Btw DMers, DMers everywhere!

TS is talking about 'several children', but I just read there were 27 childrens killed at the school..
-
Jeez... What's wrong with people!
-
updated: 27 killed in total, 18 of which are children. This is 4 year olds to about 8 year olds.
Something is clearly very wrong with this. Fuking people.
-
Well less little brothers to hack....
As for the incident, another case of idiots getting their hands on weapons too easily.

Exactly my view.
You know what, whoever the killer is, set him free, just catch him and let him walk away. And the time he has a kid, take him away from him, and let the world watch him cry and weep. Would set a perfect example for others of his kind.

Who has the hearth to do this? What is wrong with people..

Unconfirmed reports says 1 shooter, is now dead. Not sure if suicide or lethal force by Police. However, they found another gun so the FBI / ATF are looking for other evidences that could lead to another shooter being involved.

People think its the end of the world, they want to do things before they die.

Exactly what happens when things aren't regulated correctly.

A law enforcement official says the attacker in the U.S. school shooting is a 20-year-old man with ties to the Connecticut school.
The official said that a gun used in the attacks is a .223-caliber rifle. The official also said that New Jersey state police are searching a location in that state in connection with the shooting.

That's one hefty piece of equipment, what amazes me is how does a 20 year old get hold of such a gun?

Generally underground criminal/black markets. State laws also vary from state to state, so he might have gotten it from a state with lower purchasing laws.
As for the body count, it appears to be 18 children, 8 adults killed now, which is a total of 26, although other sources have said 27 or 28 also.
What amazes me is that there was JUST another shooting 1-2 days ago in Oregon, and a few days ago was the local hostage situation/standoff down the street from me. It's not getting safe out here anymore. I'm actually strongly considering getting a self-defense weapon now.

Thats just shocking... Who shoots in a school especially at this time of the year. :mad:

This is sick, what the f**k is wrong with people.
"More than two dozen people, mostly elementary school children, were shot and killed at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school this morning, federal and state sources tell ABC News... It's unclear how many people have been shot, but 27 people, mostly children are dead, multiple federal and state sources tell ABC News. That number could rise, officials said... It is the worst shooting in a U.S. elementary school in recent memory and exceeds the carnage at 1999 Coumbine High School shooting in which 13 died and 24 were injured."

Never hurts to have one. I've carried a weapon way before it was even legal for me to. Ever since I got my license. Always have either the .40 or the .38 in the glovebox.

Well, I'm trained to use them. I've actually considered it for a long time because of this, but now I feel it may be time to get pretty serious about it.
As for the death toll, it's just been confirmed that the shooter killed one of his parents in New Jersey, although unsure which one, prior to going to the school where the larger shooting occurred.
-

I'm inclined to think that it's nutters who believe the world will end on the 21st or whatever. Maybe I'm just being optimistic though.
It's not getting safe out here anymore. I'm actually strongly considering getting a self-defense weapon now.
If I moved to the US then one of the first things I would do is purchase a self-defense weapon and educate myself in its correct operation and maintenance.
I would do the same here if guns (for self-defense purposes) were legal.

Wow, just saw Obama speak about the event. He was tearing and nearly crying. Never seen that before.
Still here, the ATF is tracking down the firearm to determine if it was a legally owned, or illegally owned. Regardless gun control is an issue and really, needs to be solved. 18 kids (at least) who have done nothing wrong to anyone, shouldn't have been the victim of a sick bastard.
Also during his speech, he did hint at attempting to reach a "solution" to "prevent this from happening again" and "regardless of politics". Which hopefully hints to something being done.
-

I was speechless when I saw that. It is so incredibly rare to see a President cry. I don't think anyone could watch this without shedding at least one tear...

Thumbs up for this.

That video is getting hits nearly every second, not to mention posts updating constantly.
-
The mom of the killer also worked there, (kindergarden teacher) he also killed her.
-
as a parent myself, I can not understand how parents of the children they killed, can survive on in life, for something like this, my thoughts are with those who are affected, and let some higher power, Help Them to move on, and as obama said i will hug my kids abit harder tonight and tell them how much i love them...

Two more children just died at the hospital, and another adult was found dead close to the school...
Edit: FBI Crisis Management expected to show up tomorrow to assist.

Here's a letter from one of the kids that got shot. The writing at the top of the letter is Hungarian. It's fucking sad, family went abroad and now have to deal with the fact that their own kid got killed in a school, where they should be safe...

I won't deny it. Watching some of the people who are affected speak, I my self couldn't hold myself back. As i heard one say "If we can keep our kids safe in a school, where are we safe". This is a troubling thing, and this has actually drastically changed my personal views on gun control.

Give a man a gun... :poke:
Now do you guys see why it might be a bad idea? Countless other situations the same as this in recent years.

I think he means it reminded him of that incident. At first I was a bit confused by what he meant too.

