Asserts the conservative Republican commentator in Michigan about Friday's tragedy: "In a nation where there are over 50 million legal gun owners, there
is no clear reason how the outbursts of violence by mentally unstable
individuals whose weapon of choice is a gun, can be used as a rationale
to curtail constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights. The two
are not even logically synonymous. Gun control laws that are not strict enough did not fail these
families who are undergoing this very grievous period of mourning for
their dead loved ones. What may have failed, even though speculative, is
whatever social service system that did not intervene or pay attention
to domestic issues that were occurring inside the home of the dead
shooter."
He adds: "The answers to what motivated Adam Lanza, to head into the school
where his mother taught and into the very room where she was a teacher
and open fire on precious little kids, shows anger that was perhaps
motivated by revenge, or some other deep unsettling motive. But a gun
control law is not the culprit in this tragic scenario. How much tighter should the state of Connecticut’s laws be, if the weapons were purportedly registered to the shooter’s [law-abiding] mother?"
More: "People of faith can and should draw the line in the sand and stand up
for a nation that does not allow murderers to get a free pass for their
behavior by blaming heinous actions on a gun. Instead examine the
failed social system which disarms children of their access to prayer in
the schools, and practice of biblical respect and other behavioral
principles which guided America’s founders."
