The complicit media trumpets these sad stories with glee. It fulfills their boyfriend in the White House´s agenda. They are loathe to publish the occurrence of people defending themselves with weapons against criminals which occurs more frequently.

This story shows how misinformation is spread and, as a result, produces bad policy. From the story: "Lanza, who killed himself as police closed in on him, was armed with an AR-15 assault rifle." Lanza did NOT use an AR-15 which is hardly an "assault rifle" in any case. "As NBC admits in the video above, four handguns were used to carry out that despicable atrocity." http://www.ijreview.com/2013/01/30208-nbc-admits-no-assault-rifle-used-in-newtown-shooting/ This, of course, does not lessen the horror or the Newtown tragedy but is, once again, evidence of how the MSM misrepresents facts, possibly due to its own political agenda.

What is behind this rash of craziness?

But isn´t it conveniently timed for Obama?

This incident is probably yet another hoax perpetrated by Zippy, the Muslim brotherhood and the MSM to take away our guns...and it´s not the first time. Evidence shows that the Newtown shootings were staged in Hollywood using actors and extras culled from the MSM, and directed by ODrama himself. It´s all a ruse to disarm Christians and place them into "Reassignment" camps in Western Arizona.

I wonder if my firearms collection was ´stolen´ while I was on vacation?

It would be pretty convenient to have that happen, until I had to shoot an intruder...

Note that AP did not report on the 15 year old who used an assault rifle to save himself and his 12-year old sister from intruders. http://www.khou.com/news/crime/Burglary-suspect-shot-by-15-year-old-son-of-deputy-97430719.html

Harry Reed will open his speech with a, "Enough is enough! Take ´em away!"

The leftists have turned semiautomatic rifles into lifelike objects, just the way they did with evil SUVs.
And the media include these rifles even when they have not been used.
Nice.

Apparently #5 forgot to turn the sarcasm off. I don´t believe a lot of things I hear in the media, and Obama´s exploitation of a tragedy is despicable, but real people buried their real children in Newtown. Anyone spouting the insane theory that it was all staged should be ashamed.

Perhaps all teenage boys should be confiscated. /s

Whatever you believe or want to believe that happened in Newtown...the questions are still there. Nobody is doubting that children were killed. The question is: ultimately by whom and by what motivation. Why, for example, was there printed online a call for contributions in memory of the Sandy Hook school children - two days BEFORE the shootings? That´s just ONE of the things that lead level-headed Americans to be suspicious of their government. In an age when you cannot trust the media or the government - don´t trust the media or the government.

No. 10, thank you for calling out No. 5. No. 5, if you really believe what you wrote, do some more research because that´s a pretty weird and paranoid thing to say.

No. 11, there´s a part of me that laughs and agrees with you! From the age of 13 to 20 is a dangerous time for boys - even the "normal" ones! But it´s during that age range where their emotions can reach overblown proportions.

We know nothing about this latest family tragedy - lets wait and see. But parents with guns and without them, remember your own teenage years and treat your kids with love and respect and reason.

If only drive-bys and other urban shootings got this much coverage.

In Stockton, California the local cable access channel shows posters offering rewards for information pertaining to unsolved murders every day. Some of these killings have been unsolved for years. No one wants to "snitch", you know.

Funny that none of the gun grabbers are concerned with this kind of crime. Perhaps it´s because they know it won´t stop when they confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens.

Whoever owned the guns should have had them locked up. They should share some of the responsibility.

I wonder where #12 got that story? First I heard of it.

You folks sure do have a lot of faith in your government and their media...

I believe that because the media makes stars of the perps of these crimes and also stars of people who committ suicide, we will have more and more of these types of incidents. I believe the media is to blame.

Another tragic story on gun violence by a young man. The body count in Chicago last year was great than that of the Afghan body count.

#11, Sandusky already tried that.

#4 - this isn´t a "rash" of these - it´s that the media chooses to overhype them.
As I understand it, there were some 15+ shootings in Chicago over the weekend.
Let me know if you seen any national news reporting it, though. (Bearing in mind that Chicago had 500 murders via guns in 2012).

On that same day, 79,999,999 responsible US gun owners did NOT HARM ANYONE!

This perpetrator must have illegally possessed the firearm that he used illegally to murder those people. There are already laws against 15 year old boys purchasing or possessing firearms like they claim he used.

Can usually count on Asinine Propagandists to twist their reporting and draw connections between incidents where they don´t naturally exist, in order pursuit of global Socialism.

F M L.

in *their pursuit of global Socialism.

(d´oh)

How many young people on the brink with mental issues have acted because of the recent media coverage ?

Kids don´t develope insanity overnight. There are warning signals.

One of the aerial picture captions is "house of guns." Good grief, when I lived next door in west Texas, a house that size would always have at least 5 guns.

#6, you could sell your guns to John Galt. If you needed one to fend off an intruder John would surely return one.

Probably another kid who was raised on Ritalin in school. Most of these mass murderers have a history of mind altering drugs or are on them. The guns probably belonged to the father. It´s NM we´re talking about. I would guess most homes in that area have guns.

With all the illegal aliens flooding across the border, who wouldn´t have guns in NM?

At least the geography challenged LoFo´s will confuse NEW Mexico with drug cartel violence ravaged Mexico and this story will barely penetrate their consciousness. Especially as the family is Spanish surnamed. "HoHum looks like them Messkins are killin´ one ´nuther agin, Martha."
