As for "Nothing short of two armed men posted at the school every school day would have stopped this evil man", I disagree. One individual on the scene with the proper mindset, armed or not, reacting in proper fashion the second the incident begins, often stops such atrocities in short order.
Been there, done that.
That can wait for another thread, IMO. You will not change that person's mind, he is a very distinct minority on FR, and all it does is detract from the larger tragedy.

Not in this case. The perp was a local. He was not in a position where he would be suspected of wrongdoing until it went down. He could have easily taken out one unsupecting armed man.
Let's let this one go from a 2nd A viewpoint. He could have just as easily driven his milk truck through the school and killed even more people, not gun requied, no way to stop him.

We're in 100% agreement. It is not as if the non-gunowners are feeling grief while the gunowners are smug. It is safe to say any sane FReeper feels enormous sadness over this terrible crime. You are right that the outrageous posts attempting to eliminate Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms cannot go unanswered.
