AFTER NEWTOWN, A WASTED YEAR

[Geee]

American Spectator:

From now on, whenever liberals demand support for gun control because — as they always say — it’s to protect our children, the only proper response is to laugh out loud.

 

We’re now a year after the Newtown, Connecticut elementary school massacre in which twenty children were killed as well as six school staff members. Nothing has been done to prevent a recurrence. Our children and grandchildren are as vulnerable as they were a year ago.

 

That’s not because the liberals haven’t forced more gun controls into law.

 

It’s because — as I wrote three days after Newtown — that the states have made it almost impossible to involuntarily commit the dangerous mentally ill and because we’ve not taken the obvious steps to make schools more hardened targets.

 

The facts are plain, simple, and horrific. In every case of massacres at schools or in public venues -- Columbine, Virginia Tech, the Aurora, Colorado movie theater and so many other horrific crimes like them — the perpetrators in every case were mentally ill and a danger to society. Most were known to be before they committed the mass murders.

Was there ever a different response?
