I feel bad about the kids and teachers being killed just like anyone else, but why are we punishing millions of other law abiding citizens.I blame the parents for this, they never seen their kid had mental problems and they left guns like these laying around that this jerk could get his hands on them, they talk about assault rifles, but this kid used a 9mm to do these shootings not some assault rifle. As always the politicians go off the deep end to get people all riled up and start trouble like they always do. This kid had something wrong with him and should've been getting help, so put the blame where it should be.

"why are we punishing millions of other law abiding citizens" Because thats the SOCIALISM WAY. I remember in grade school...if I got in trouble, then it was ONLY I who took the swats... not the whole class. Nowadays, we TEACH our children that if Johnny is bad in class, THE WHOLE class gets punished... and this has been going on long enuff that we are starting to reap the rewards of that first generation under that teaching is getting old enuff to vote... so, for the rest of us.... hang on baby! because its about to be a WILD RIDE!!!!!!

In the aftermath of the horrific Newtown, Conn., school massacre, Americans from all parts of the political spectrum agree that we need to pay more attention to mental health issues. Public death threats and incitements to violence must be taken seriously. The incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is neither noble nor effective. It's just plain insane.

Over the past week, I've witnessed a disturbing outbreak of off-the-rails hatred toward gun owners and Second Amendment groups. Whatever your views on guns, we can all agree: The Newtown gunman was a monster who slaughtered his own mother, five heroic educators...
