I'm speechless. I'm actually speechless.

This is even sicker. A quick way to make a buck I guess?

So evidently the copy cats are starting in my school. There's talk of a bomb threat coming tomorrow. Police have been notified. Should be a fun day.

[BoMac]

Now this is just ridiculous:

Police Raid Gun Store Where Nancy Lanza Purchased Rifle After Owner Was Unaware That a Man Stole an AR-15 With Plan For a Massacre

[cobl04]

Ridiculous headline too.

CLASSY . Go to hell, Pozner.

Steved, oh, good lord, seriously? Here's hoping it's just a stupid false alarm.

I remember there were kids who used to make "joke" threats like that at our school from time to time back in the '90s. 'Cause, I don't know about you, but nothing says "HILARIOUS!" like threatening, intentionally or otherwise, to attack and kill your classmates .

I was in Woodbury to be a part of the counter protest to the assholes from Wesboro Baptist Church who thankfully did not show up at Prinipal Hochsprung's wake/funeral.

These people are truly the scum of the earth.

Yeah it was. There were a lot of plain clothed officers around this morning to keep an eye on things.

NRA Head LaPierre says that "Gun Free Signs" at schools tell killers that schools are easy targets.

Sure, okay.

Because someone that is unstable, has a death wish, and is intent on killing with a weapon of war is going to care that someone on campus has a handgun.

[BoMac]

He wants an armed police officer in every single school in the country.

OK.

I didn't even want to mention them but thank you so much for doing that. Good for you.

I just shake my head at these NRA people. Wow, they're doing all this free of charge. I'm so impressed.

I think you're just confused and I don't mean to be critical or anything like that. But Noah Pozner was one of the child victims, the scammers are just using his name and the family name falsely. That's my understanding of it. The family has one legit web site of their own, I saw Noah's uncle on CNN but I can't remember the name of their site.

Missed the NRA speech. Though, from looking at my twitter feed it was a standard blame the media and we need MORE guns speech. I have a feeling this is going to go poorly for the NRA.

'The NRA is Killing Our Children': Protester Interrupts NRA News Conference

I love this comment someone posted

"If only someone in the room had been armed this woman never would have gotten close to the stage"

[BoMac]

Essentially, the NRA blamed everything: media, music videos, video games, and diminishing parenting skills EXCEPT guns.

Typical.

OK.

The shootings in Aurora, Colorado were at a movie theatre. Should there be an armed guard in those places too? Better yet, an armed guard on every corner in this country and turn the US into a police state?

Ugh, I'm so disgusted with their reaction. Bearing arms is more important than people's lives.

[trojanchick99]

The NRA is the PR arm of the gun manufacturing industry. Of course they want MORE guns. It's high time people figured that out. Also, what a joke talking about a "serious conversation" then not allowing questions.

Police Raid Gun Store Where Nancy Lanza Purchased Rifle After Owner Was Unaware That a Man Stole an AR-15 With Plan For a Massacre

One way in which to keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them is to make sure that gun stores stop thieves, especially ones that brazenly walk into a store, take a gun off the rack and walk out. Or, at the very least — like, the absolute least there's ever been — gun stores should realize that a gun has been stolen in the first place. A gun store in East Windsor, Conn. failed miserably at both of these tasks earlier this week, and consequently was raided by the feds tonight. Oh, in a poetic coincidence, the store sold one of the guns used in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.

Yes, Riverview Gun Sales was swarmed tonight because a 26-year-old named Jordan Marsh, pictured above STEALING A RIFLE, was found to have a 50-caliber AR-15 with a scope in his possession at the Hartford Hilton on Saturday. Marsh did not pay for the gun — he took it off the rack and walked out of the store without anyone realizing it. Marsh reportedly has a history of mental illnesses and police believe he was planning to carry out an attack "similar" to that of Adam Lanza

The entire incident is completely mystifying before you even read the part where this has happened at the same store multiple times, including by the same suspect.

Police said Riverview Gun Sales had no idea the AR-15 Marsh stole was missing. Management at the store didn't know about 11 guns that Marsh had allegedly stolen last year until they were notified by detectives.

Inventory control issues at Riverview Gun Sales have occurred before. In 2007, state police raided a Somers home and found a bunch of stolen guns from the store.

So, there you have it. In East Windsor, Conn., the rifles are under the care of almost literally the least responsible man in the city. But don't worry — he told reporters that he feels terrible that one of his guns was used in the Sandy Hook massacre. Feel better now?

I posted that one page ago.

Isn't fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography," LaPierre said.

So absolutely NO one who owns an assault weapon or any other kind of weapon fantasizes about killing people as a way to get their kicks. None of them play violent video games either. Check. All NRA members are as pure as the driven snow. Check.
