It is in suburban CT.....Dear Gov. Christie, is today a good day to talk about gun control? If not, when? {nm} mrbinns Dec 14, 09:16

Thanks . . . just what I wanted to read...politicizing a tragedy. websch01ar Dec 14, 11:41

Sorry....I just am continually responding to Gov. Christie's statement on July 23...Guns do not kill people, bullets do. BUT all of these mrbinns Dec 14, 12:09

Hey, websch01ar. Ever wonder why gun control works in Canada, UK and Germany. Outlaws there too. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 14, 12:36

Let's see how gun control is working in Canada... RazorHawk Dec 14, 19:09

Hmmm ... let's see, my city of 1 million has 120 murders year (and that's an avg yr) - see how much worse it is without gun control {nm} JDolphin Dec 14, 21:02

Canada doesn't really have strict gun control - at least not like the UK does. And the rate of gun homicides is still 1/4 of the US rate. {nm} RogerMore Dec 15, 08:43

populations: 331.59mill (US) vs 34.48mill (Canada) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 15, 16:34

It's a per capita rate. 2.98 per 100,000 Americans, 0.76 per 100,000 Canadians RogerMore Dec 15, 16:48

2.98 US is from the years 2008-2010 (multiple years) while the 0.76 Canada rate you provided is from 1992 (20 years ago) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 15, 17:44

You're right - there's more recent data for Canada from 2006 that has an even lower rate of 0.6 per 100,000 Canadians. RogerMore Dec 15, 18:44

They're reporting 12 dead. Geez. {nm} eyescovered Dec 14, 09:40

Correction. Now 27 (14 of them children). {nm} eyescovered Dec 14, 09:42

Where are you reading this? CNN says 2 dead (both adults) {nm} BSmurf Dec 14, 09:50

I was on Reuters (link in message). The numbers are all over the place. No one seems to know. An entire class is still unaccounted for. eyescovered Dec 14, 09:56

Yeah - I've read multiple sources and no one agrees on anything. This happened 3 hours ago and still no one on the scene has info?! BSmurf Dec 14, 09:58

I work for a school district so it's something that's always in the back of your mind. You never know. {nm} eyescovered Dec 14, 10:03

2 Days ago. It was Oregon Mall Shooting!!! {nm} mike255 Dec 14, 10:05

This is Worst Than Columbine School Shooting!!! {nm} mike255 Dec 14, 10:08

USA Solution - More Guns Needed. HUFFPOST Update - 27 dead including 18 children. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 14, 11:27

Many civilized countries do not have this many gun deaths in one year. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 14, 11:28

When will a politician finally tell a gun lobbyist: Thanks for all your money, but there is NOTHING I can do for you today. I feel helpless. goodvibe61 Dec 14, 13:44

Copycats. Here's one way to help stop it: BSmurf Dec 14, 14:02

Look 2 posts above, China has strict gun control, and the maniac used a knife. What we need to do is castrate these people so their genes elchan Dec 14, 14:15

Who decides who gets castrated after that? You're just opening the door to a reign of tyranny. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 15, 01:46

How about the whole male line at and 1 level after his. Then the family will keep people like that in check, before they get postal. {nm} elchan Dec 15, 12:07
