Proofless premise. The Sandy Hook killer did not get the weapon at a shopping center. Or centre.

News item;
"The East Winsdor gun store which sourced at least one of the guns used in the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was raided by federal firearms agents last night.

Officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) swooped on Riverside Gun Sales at 5pm yesterday evening, as officers from East Police Department cordoned off the plaza.

What our compassionate president didn't tell us is how many of the shootings "reportedly" were by "assault weapons," which issue is the basis for his endeavors.

ps. Simple solution to cut down on the massacre of six year olds is take away the gun shops - you don't need them in a civilised society.

I guess what you are suggesting is that in America every Christian is walking around with a sword strapped to his waist????

Instead of encouraging people to arm themselves with M16's and kalashnikovs from the local arsenal why not remember the Biblical teaching ....

As the morals of the western world become more and more removed from society then this particular American problem of gun mentality will become even more dificult to police and justify.

The American solution observed on todays media is apparently to increase guns in the community, which will have a deadly effect upon people of all ages. The next Sandy Hook incident is pending, certain and sustained by the so called "right to bear arms."

A society who allows the people placed in charge of the protection of those children to be unarmed is culpable for the evil of not protecting them

Millions of schools all over the world do not have gun toting teachers to protect the children in their care. Your arguement is seen to be flawed by the experience of your own schools and schools of other nations.

Do something realistic to stop this regular American carnage, do something realistic to protect the children. Clearly as a "Christian" you do not trust God to protect your children perhaps you need to think this through.

Criminals don't slaughter 20 six year olds in a school.
