific things.
    I even covered the death of a cohort in a plane crash with a college basketball team.

    Journalists are people. We have emotions. Some handle them better. Not me, that's why I chose print.

    I've seen many tears flowing in newsrooms. But we have work to do, and we do it, just like trauma medical personnel, first responders, firefighters.

    All those ads were sold months ago.

    You forgot the war of 1812 in your math.
    There is still a saying I hear from time to time. "i have a gun so the king of england dosnt walk in my house. Sure there hasnt been a king for a long time but the saying gets passed down along with the gun mentality.

    Question, what good would a nuclear bomb do me if a platoon of enemy soldiers docked on the beach thats a few blocks from my house? Oh yeah im supposed to sit back and hope they dont kill me until the army makes its way over here because its not spread to thin or anything.
    dont take me to serious though, I just get a little more defensive when people from other countries say how it should be here.

    It's maths - not math. Jeez, you can't even speak correctly. Who in the world, aside from you, says, math'? NOBODY.

    It's, to put it mildly, irrelevant now, isn't it?

    Ever played 'modern warfare'? You guys would blow us into the stone-age.
    Is it likely a platoon of Britain's finest would actually make it to your coast with out you blowing seven shades of....before we even managed to say 'hello'? Let alone the No. of UN mandates we would be compromising. Equity would be established before any of the local yockels needed to get involded.


    Trust me, I wasn't. You should not need me, or my country, to figure out your gun laws and love of guns is out of control.

    Yes, I say a prayer (even though I am an atheist,) - we can agree on that, brother : /

    Sorry for being pig-headed... not the time.

    I'm curious why they did it.
    Maybe they didn't like kids?

    OMG, I was badly shaken, hearing this news. This is the saddest incident which has happened most recently. Children of elementary class and their parents, oh man. I cannot imagine what they would be going through at the moment. This world has become so strange and unpredictable.

    Its not the guns
    REOPEN the Closed State Mental Hospitals.... and remove drug abusers from prisons ....and put everyone with any mental issues in the mental hospitals...... Its time to stop ignoring the mentally i'll...... As a 12 yr old i was put in one for gender identity disorder and met many people who today roam the streets or suffer in prisons... Its inhumane not to deal with mental illness. ....Many teens and young people need to be evaluated.... Many drug users need help not prisons. ...SHIFT the money from prisons to mental hospitals ....and get our youth some much needed help!! .....Many parents can't get their children help unless they can get the youth to admit to being suicidal..... Many youth won't admit it..... Its better to commit people and check them out for a month or two verses having no way to evaluate them. ..... I would rather see abuse of mental patients verses children being abused or murdered. OPEN THE MENTAL HOSPITALS AGAIN ..

    Yes many lifers will get moved to group homes which is good and better than jails..

    Put any youth in for at least a 30 DAY Commitment and any adult for at least 5 days

    Also give anyone who goes thru a mental evaluation a bill of mental health when released and proven sane.. That would remove the stigma

    Controlling guns is not the problem.. the high standards to getting someone committed is the problem.. one has to be a threat to themselves to be committed.. that is wrong..

    Our health system would rather not pay for help and rather they go to prison so the taxpayers pay for it not the insurance industtries..

    Prisons are also big business and we taxpayers pay for it while rich get richer making $ on the suffering of the mass population

    Demand they reopen state mental hospitals.. yes some may be wrongfully committed but it is far better than the mass murders being committed

    ^ You are pretty right, I am afraid.
    I think that a similar kind of incident also occurred in USA before, when some guy entered a university and killed (I believe) some 12 odd PhD scholars and stuff and then he committed suicide on the spot. That was a mentally retarded person's act and this one is too. :(

    my bad, you were right. all those farmers should have put away there weapons since it was the Americans who felt they were being wronged.

    i don't know if you've read a lot of history textbooks, but those weapons didn't really do them much good, since they lost, and all.

    You really think you know everything about everything, don't you. That qualifies you as the latter, or at least a republican, or all three.

    House speaker Boehner and the GOP canceled their weekly radio address today, because of of the massacre. Just nothing to say about it. Heartless?

    Bet they'll be fighting the upcoming gun control. Cons don't care that it was kids that got killed, they care about their sponsors, the NRA.

    The spot light is on the cons on them this time. Public opinion is coming down hard. It will even have a negative effect on the cons with regard to the fiscal cliff. Cons can't hide from their heartless selfish greed any more. They've been exposed. You too egg. But I do feel sorry for you. I don't think you're getting enough sun.

    mentally ill? yeah, i am, actually. i suffer from an anxiety disorder and sporadic bouts of depression, so fuck off.

    and a republican? definitely not. we don't have a party anywhere close to as fucked up as your republicans here in canada, to start with. and i generally vote for the NDP, which is much further to the left of the political spectrum than your democrats.

    my first post was not disagreeing with you, i just think that you should be more respectful of where and when you spew your repetitive political talking points. i see the same things repeated from you so often, that i assume you're just copying and pasting at this point.
