Nonsense. Questioning the popular take on a current event is nowhere close to what Westboro does. Nor does questioning a current event "dishonor the dead".

In addition to banning standard cap mags and semi-auto weapons I suppose we should make it unlawful to question current events?!

"Your Kid Died To Protect A Gay America."
"Your Kid Died To Initiate Gun Legislation."

Two different arguments from the same mentality. HH

Westboro ambushes funerals with picket signs that are designed to be inflammatory. No one has picketed the funerals of the children who died at Sandy Hook.

Your original claim was that questioning Sandy Hook was "far more offensive" than what Westboro does... your comparison above would seem to argue that questioning Sandy Hook is equal in offensiveness to what Westboro does. In fact - both claims are exaggerated, and plainly incorrect.

If I entertain conspiracy theories about the Benghazi attack, do I "dishonor" those that died there in that incident? Or do I honor them by showing an interest in discovering what really happened?

There are good law enforcement officers and there's bad I know this. I shoot with some cops at my local range and they are good guys so don't take this as a cop bashing post.

Do you have any trust in the officers that you shoot with at the range? And sorry if it is repetitive, but forgetting what you feel - trying to leave the emotions out of it, any idea how many are in on the cover up and how many officers there on the scene are not quick enough to figure out the cover up and how many if any did not actively participate in the cover up but know of it and are remaining silent?

When I first heard of this shooting it came out that the guy used two hand guns and a rife was pulled from the trunk of his car. Some time the next day I heard that a rifle was used. Later that day they said that there was a shotgun pulled from the trunk. Then some days later I read that there was four hand guns used and all were found on him in the school.

I have no idea what was used. I think every one is trying to spin it to help their interest. I also know that it was reported that there would be a gun ban long before this came down.

It is very sad that some fool killed all those children. It is even sadder that the people in charge are not willing to protect our children from more such attacks. All they want to do is blame the guns and take them from us in the name of what happened to the children. While knowing full well that taking the guns will make no deference. In other countries they put armed guards in schools to protect there children as we do our TV stars and other so called important people even our banks. We have no problem putting police in unruly schools.

May the children and god forgive us for not doing what it takes to protect the children.

I only trust the officers I shoot with because we have been friends our whole lives. I really don't have a lot of trust when it comes to police. I am not going to bash the police or post stories of things done by them I disagree with. I am just answering your question in a truthful manor. For the second question I don't know what to make of the CT shooting, I just have a feeling there's more then meets the eye and I have no idea who's involved. Maybe we will know the truth someday or maybe never but I hope those children weren't just pawns on a board.

[Bruce M]

As you trust them and have been friends with them for your whole life, perhaps you should ask them about the school shooting and whether or not they think there is a cover up?

Hell no, they were NOT originally pawns. They most definitely were placed on the playing board by the media and politicians including the President.

Yup...they will certainly use the anonymity of the internet to accuse grieving parents of being actors playing some script perpetrated by the gun grabbers.

Once again....LE only provided one version which never changed and was corroborated by the media's own footage taken that first evening.

The media simply reported mere speculation as fact since LE did not initially release any info for the first day and a half. They claimed the video the news helicopter shot was of an AR being removed from the car. Anyone with even the most basic knowledge of AR's can tell that is not what was removed and that it was instead the shotgun LE described. That shows from the beginning the news reports were off and they were later changed because they were not supported by fact, nothing to do with some grand coverup.

Funny a search of the Sandy Hills truther links shows a large amount of them being used on stormfront....the thread at that site is split about they same as here except the percentages are reversed.

People want someone to blame.

People want punishment for someone.

With Aurora, you have Holmes. He stands in for the murders who killed themselves, until Sandy Hook.

All of a sudden, with the one responsible for the horrific crime dead by his own hand, there's a need to blame someone, anyone so that punishment, the retribution for the crime, can be exacted.

Both sides place blame.

One side blames the rifle, the magazine, and the bullets for the murders.

The other side says the blame for the murders is on those who blame the rifle, the magazine, and the bullets. Somehow they conspired to kill the children.

Yep, both sound reasonable, don't they...

Except I don't fit into either of those.

Bad things happen to good people, and have since the beginning of time.

Facts speak more than opinion, my theory a whack job flipped and killed innocent people.. If he he had a Ruger 10/22 the same thing would have happened.

People want to lay lame to an object because to think that the person did it , and now cannot be punished is inconceivable.

The fact that crazy people do inexplicably crazy things without rhyme or reason (that we can understand) is just too much for some people to live with.

The reality that life is fleeting and anyone of us could be standing in a grocery store, mall, movie theater when one of these nuts opens up, and we have no control over it, is a reality they want to avoid facing
.
They think that, if they can find something or someone to blame (be it the gun or the conspirators) they can have more control over their own fate. They can keep themselves from being a victim.

We are seeing a whole, highly visible, segment of the population panicking and tying to change our basic rights because they can't deal with one nut having that much effect on individuals, so they irrationally blame the tool.

Another segment of the population cannot grasp that one crazed individual, through their actions, can effect the body politic and endanger our basic rights, so they blame a non-existent conspiracy.

Both are rationalizations to avoid unpleasant realities.

Or, to punish a surrogate associated with the tool.

Just a recent convo I had this week with a conservative, who owns no guns; who did not realize the ramifications of the proposed laws.
