I want them to do what they do during every mass shooting I have ever seen. They ALWAYS scream for more guns, less restrictions and more access.
JUST LIKE ALWAYS. Why are they quiet this time?
Interesting question. Keep in mind the NRA is a lobby supporting gun manufacturers, gun shops, licensed gun sellers, other gun sellers and gun huggers. It supporters unregulated capitalism which puts the laissez faire principle over an above the life of any six or seven your old in America.
They're amoral, the deaths of others is not on their radar, only profit matters to them. Hence, keeping quiet is in their best interests. Were they to speak they would risk defending the right to bear arms v. the deaths of children; an argument they cannot win over the anger of reasonable and responsible citizens.

It wasn't the NRA that failed to provide functional security that might have kept these kids alive. I would rather hear an explaination of why "zero tolerance" has been such an abysmal failure.
The NRA doesn't need to say anything.Too many anti-gun people are too obviously and gleefully using the bodies of these dead children to further the political agenda that failed to protect them in first place.
There are 270 million guns in the hands of about 65 million private gun owners. The responsible safety minded gun owners are in the tens of millions. The criminals and mentally ill who have obtained guns, through illegal means, amount to a few thousand. The killing of children is always a tragedy. Had he thought it through, he could have killed more by making napalm (easy to make), blocking exits and tossing them through windows. If a person wants to kill people there better ways to do it for a higher body count and we have no way to stop him/her. You could easily rig up a ten gallon propane tank and wipe out half the school. The issue remains, not the gun, but the individual.
The gun owner in this case, should have known better to have guns on the property with an unstable individual living there. The failure was the fault of the parent. She is to blame, as is the ACLU, who forced the government to release unstable people from institutions.

So, we have to all carry in all situations and environments. Constantly look over our shoulders and be ready to quick draw and have a shoot out in any environment. That is the society you and the NRA envision for us.
I want no part of that society. You and the other crazies go to Somolia or some place that is already like that.
We are going to have some sane gun laws now. We are going to control who has assault weopons, and the sale of those weopons.
Far better than just giving up and giving in.
Dick's Sporting Goods has just announced they will not sell assault weapons in any of their stores. Good for them.
Meanwhile, the NRA and most Rs are still silent. Not a word of sympathy. That's understandable because they don't dare tell the truth - that money, bribes, kickbacks is a lot more important than the lives lost every single day. Dead children just don't measure up to the money they make.
Boehner is about to speak and he had better include at least the pretense of caring about those children.
