HUnters are cowards. Lets face it. They need to feel big by wearing gillie suits, odor block, satalite tracking, animal baiting, assault weapons and more. Yes they are weak cowards.

I bet if the killer had been a person of color, the Gun Laws would have changed in a New York Minute, My heart goes out to these people. I just hope something good come out of this Called Gun Control....The hell with the NRA

It breaks my heart to see that someone would have the ice cold heart to do such a thing. My prayers go out to family and friends of the victims.
I wish we knew why the young man felt he had to do that , I'm sure god has passed his judgement on him and he is paying for such a horribly evil sin.

I don't know what to say and what to do and what to do to ease these parents and families of this massacre, what was on this gun man mind. He had the devil in him (it had to be the devil) why would he want to kill these innocent children that didn't do nothing to him. Why did his mother have all these guns for? I don't understand why his mother kept all these guns in her house for, if she had for protection she only would need 1 or maybe 2 and nothing more. She kept all these type of guns to go to war with not for nothing else. It makes me sadden for what this EVIL young man did to all these innocent kids and their teachers, they are truly the angels they did to protect their students and kids lives they died protecting them, I know there is nothing I can say to ease their pains they are feeling right now but may GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES lives and they need to have medal protector and and guards posted in ALL I SAY ALL SCHOOLS don't think it can't happen in other school because it can happen in any school ?

I first like to say to the families, that I am so deeply sadden and that I am grieving and feeling so,so, pain just like if it was me going through the same thing. I want to say to all of you, that you can get through this rough and tough times. I know how special these kids was to you and your other family members. They brought a joy to your lives and they did not do anything for someone to kill them the way that MONSTER did? they was in school learning to be somebody when they would of gotten grown. And there is nothing for me to say, what can I do or say to make you feel better I just don't know what,but for one thing they were all of GOD ANGLES AND NOW THEY ARE WITH HIM

I believe that everyone who wants to buy a gun should have to have a mental evaluation,and if there are children in the home the guns should be locked up where they can not get to them.No matter what we do there is going to be killings.There are steps we can take to help slow the killings.Even if you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns.There is no reason for anyone who have children in the home,not to have a lock on the gun.My heart goes out to all the people that have lost love ones to violence.

This is a terrible tragedy.....But lets face it Lanza's mother is to blame...She kept guns with easy access to a retarded son..The firearms should have been kept under lock and key.......failed parent!

With that being said......How about background checks on people like his mother before they bring morons into this world.....

That is complete and utter BS.My grandfathers were hunters,my dad is and me and my brother are and they didnt teach us that and we dont teach our children to kill without remorse.We do however teach about guns,we teach you dont point a gun at people and you sure the hell dont use it to kill people.

And on another note I am a gun owner and I believe in the right to bear arms if you do it responsibly.But I do believe there needs to be gun control,and yes of course criminals and killers will always find a way to get guns to kill but this kid got his mothers guns,ASSAULT GUNS.There is NO person in this world that needs to own guns like that,NOONE PERIOD!!
