Right.That is just not true and you know it. People with good hearts don't want this to happen again. People like you only care that someone might take your toys away. You couldn't care less about these poor children or doing anything to stop it from happening again.
"People like him" don't slaughter elementary school children, I'm willing to bet, so this claim is a pathetic emotional appeal that has no logical sway whatsoever.
I spent over an hour with Veronique; she talked me through her experience on December 14 and the days that followed. Her story was filled with moving and harrowing details: her dream of wandering an abandoned building calling out for Noah, her meeting with President Obama at a vigil at the local high school and her decision to get a tattoo of angel wings and Noah’s name the day after his death. The details that stuck with me the most — and the details which I felt most conflicted about putting in print — were Veronique’s descriptions of the damage to her son’s body. He was shot 11 times; she told me that his jaw and his left hand were mostly gone.
Oh dear. That is so gruesome and terrible that we must outlaw guns.
Seriously, you are doing EXACTLY what the previous post accused you of doing, which is trying to capitalize politically on a heinous and tragic crime.
Veronique told me that Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy visited her in the funeral home, and she brought him to see Noah’s open casket. I asked her why it was important for her and for the governor to see Noah’s body. “I needed it to have a face for him,” she said. “If there is ever a piece of legislation that comes across his desk, I needed it to be real for him.”
Then, unprompted by me, Veronique described what she saw: “We all saw how beautiful he was. He had thick, shiny hair, beautiful long eyelashes that rested on his cheeks. He looked like he was sleeping. But the reality of it was under the cloth he had covering his mouth there was no mouth left. His jaw was blown away. I just want people to know the ugliness of it so we don’t talk about it abstractly, like these little angels just went to heaven. No. They were butchered. They were brutalized. And that is what haunts me at night.”
What sickens me most about this continuous appeal to pity is that I feel dead inside thinking about impact of the death of a young child on his parent(s). And so to be using it for a political argument makes me feel all the more sick inside. It's really disgusting. I implore you to stop and think for a moment before you keep broadcasting this shit.
And all you can do is whine about your gun rights. You're pathetic.
No, what's pathetic is to capitalize on gruesome and tragic acts like you've just done. Have some fucking respect for Christ's sake.
And we do not have WAY more gun deaths in this country than any other industrialized nation??
And in all of those other industrialized nations, the government is coming to take their guns away??
And it is fine with you that these deaths occur, over and over and over, as long as you get to play with your assault rifle?
And if the majority of americans do not agree with you, then you do not believe in democracy???
And you believe that you are smart, because you think that IQ is scored the same as golf??
