WTF?? ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING

[Ronin13]

My thoughts are also with the first responders. They will live with the the images they witnessed today forever. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Hope parents, teachers, kids and responders are all provided counselling ASAP.

I echo this... One of my buddies on Jeffco was among some of the first to respond to Columbine, and he said that was the worst day on the job he ever had to deal with. There is nothing, let me clarify: NOTHING, worse than hearing on the radio "Active shooter" and "School." Heartbreaking. The cops up in CT woke up this morning and this was the last call they ever wanted to have to respond to.

And our illustrious leader just made the statement that "the countries leaders must take meaningful action regardless of politics"

Saw the speech while I was home for lunch... he was red eyed and trying not to cry. I'll bet he sheds no tears as he signs legislation that further kills our Bill of Rights.

UPDATE on the latest from FNC and local CT outlets:
[Dickless] (name not being mentioned) grew up in Newtown, CT, mom was a teacher at the elementary school. [Dickless] currently resides in Hoboken, NJ, father found shot to death in NJ. Mother presumed dead. 20 children confirmed dead, 5 adults, 1 [dickless] shooter. Reports from CT state police say he entered the school dressed in "military style clothing" during the morning announcements, went into the admin offices, opened fire, then entered a classroom. Horrible. I hope hell is treating him appropriately.

I had to close Facebook and turn off the TV; I couldn't take any more of this today. Just terrible, and how people are already politicizing this makes me sick.

This, folks, will be the event that changes gun rights in our country...

I had to do the same. I think I have several friends who are "unfriending" me on FB as we speak. They are all chanting "gun cotrol" and I tried to chime in and explain that will only keep them out of the hands of honest people. Didn't go over well. It's like a linch mob out there. LOTS of anti gun talk going on. This may be the beginning of the end.

My kid's school is ALWAYS locked. Only parents and teachers with a unique personal code can get in. Even during busy drop-off and pick-up. Others have to be visually identified and then buzzed in by staff.

Wouldn't keep out the serious crazies like this guy, but at least it's a good security policy that would slow down a bad guy and give the school time to lock down rooms or get kids out...

Not sure if true or not but there has been information that the shooter was "buzzed in" because the staff knew him.

yes sickening.....



even if we who believe people are the evil ones not tools or objects there will be those gun owners who will give in do to this and make us extreme enthusiasts and off our rockers and not sensible. It will be interesting to say the least of what we will become with a stroke of pen. I have always believed myself a law abiding citizen and good person. I will NOT sacrifice my beliefs or thinking because of a sick individual's actions.

Exactly.
I dont want my kids brainwashed by a bunch of liberal teachers.
I dont want to have to feel like my children are not safe.
I dont want my kids to be exposed to certain things at certain times of their development.

I want to teach my children.
I want to provide security for my children.
I want to expose my children to age appropriate things, when I say. Not when some liberal bureaucrat says to.

I'm a school teacher.....Are we going to lump everyone into one group? I'm not a liberal, and many of the teachers are conservative as well. Isn't that is what the media is going to do to gun owners on this issue? The reason there is no police officer at every school is because most people don't want to pay for it. Most people have the mindset of "it won't happen to me" There are several teachers at my school who have CCW including myself. There are many of us that would love to carry at work to be able to counter someone like this. We can't until the law changes.

And at approximately 98,800 OTHER elementary schools nobody was shot today.

We must be careful not to set policies based on extremely rare circumstances.
