It's quite possible that the official narrative was "massaged" after the fact to fit the anti-gun agenda of this administration and collectivist sympathies of all the left wingers in CT. After something like the tragedy in Sandy Hook, the sheople need to be thrown some red meat, they want a pound of flesh, and saying that it was an "assault weapon" and then enacting legislation to ban this sort of thing makes the uniformed feel better and the politicians at the top consolidate power and authority. In the end, we all lose our freedom.

You ad hominem attacks straight out of the Liberal Playbook are such a fresh approach to this issue. It will be sad to see ya go. Liberal Playbook; Step 1; Blame Bush whether he was previously mentioned or supported at all. Since Obama's re-election this has been modified to "your man lost, get over it." Step 2; Blame the wealthy, the richest 1% and those who just don't want to "pay their fair share." In other words, you should love being forced to surrender your labor for the benefit of those liberals deem needy. Step 3; Compare everything anyone else says to a Marxist Utopia that's never ever been created. Ex. "Who'll build the roads, what about parents who don't care or who'll pay for those who can't afford it?" Step 4; Liberals love to make accusations or cite facts with no support whatsoever, then, they will discredit EVERY fact or accusation their opponent makes for not providing support while offering no proof otherwise themselves. Step 5; When all else fails, liberals love the ad hominem attack. "Racist," "selfish" or "greedy" are favorites along with you get all your information from "faux news," "living in caves" and "tin foil hats." You will seldom see any other liberal arguments that aren't a variation of the above few statements, EVER! http://swamp-ass.forumotion.net/t2065-liberal-playbook-exposed#2414

For your analogy to work, you have to assume that cars, like guns, are used for the same purpose, which of course they are not. You do not have a special set of laws on the books for people who used their cars as instruments to kill people. Yet we do for guns. If guns and cars were the same, you would expect both. Your argument assumes ACCIDENTAL use of a firearm and I agree that there should be rules to avoid such situations. If you take an NRA course, you will learn such rules. You have every incentive to apply these rules to avoid harm to others, especially family members. Basic criminal laws on the books already prohibit careless use of a firearm. While there are about 300 cases of accidental discharge per year, the vast, vast majority of times firearms are used intentionally for the purpose for which they were made.

I suppose you believe Ronald Reagan called the USSR the "evil empire" - a phrase cast as out of touch and provocative by the Left- because he held hidden sympathies for it?
The point you're missing Bill, is that Fascists and (Corporate) Socialists DO control the economy. They control governments and have military might backing them up every step of the way. How else could one tenth of one percent (.001) of the world's population come to control 81% of the world's wealth? Please don't be naive enough to think they played fair and square... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Global_Distribution_of_Wealth_v3.jpg/220px-Global_Distribution_of_Wealth_v3.jpg
"Imaginary bogeymen you think are coming to steal tour guns?" I heard the President of the United States repeatedly say on national TV thank he wants to take my guns. I heard many CT officeholders say on the Valentine's Day nitwits' march in Hartford that they want to take my guns. I guess my imagination is similar to Emily's.
