The reason I mentioned Europe was that you said this was all the result of our godless society.
But now, after having read you new post I realize there is nothing we can do. Sorry kids you better arm yourselves, we can't protect you.

It seems Amanda that Conneticutt already has stingent gun control laws in place............and they didn't help did they????

The Associated Press reports Lanza brought three guns into the school: a  Glock pistol, a Sig Sauer pistol and Bushmaster rifle, which the New York Post  further reports was a semi-automatic “assault rifle” chambered for a .223  caliber round, matching casings found at the crime scene.

Lanza, therefore, if you count theft, murder and breaking and entering – since CBS New York now reports it likely Lanza broke into the school through a  window to circumvent a locked-door and intercom security system – would have  violated a half-dozen laws in his crime, including the following gun-control  statutes:

First, Connecticut law requires a person be over 21 to possess a handgun.  Lanza was 20.

Second, Connecticut requires a permit to carry a pistol on one’s person, a  permit Lanza did not have.

Third, it is unlawful in Connecticut to possess a firearm on public or  private elementary or secondary school property, a statute Lanza clearly  ignored.

Fourth, with details on the Bushmaster rifle still sketchy, it’s possible  Lanza may have violated a Connecticut law banning possession of “assault  weapons.”

Of course, these laws were violated because Lanza did not own any of the  firearms in question, but rather stole them, and he clearly had no regard for  the law in committing his crime.

Amanda, why would I know or even care what Europe does.  We have plenty of statistics right here in this country to go by and it is about Americans not Europeans.  We have enough of a mess in the United States right now for me to worry why another whole culture is different than ours........................  We do know that in this country, places like Chicago that have (and may not have much longer) laws that violate the second amendment, have a much higher crime rate and many more people getting killed.  My guess there would be the criminals really don't have to worry about how bold they are or what they try to do since they know just about everyone is unarmed and can't protect themselves.  Now, if you want to talk about Europe, I guess you will have to go find someone who doesn't think we have enough going on right here at home to worry about!

Europe is a lot less religious than our country, with fewer guns and more socialism, yet their gun deaths are a fraction of ours. How does that make sense?
