Emily Miller has a good editoral up at the Washington Times today…
Saturday marks the first anniversary of one of the saddest days in American history. A homicidal maniac, xxxxxxxxxx, shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 young children and six teachers.
While the families of the victims and the Newtown, Conn., community have asked the media to stay away during the memorial, gun-control activists are shamelessly using Dec. 14 to push their own agenda.
Read the whole thing HERE.
As I’m sure others have and will allude to, the lefties/gun banners CONTINUE to dance in the blood of the children killed at Sandy Hook, Va. Tech, Aurora, Columbine, etc. NONE of them want to address the real issues, which are mental health and reporting that properly to allow these people to be blocked via NICS.
Thank you to Ms. Miller for putting this in perspective…
My heart goes out to those families, I know they will never completely heal. But at the same time I’m angry at those who would use their grief for their own ends… The families deserve the private time to grieve and try to gather up their lives…
I agree.
Leftists have been told to use this day to harp on the massive need for gun control. Stats don’t prove out this so-called massive needs, as gun crime has been going down and crimes involving so-called “assault weapons” consist of roughly 1% of totals gun crimes.

Expecting restraint by the gun grabbers is like expecting starving piranhas to ignore blodd in the water.
All- Thanks for the comments.

Long on emotion, short on logic, facts, and compassion. What else is new?
Tim- As usual… emotion trumps EVERYTHING according to them…
All the background checks in the world won’t stop insane people from behaving insanely. Nor will all the editorials & gun-grabbers stop crime.
I had a more pity comment when beginning this comment, but after three interruptions from the wife, I have no idea what it was going to be.
I agree
Don’t forget Obama, who had a bunch of candles set up by his White House servants so that he and Michelle could light them in front of cameras while trying to look thoughtful and sad enough to get the right photo out to the world before they trotted off to do something else. They didn’t just dance in the blood of those kids–they showered in it.
Rev/Rick- Yep
Murph- Too true… and it was ‘quiet’ except for the hundreds of camera clicks…
I had a post drafted to commemorate the anniversary, but after thinking about the wishes of the family and the behavior of the other side, I let it go. There isn’t anything more I can say about this that I didn’t say a year ago, and one more Internet post about it does nothing for the families.
