Every time a massacre such as the one that happened today in Newtown, Connecticut occurs, responsible gun owners (and I include myself in this) cringe with disgust. Because each time they do occur, the same people start politicizing the tragedy for their own agendas and begin anew their knee-jerk attacks on gun owners and the National Rifle Association. It's happening again. They say, "it is time to have a conversation about guns." The "conversation" they always have in mind is the stripping of our constitutional rights through "gun control." No, thank you.
Evil will do what it sets out to do, no matter what means is used to perpetrate the evil deed. If it isn't guns, it is knives (such an occurrence happened today in China where 22 children were slashed at a school). If it isn't knives, they will use something else (bombs, Molotov cocktails, etc.).
People are being desensitized by violent Hollywood movies, games, sensational news stories and vile public discourse. (Only a few days ago, Michigan Democrat politician Doug Geiss declared, "There will be blood!" over the state's new right-to-work law. And, Teamsters Union President James Hoffa threatened "civil war" over the same issue.) This needs to change. Unhinged people pick up on this stuff and sometimes act on it.
This was indeed a tragedy and my prayers go out to the people who lost a family member or friend today.

According to this headline posted at the Drudge Report:
Ryan Lanza, 24, brother of gunman Adam Lanza, 20, tells authorities that his younger brother is autistic, or has Asperger syndrome and a “personality disorder.” Neighbors described the younger man to ABC as “odd” and displaying characteristics associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
