Seems that the shooter was only using the two pistols (which he possessed illegally) in the attack and had left the .223 in his car.

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

Just a humble guess...but I don’t think he ever fired a gun in his life. And the .223 might have been a bit too complicated for him.

At the end of this mess...you will find that he was on meds. Recently, he probably switched meds, and he just wasn’t reacting right.

The shooting is too horrible to describe. One nagging question I have is something I heard on talk radio after Columbine. Why do these things happen after UN anti gun actions?

The answer is simple. CT gun laws made it possible for all these precious children to be murdered because no one at the school had a gun to protect them. The symbol for schools in such states should be the sitting duck, because it is obvious that gun control laws leave public places defenseless.

the second amendment makes possession of guns legal...

the act of killing innocent children is the criminal act.

i do not question his carrying the weapons, or the body armor, but his intent was evil.

if he knew that there were any number of armed people at that school, he would not have attempted such a heinous act.

my prayers are with those who lost the world in the taking of their children... they are with the Lord this day and the troubled young man shall be receiving his due.

Yup, even early reports were saying the AR15 was in the car, but that will be the first thing Obama trys to ban.

All the guns belonged to his Mother.

How many magazines did he carry? He must have stopped to reload several times. So along with the mystery of why his mother owned a Glock and a Sig and left them unsecured around whacko boy, add the mystery of spare mags.

On a related note — we need to launch the Combat Custodian movement. Every school has at least one custodian on duty at all times. And if the oh-so-progressive teachers and administrators are horrified at the thought of firepower inside the school, then I’ll bet the custodian wouldn’t be quite so squeamish.

You know this just brought this to mind. When I was in grammar school the old janitor carried an old Owlhead 38 pistol, we used to take new kids to the boiler room to get him to show it to them. We promised not to tell anyone and here it is 50 yrs later and I think this is the first time I have told anyone!

Would the old man have shot anyone over the kids? Dang right he would!

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.

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.
