Sandy Hook shooting survivors to graduate with mixed emotions without 20 of their classmates

The children who survived the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, will be graduating high school with mixed emotions.

From the piece...

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Like graduating seniors everywhere, members of Newtown High School’s class of 2024 expect bittersweet feelings at their commencement ceremony — excitement about heading off to college or careers and sadness about leaving their friends and community.

But about 60 of the 330 kids graduating Wednesday will also be carrying the emotional burden that comes from having survived one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history and knowing many former classmates won’t get to walk across the stage with them. Twenty of their fellow first graders and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.

We seldom think about the survivors and the stuff they had to go through. Glad to see that many are graduating and have gotten past (if not gotten over) the tragedy. Sad to see that so little has changed in the area of the availability of these weapons. It has gotten worse; not better.

Lanza's mother bought both rifles that Lanza used to kill her as well as the AR-15 that he used to kill the others. What legislation do you suggest to stop a deranged kid from killing his mother and stealing HER weapons?

They weren't impressed by the thoughts or prayers.

The legislation from countries where that happens very rarely. Seems to work.

What legislation? Be specific.

Lol.

Pretend such legislation doesn't work or doesn't exist all you like.

Pretend you don't know what it means all you like.

After all, it's still other people's school kids, right?

A bargain for easy access to firearms.

Nothing's changed.

~~~~~~
To add insult to imjury, Lanza's mother also bought the ammunition used to kill these children.

Only if you throw the Constitution away. No thanks.

I watched ABC's news segment with George Stephanopolous on this yesterday. Pretty disgusting to see him use these students to further his anti-gun agenda and reminding them of the horrors of that day just to push that agenda. I keep on waiting to see ABC and the like actually report that if every single one of those "common sense gun control measures" had been in effect, almost every single one of those mass shootings would have still happened. But, I realize it will be a cold day in hell before the media actually admit that truth. But, never let a good crisis go to waste.

Legislation that prevents people from owning weapons capable of murdering dozens of children in seconds.

Just throwing that out there.....

Do those countries have an equivalent of our 2nd Amendment?

You obviously do not live in Connecticut. We have the most tyrannical, draconian gun laws in the USA. All guns must be registered. To buy a single bullet, one must take a class, get a special permit, and then every single bullet purchased is recorded and reported to the Connecticut government.

Nowhere else in the USA is tracking every bullet sold, or maybe there are other places? Connecticut is the only place I know that a person needs a special permit.

Fuck yeah! Who wants live children when we can have a dusty ass piece of 200+ year old parchment? Merica!

That or you could look up the stats before and after gun free zones.
My guess is you’ll choose to remain stupid.

Or I could ignore your strawman and look up stats about our gun violence compared to the rest of the developed world....

What would that look like?
