14 December 2012, for some as yet unknown, or more typically unbelievable, reason someone, or more than one person, entered an elementary school in Connecticut and began killing as many people as possible. At this writing 26 children and adults have been found dead.
As I watched the U.S. main stream broadcast news media, it was so obvious that many of the reporters were implying, and even demanding more gun control. One CBS reporter actually suggested bringing back the Assault Weapons Ban.
But from reports I heard from an interviewee on NBC, the shooter didn’t use assault weapons, the interviewee said the guy was armed with hand guns, aka pistolas (Spanish for pistols).
Other reports said the guy had “high powered” guns, with multiple magazines. These comments are vague, to a lot of anti-gun activists a .22 caliber long rifle is “high powered”. Multiple magazines could simply mean having more than one six round magazine for your old fashioned Colt 1911 .45 caliber pistol.
But did you know another school attack took place the day before the Connecticut attack?
In China’s Henan Province a man attacked a primary school, with a knife! At least 22 children were wounded as was one 85 year old woman. Most of them were stabbed in the head! Police arrested the man, and said he was known to be mentally ill, however locals said they never saw the guy before.
China has really strict gun control laws, but they obviously didn’t stop a “deranged” man from attacking a school. China has been experiencing a steady increase in such attacks, and they are referred to as “…social revenge attacks by frustrated people marginalized by China’s rapid development in recent years, the attackers mainly targeted school children to make maximum impact.”-ZeeNews
Maybe China needs knife control laws?
In both cases. If someone at both schools was armed, with a gun, both of these attacks would have been stopped right away. There are plenty of cases where a person who goes berserk is stopped cold by a potential victim who is armed!
The U.S. media coverage of the latest school shooting just proves the U.S. main stream media is against our Constitutional Rights!
