Connecticut Shooting

Today at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a shooting took place there. In total, 28 people were killed, consisting of 20 students and 8 adults, including the gunman and his mom. The kids were from Kindergarten to grade 4. President Obama made a speech today, giving condolences to the families that lost their loved ones today.

I myself feel disgusted by the actions of the shooter. Killing little kids? That's absolutely low. Obama made a speech today and some of you might think that he's faking his tears, but don't forget that he's also human. I believe that he really does feel sorry for the people who died today. But this topic shouldn't end up becoming a debate whether Obama is a good or bad guy. I'm also hoping that there will be stricter gun control laws in America after this incident, for the sake of preventing future tragedies like this. Sometimes I ask myself, "What has become of our world?" It's messed up really badly, that's for sure. But I give my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones today and R.I.P. to the victims.

It is pretty awful. It's sad that these kind of things happen so much. Even more sad is that there's really no way to keep this stuff from happening again. All the gun control laws in the world won't stop some crazy bastard from getting a gun if he really wants one.

The same can be argued for just about anything. Thing is, one less attack (even if there that's one less out of a hundred) is a good thing.

Sad story. I think gun laws need to be tweaked. You shouldn't be able to own an assault rifle, or any weapon used primarily for war. Rifles, shotguns, handguns. Those are all fine IMO though.

I've no words for how sad it is, and how I so question just how a person that mad can exist. But it's one of those things no one will ever be able to explain; we humans have such a capacity for both good and evil, yet it is so rare that we use that potential on the good side of the spectrum. My feelings and prayers go to those who lost their loved ones today.

As for the impact it'll have on gun control, does it even fucking matter right now? I'd wait until we've got the guy, or guys, who did this behind bars before we start talking about more unnecessary government power over the sheeple of today's society.

They suspect that there might have been a second shooter. They had one guy in custody yesterday and were questioning him.

America needs a gladiator arena so people like this can all just go in one place and kill each other instead of bystanders.
