Lowering the flag is tradition in the country when something tragic happens, nothing new, and I can't see how that is detrimental anyway. Nothing can help those kids. As for guns being legal, it is probably a good thing that they are. Whether they are legal or not people will get a hold of them, and if they are illegal the people a hold of them will be murderers.

Are you from quebec? Because this isn't the first time I've heard someone from quebec go on a pseudo-lunatic rant on how communist and idoitic america is.

Right to bear arms was made back in a time period that a single man couldn't conceal a handgun and use it to kill over 20 people without being caught or stopped.

To our founding fathers the ideal of a pocket sized weapon capable of rapidly firing accurate shots without needing to reload often, that didnt jam, backfire, or require any complex or slow reloading...
It's the equivalent of what a ironman suit that doesnt fly would be to us.

Now please tell me, why you would need a high powered, rapid fire, concealable gun, for protecting your house in the united states?


As for rebelling against a corrupt government, the army has helicopters, bombers, jets, tanks, assault gear, And missiles, does that mean every community is entitled to having all of that available?

If you are in a situation, where you need to defend yourself against over 10 armed hostiles, all attacking in rapid succession, you have probably already broken a law to get into that mess.

We have destroyed almost all of the habitat and population of any American mammal that would pose a threat to us, so yea, you probably don't need that kinda firepower anyway, as if even a grizzly bear would taken over 5 shots anyway.

Police are regulated on what they can use, you let citizens use guns police can't even use, citizens don't even need a personality test and training and such to get a gun, let alone one you can use to kill so many people in a row without being stopped.

the 2nd amendment is controversial in so many ways

I actually live 20 min from here. The principal who was killed (Dawn Hochsprung) was actually the vice principal of the middle school I went too (in danbury ct, not this school) when I was a kid, my grandmother worked in the school system and was Mrs. Hochsprung's personal secretary. I attended the school from 6th-8th grade at the time and was an "office helper" for her and she was an awesome lady, couldnt have met someone who loved her job and cared about the kids more than she did, she will be sadly missed along with the others victims killed & the 20 children she so proudly served. words cannot describe the horror that happened today. Very sad news, it sickens me to no end and hits me very close to home. Simply tragic

You have to be a real asshole to make a president cry.

he has watched video feeds of high priority missions and seen men die most likely, never cried then, he probably felt very sad, but i have to say, that was a bit dirty to do the acting and giving those crocodile tears for effect.

Very ignorant post Higbey...His crying was "acting" seriously?
He has 2 young girls of his own, he feels strongly about public education, and is very empathetic towards teachers. Plus hearing about kindergarten kids getting murdered is very different than military missions where casualties are expected.

its harder to get a hold of guns when they are illegal idiot.


and no im not from quebec

Romney is a REPUBLICAN and is AGAINST gun control.
You are literally the most stupid and ignorant idiot on this forum and you prove it every time you post. I almost feel dumb myself in even replying to you.

Yes it is, my point is that normal law abiding citizens won't get them and only the people who will use them for more malicious use will. Same thing with everything else, take the 1920's as an example, alcohol is made illegal>BOOM crime rates jump. And seeing how little of an idea you have of America's government this isn't the place for you to call people "idiot".

ftfy

the truth for example

u guys argue about stupid things, get a life people.

._. canadians....

Seriously? Video games play a huge factor in these types of situations?
