CT Shooting- MNSBC playing up gun control minutes after shooting

[Red in Blue PA]

Turned on MSNBC for awhile and Andrea Mitchell talked for some time about gun control. She even had someone from the Brady Campaign on very quick. So quick one must think that they are ready to take advantage of these types of shootings.

I cannot verbalize my contempt for that channel.

First friend just went on their idiotic rant on Facebook. Of course, our side has more class than to jump into this debate in the middle of a tragedy.

Do these people not think it odd that ALL these shootings happen in ‘gun free’ zones?

Facts never enter into the debate when the Anti's are talking. Facts are anathema to them.

I was channel surfing and the first time I saw anything, I stopped and like everyone else was saddened. One of the first things the news reader said was they had contacted the White House and they told them this was not the time to talk about gun control.

I was astounded. Obama actually had more class than they did.

How about an alternate meme: If the teachers had only been armed, this would’t have happened.

It seems to me that whenever a building explodes somewhere in the US, as the newspeople hop in their cars to get to the scene, the first thing they say is, “We don’t know much yet, but we can say that this is not terrorism-related.”

“...playing up gun control minutes after shooting...”

Expect a full court press on this one...irrespective of the circumstances and altogether apart from the facts!

[Revolting cat!]

Unexpected surprise.

Give him a few hours.....he is probably working on his script now.

May the unrepentant 2nd Amendment traitors, especially the leftstream media anti-gun advocates and legislators who took away the right of school administrators and teachers to defend their students, burn twice as long in hell as the piece of excrement that committed these murders.

[Standing Wolf]

It never takes the carrion feeders long to show up and resume shrieking to obliterate the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

[Red in Blue PA]

Bingo! The best defense would be armed citizens/teachers who could fight back.

I would ask the left (or anyone) to show me one instance where having unarmed people helped the situation when a shooting took place.

We always hear that people might get his by the crossfire.....so a full-out slaughter is better????

Leftist “logic”.....never makes sense.

[Ironfocus]

Special kind of hypocrisy from MSM and libs:

18 children dead = massive tragedy, need discussions on national level, new federal gun control laws, activism groups, marches & constitutional amendments.

1.3 million children dead = woman’s unalienable right to choose.

[BerserkPatriot]

That’s the Mostly Socialist National Bull Spewing Channel at it’s best.

Yep, it's all feeeeeelings with them. I just had a friend tell me that 99% of shootings are committed by licensed gun owners, with is patently untrue. I provided irrefutable evidence to the contrary.....not surprisingly, to on avail. They choose to believe otherwise.

[RC one]

yes, panic the firearms market- that’ll help decrease the number of guns on the street. Just look how well it’s worked for the past 20n years.

[skeeter]

Meanwhile it seems all reference to how this deranged lunatic was stopped has been omitted from reports.

Instead they simply say he's dead - no details.

Earlier this week, I was over in DU and there was a thread about that Fox News Correspondent who had gotten beat up by union thugs in Michigan. At least 80 percent of the comments in the thread were along the lines of “he deserved it” and “it’s about time we fought back.”

In short, the DUers are saying violence is justified in their cause. This is one of the many reasons I will never support gun control. What if people like the DUers got to run the country they way wanted to? History has shown a determined group representing a minority of the population can rise to power sometimes.

38 kids were killed in the Bath Michigan massacre in 1927.....wonder if MSNBC will address this tonight? Guns are not the issue.....psychopaths are. The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–11 years of age [1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history and the fourth-deadliest massacre in U.S. history, behind the Oklahoma City bombing, the Mountain Meadows massacre and 9/11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster
