Tea Party Patriot George Zimmerman stopped Trayvon Martin from going on a rampage, but heartless liberals say he's a murderer when he's actually a hero. Who knows how many people Trayvon was gonna kill.
Do people really think that some gym teacher with a gun all the way across the school can actually do anything when a guy uses a semi-automatic rifle to gun down people in seconds?

Sorry, I meant to say lib s (get it, cause they're re ed
)
Ironically, the dude was from New Town, Taz. The fact that we're leading the way when it comes to bullets and guns is crazy. We have more gun violence than anyone in the world and we're the only country to use nuclear weapons, not once but twice, and will be quick to tell someone else that they can't have any.
I don't mind hand guns and rifles but assault weapons need to go. People about our rights being taken away, well, we can't even control ourselves. It won't solve the problem because some fool will probably go into a school with a glock and just start unloading. This country was built and founded on violence and guns. This wasn't the first time and sadly, it won't be the last.
all DC politicians are scared less of the guns-and-ammo industry and its marketing arm the NRA.
With apparently 300M guns already in USA, the horses are already out of the barn, which is now nothing but target practice for the gun fetishists and "patriots".
Nono with the Hammer of Thor
Oh yeah that one. Thanks.
The sister-in-law from (North Carolina, I think?) had made comments to local press about how the mother was a gun enthusiast and also a survivalist type, along the lines of some of the Doomsday Preppers out there. It's been stated that she was convinced that there was an imminent economic disaster on the horizon.

A Mother, a Gun Enthusiast and the First Victim

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/ny...rous.html?_r=0NEWTOWN, Conn. — Nancy Lanza loved guns, and often took her sons to one of the shooting ranges here in the suburbs northeast of New York City, where there is an active community of gun enthusiasts, her friends said. At a local bar, she sometimes talked about her gun collection.
It was one of her guns that was apparently used to take her life on Friday. Her killer was her son Adam Lanza, 20, who then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 26 more people, 20 of them small children, before shooting himself, the authorities said.
Ms. Lanza’s fascination with guns became an important focus of attention on Saturday as investigators tried to determine what caused Mr. Lanza to carry out one of the worst massacres in the nation’s history.
Investigators have linked Ms. Lanza to five weapons: two powerful handguns, two traditional hunting rifles and a semiautomatic rifle that is similar to weapons used by troops in Afghanistan. Her son took the two handguns and the semiautomatic rifle to the school. Law enforcement officials said they believed the guns were acquired legally and were registered.
This is Victoria. She died a hero
She hid her first graders in the cabinets and closets after hearing the gunfire. When the shooter came to her classroom, she told him that her students were in the gym. He then gunned her down and moved on. She saved the lives of all of her students. Please pass this on if you see it. She deserves to be remembered for her bravery.

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/connec...ry?id=17984499Multiple sources have told ABC News that Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster .223 semi-automatic rifle at close range to kill children and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday.
Two handguns were also found at the scene, and a fourth weapon was found nearby. The weapons discovered at the school apparently belonged to a family member, possibly his mother, according to authorities.
Lanza, 20, forced his way into Sandy Hook on Friday morning and killed 20 children and six adults before committing suicide. He drove to the school after shooting his mother in the face at their home.
The weapons that police recovered from the scene included a Glock 9-mm handgun, a Sig Sauer 9-mm handgun and a Bushmaster rifle. Police also found .223 s casings. Lanza was wearing a bullet-proof vest.

This is getting ridiculous now. 50 shots fired near Macy's at the mall but thank god no one was killed. Lucky this asshole wasn't aiming for anyone, but dumb regardless.
Just devastating..

“This is a very devastating set of injuries,” Carver said. “I believe everyone was hit more than once.”

Connecticut school shooting: parents reveal how teacher Kaitlin Roig saved their children's lives
The parents of two young children broke down in tears as they described how their son and daughter narrowly escaped being killed by a lone gunman. \\
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ens-lives.htmlHe said Lauren's teacher, Kaitlin Roig, 29, had bravely attempted to protect her class by barricading the room with a bookshelf before ushering 14 children into a small bathroom.
There, the horrified 1st Grade pupils were told to remain quiet as the shooting continued. It was only much later, when a police had secured the school and an officer pushed his ID badge under the toilet door, that they knew their ordeal was over.
"I don't know how to face our other neighbours and friends who weren't so lucky," said Eric, who struggled to retain his composure as he spoke.
"I don't know what to say to them. It's a guilt you feel: I'm so happy that my kids came home but at the same time I feel terrible.
"We've heard, and our kids can't confirm this as they said they just heard static, that somebody either accidentally or intentionally clipped the PA system on when the trouble broke out in the classroom.
"That way it was being broadcast to the entire school so everybody heard the shooting, the yelling, the screaming."
His wife, a volunteer at Sandy Hook, said Lauren had been in the middle of a lesson when they heard a noise. Her brother had been in a fourth grade class at the back of the school.
"The teacher took them all into the bathroom, locked them in and told them they all had to be very quiet," she said.
"She reacted so fast. She crowded 14 of them in a tiny space and made them stand on the toilet. She got them all in there.
"After some time, when the police were in the building, they knocked on the door. The teacher said: 'You're going to have to show me some ID before I open this door,' and they slid a badge under. She acted very heroically. She was amazing."
Time to move on.
the next mass murder will be arriving soon.

gun-and-ammo industry solution (which includes the NRA gun marketing assholes) solution: MORE GUNS!
You make stupid arguments. That kid would not have killed any other way. He took the easy way, a gun from his mother.
You didn't list the shootings in the Washington DC area by the sniper.
They didn't beat the USSR with stones and spears.
Every household owns an AK. You have to.
All the locals firing back at Whitman, which kept him down and unable to keep shooting.