We'll never know. He's dead too.
-
This is just horrible. Situations like these just seem to be happening over and over, at an alarmingly increasing rate as of late.
-
This is a sick world.
-
There is always something different about the death of a child. The thought of their bright futures being taken from them so forcibly is both saddening and infuriating.
May they rest in peace.

These are not the fault of any games. These are the fault of mentally ill people not getting the needed medical help and attention they deserve, as well as a failure in the system from preventing them from accessing things that they are unable to safely handle, such as lethal weapons.
Games don't create these fanatics. If anything, the downfall of society and the lack of respect for fellow human beings is the cause of that. Criminals will often use games as a scapegoat for their actions...but the truth is that any right-minded individual could easily play these games and know the difference between the imaginary game world and real life. If they can't, then they deserve mental assistance and care, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

That is the main thing. And the system should be thoroughly revised to ensure such access is limited for anyone but those who have been screened to handle them. It is not something that will change fast, as the amount of weapons available is huge, and not many will be willing to give them up.
But the false safety that causes such dramas to be repeated over and over again should change.

Right so you're going to blame Obamacare for the shootings? Try the relaxed gun laws. :poke:

Sorry to disappoint, but there were already pictures of someone named "Adam" and "Ryan" with similar texts. These may be either fake or from prev events.

Gun laws are truely tricky. Right to firearms are part of the bill of rights. It is really really really hard to amend the bill of rights, and impossible to remove them. You, nor the government can infringe the bill of rights. Its truly a failure in the system, when it was written it was fine as these incidents didn't happen. However, in this new age its pretty much im possible.
Also, gun laws wouldn't have stopped this. He wasn't able to get these weapons legally, CT has one of the strictest gun laws in the United States. He took the weapons from his mother, who had them for a "legitimate" purpose. Now, I only see 2 legitimate purposes to own a gun, I live in New Hampshire and love hunting season. I don't want to have to wait 6 years to get approved to go hunting. The other purpose I feel is legitimate is leisure and game. So at a shooting range pretty much, however if you do this I think they should remain locked at the range in a personal locker. For hunting, the weapons should be locked in safe away from mentally disabled/thieves/children. Personal Defense? Bullshit reason. Also, Semi Automatic weapons? No reason or need to have these, outrageous.

Part of the bill of rights? Oh right so the UK, France, Germany, so on are also very free countries in the world, we should all be allowed to have a shotgun under our pillows.. The relaxed fire arms laws in America arnt needed, it's just America trying to hold onto a tradition they've had since the British Empire left, a tradition which is causing more problems than benefits.

What does Obamacare have anything to do with this? I never said it was a specific healthcare plan. This is a worldwide issue. How many countries can you name which provide free, decent healthcare to the mentally sick and unstable? Now how many countries exist in the world? Exactly my point.
-
Well I just heard something interesting on CNN, apparently his mother was found in her house, the guns he had were licensed to her and she was only a "part-time" teacher there.
Still no idea why he would go to the school and cause all of this...
Apart from that, why were the weapons not locked up somewhere inaccessible to people other than his mother.
-

England & Wales with the NHS... oh wait you said decent. :D

Agreed. We also don't want to get into a political discussion, so we should probably get back to the original topic itself.
As for the incident, police have been hinting at knowing more information regarding why he went on the rampage, however they have yet to release any details. Other "anonymous" sources have also claimed that there was no letter of intent left behind, which is commonly done in these situations prior to happening.
-
Adam actually attempted to legally purchase a rifle last week but were denied..
This blame for the attack should lie on his mother as well for failure to lock the firearms up.

Perfect exampe of the US gun laws, I hope the groverment does something before the next massacre happends honestly.
In my opinion, weapon laws should be as they are in Norway.

There have been reports that he had a run-in with officers earlier this week which may have led to this in some way..
-
The names of the victims have been released. All the children killed were confirmed to have multiple gunshot wounds. Most of them were first-graders.

Looks like someone play many mature games

I am still disgusted, it's not like they had ever done anything to him, most of them had probably never even seen him before.
Senseless killing.

"Victoria Soto, who turned 27 this month, taught next door to the room where the heaviest shooting broke out. She gathered her students and hid them, possibly in a bathroom or a classroom closet. The gunman then entered her room looking for more people to kill, a source tells the newspaper. "But seeing no one but Soto, he shot her, then left the room."

My guns are locked in a electronic safe, with ammo in containers, locked as well in a separate smaller safe from the rifle.
Your statement is entirely false. Just your clueless view on something you know nothing about, sorry to sound like an ass. But you don't live here, you see stories like this and assume everyone with a gun walks around with it like its a casual thing to do. I can name dozens who have weapons locked. I know my grandfather doesn't even store his ammo in the same house, he keeps it at his hunting cabin.

