If all the guns in the world disappeared somehow, evil would still happen...

Like everyone I have struggled to come to grips with this insane act by this young man. In my experience only two things make a man at his age snap, family and/or female rejection. Just a guess but it appears that teacher Victoria Soto was the first killed at the school. When I saw the picture of her I had an immediate feeling that she may be at least part of the answer to this atrocity.

You don’t know too much about M-1 carbines, eh, bo

I know I owned and shot one for a couple of years before selling it.
I know ammo is hard to find (that weapon started me into reloading) and the round is anemic compared to 5.56, certainly compared to other .30 calibers.
I know the 15-round magazine is half what an M4 can provide.
I know enough.

Do the laws in Conneticut prevent people to carrying legally guns? I checked but couldn’t determine if you could carry legal guns there. I believe one of the guns belong to the teacher, right?

They opened a day care center this year, and some surmised she might be a ‘teacher’ there. With everything the media got wrong yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised to find she didn’t work there at all.

And while we're mourning, let's simultaneously mourn the the pre-born corpse reality that Connecticut was #2 among the fastest-growing abortion states between 2000 and 2008!

See my post #18 at Abortions—Number and Rate by State of Occurrence for more on this...

But between 2000 and 2008, Connecticut had the second-fastest growing abortion rate in the nation among all states...And actually, Connecticut is ONLY one of 14 states to have RISING abortion rates between 2000 and 2008...

...% wise (the abortion rate), Connecticut was #8 in abortion rate...with nearby states Delaware, NY, NJ ahead of it (leading the pack).

The womb is designed to be a generally "safe" haven; yet it is the MOST DANGEROUS PLACE ON EARTH TO LIVE! More than 40% of pre-borns in many countries don't make it out alive...even though their residency period there is so short!

If the womb is the most hostile place to be...

...especially in states like...
...Connecticut & its surrounding regions of NY/NJ...
...and is even infecting PA, which had saw a drop in abortions 'tween 2000-2005...
...while other Eastern states like Delaware, Maine and NH are also rising in dismembering the pre-born...

...then how can you expect kindergarten classes to remain safe????

As the prophet Hosea proclaimed to an adulterous nation: "...bloodshed follows bloodshed" (Hosea 4:2)

A nation that is bent & intent upon killing its offspring cannot wonder how it is that there's others besides abortionists out to kill their young

The .223 was probably in anticipation of shooting it out with law enforcement, to go out in a suicide-by-cop. Changed his mind, I guess.

In few days we should have a better idea of what really happened.

Maybe, or at least the idea they want you to have. But the story evolved in such a convenient direction for the gun grabbers, I'm a bit skeptical.

Evil assault rifle, first reported not from the scene, as were the pistols, but from the FedGov in DC. First it was in the vehicle, then it was in the school and the primary weapon used.

How convenient.

Just right click and select "save image as", rename it to something you like, and you'll have it. But you might be able to find a higher resolution version of it somewhere

If just one teacher had been armed, this could have been dealt with.

Yep.
It's so easy to hide a little .32 Seecamp, or an S&W Ladysmith, in your pocket. Plus, there are holsters that can hide larger handguns under a suit jacket or even the small of the back.

Ideally, a couple of designated and properly trained teachers could simply open carry in the classroom. It would likely be a distraction at first, but the kids would get used to it and forget the gun is there after a couple of weeks. Once the initial... um, ...weirdness... of a couple of veteran teachers open-carrying sidearms became the norm at the school, can you imagine how much better the parents would feel about the safety of their children? The entire staff would also end up feeling an extra sense of relief.

Nah, he just wanted to pay homage to the memory of the late John Allen Muhammad.

I had no trouble finding it. A long time ago I bought some old Dynabit-Noble stuff, all worked fine, and more recently 500 rounds in bulk.

Of course today, you might have to wait a few months, and then it will probably be banned.

Most have been upgraded to be able to take the later 30 round magazines. Mine did not have the proper mag catch for that, until I put one in, a very simple process, with a part donated by my M1 Carbine collecting co-worker.

He had one legal M2 Carbine as well. Only full auto weapon I've ever fired. Hard to control a newbie like me.
