The mother of a 6-year-old child killed in the 2012 Newtown, Conn., school shootings comes to Seattle to speak to volunteers working for I-594, the measure to expand gun-purchase background checks.

Shocking to say the least. Shocking only in that it took them until the week before the elections to get her there. I guess the parents of the Marysville incident are still too distraught to bring them on board yet. Sorry for the two young ladies that were killed in the incident.

[PROCON]

Shocking indeed.

I-594 in no way would have prevented the Marysville tragedy, just more gun-grabber scare tactics.

Your dead kid doesn’t trump my self defense rights. In fact your dead kid might not be dead if the teachers had self defense rights.

Yeah, I totally said that.

A useless gesture is required to show we are opposed to school shootings.

[Gaffer]

And so I guess that she paid her own way out there. Wonder if the ticket was first-class. Wondering what hotel she’s staying at and what limo met her at the airport.

OK, and had a law similar to I-594 been in place in Connecticut, how would it have saved your child?

People have ALWAYS killed each other. Guns are just another tool for that. Cain "attacked" his brother and killed him.

Poison, stabbing, clubbing, burning, lynching, pay-for-murder, car, mother-in-law, beating, drowning, arrows, starvation and death-by-Samurai to name just a few.

[Shimmer1]

And I totally agree with you.

Nicole-

It’s not my fault your baby was killed.

A victim of the Seattle Jewish Federation shootings has joined I-594, blaming the gun, not the Jihadi who shot her.

Gun registration. Go to Hell!

Lets pass laws that in no way would have prevented the last tragedy. But we can pat each other’s backs for ‘doing something’.

“Universal” background checks. This woman should be asked how that would have prevented the Newtown shootings, where crazy Adam Lanza killed his mother and stole her lawfully purchased firearms?

[Pollster1]

I am sorry that she lost a child, but that in no way gives her a free pass to trample my God-given rights. “Shall not be infringed” means exactly what it says so unambiguously.

How many places such as police stations where occupants are armed do these wacked out twerps fo to shoot people? NONE, they may be mentally ill but they know to go to places where nobody is armed.

FBI 2012 crime statistics for murder/homicide New Town CT.
ZERO!

It seems I can’t cut and paste the link from the FBI report.

Google first paragraph without ZERO.Takes you right to the FBI source.

Weird huh? Is there some special classification for that event? I didn’t see an asterisk or anything in the table for that.