Although I'm not sure who threatened who in that situation, that wasn't the reason why I told others to stop discussing it previous to that. Political discussions aren't allowed in here regardless, as per the rules. Players need to understand that. That was the only reason why Gandalf allowed this board to continue existing after the old one was removed. :P

This news post is tied to political discussion and is inevitably inseparable from it. Truth is that the system in place allowed this to happen, through being exploited by those who wish to cause harm.
Trying to purge this topic of any political discussion would be like talking about a first grader slashing other students in his class with a knife while avoiding the discussion of how he got the knife in the first place.

That teacher is a hero.. Did shatter my heart ;/

The system that allowed this to happen was also written over a hundred years ago and other systems written to prevent this system from being entirely removed by any one at any time. 60% of Americans want stricter gun laws, yet every time its mentioned the politicians who are elected to represent our vote crawl up into a corner and do nothing. Why? Because its sensitive to their career, one side they loose people and in another they loose people. The straight fact is we can make the laws sticiter, but removing firearms all together would require nearly the impossible, an overthrowing of the United States current democracy and disbandment of the United States Constitution. While, the Constitution does actually support both overthrowing of the democracy, and removal of its own law.... is it really better? Can you even begin to imagine how much worse off we would be as a nation? No, we'd get bent over on a silver platter by those elected to rewrite and reform the democracy, and they would strip many of our birth freedoms from us without question or debate. That I am sure of, and that is just something nobody, nor any American citizen or anyone in the world is ready to see.
Its easy to say the problem is gun control, so solution is to ban fire arms. You also need to keep in mind, we have over 100 years of no ban on weapons. The amount of illegal firearms in circulation is estimated to be higher than the amount of weapons legally owned in some areas. Sure, containment of the legally owned weapons that violate the new laws instated would be a easy task for some agencies to track and secure. But that thousands and thousands of black market weapons, which are the leading issues in most cases... the ones who couldn't get the weapons legally. How does one assemble a team to track down weapons that have fallen off the radar, you can't simply do. It would take decades to secure this amount of weapons and by then what has changed? Nothing. Sure you can say have police crack down, again we live in a country where we can store a gun in a locked drawer and police can not make you open that drawer unless they have a warrant or are without a doubt sure you have something hidden in that drawer (reasonable doubt). This again, a protection against search and seizure is part of the bill of rights.
The nations capital once tried to ban handguns in DC. This ended with dozens of angry residents and a strongly reactive Supreme Court, claiming a violation of the citizens second amendment right, the right to keep and bear arms. Trust me, many people do want this change. But those selected to make these changes for us aren't doing them. Removing weapons entirely isn't the solution. We need laws in place that can ensure only responsible, right minded, and reasoning adults can purchase firearms. We need laws in place that control, where weapons should be stored (in locked safes etc) and how (ammo separate/ no in chamber) and prevent issues from happening like this. We need laws that can address the concerns of the scary numbers of weapons circulating the black markets around the United States and even imported from around the world. It can be done, and can reduce these incidents dramatically but sadly, and truthfully will never entirely prevent anything like this. If people have the desire to do harm and create mass panic, there is nothing a troubled man or women won't try to accomplish this. Bombs can be made in matter of a day using common household items are we going to ban duct tape? These "simple" bombs can be deadly in crowds, while it isn't as easy as taking a semi-automatic weapon with a 30 round clip and just firing into a group of people. Its effective in its own way, and far more dangerous. What about more than simple bombs, a quick Google search a trip to radio shack (US Electronic store), $50 dollar budget, some access to again household materials and you've got a bomb you don't even need to be around for when it goes off. Does this really leave us in a better place?
The other issue is our mental health care, something I'm not really as sure regarding laws so I can't really get into this without some research to validate some of the things I've heard on the television recently. But I've heard many times we do have a flawed system to (forcefully) get treatment to those who truly need it.

Perfect exampe of the US gun laws, I hope the groverment does something before the next massacre happends honestly.
In my opinion, weapon laws should be as they are in Norway.
Perfect example of weapon laws not working in Norway is Breivik
Another perfect example of uselessness of weapon laws in America: Yearrrrrrme! - Ross Kemp New Orleans Gangsters! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvO73fHiY1g#ws)

I won't deny to say, seeing the ages of these kids really brings tears to my eyes. 16 of them, only 6 years old. I can't even bring words to mind.

I don't even understand how a grown adult can aim a gun, a semi-automatic rifle, at children like this and have the mind set to pull the trigger multiple times. I can't even begin to think how this is possible, I can't understand why.

There's no excuse for what has been done, nor are there any possible valid reasons for this to have been done.

My aunt lives in Connecticut, may her son be safe.

While they're on the right track of explaining, this is just acted out.

Its easy to say the problem is gun control, so solution is to ban fire arms.
It's not a problem. Second amendment allows the everyone to have guns, as a result you have these shootings. This is logical, and this is normal.
Taking into account your laws, it's not a surprise that kids get shot. Everyone has a gun, so what did you expect, really?

There are state and federal laws you are missing.

I know there are, but we do not come here to discuss every detail; that would be a waste of time.
