Conn. Failed To Pass Mental Health Bill

Quote from jem:

I feel it when I see it the dads talking about their kids.
And there is something compelling about watching a tragedy.
But when I can't fix it... I soon turn it off.
Why depress yourself if you can't use the emotion to make changes.

Emotion is a feeling. Change is an action.

So changes for those kids and their parents - no. Maybe a prayer is all you can do.

Change in how you appreciate your own loved ones - maybe. There are parents of children who survived that appreciate what they have more acutely now.

Interesting... thanks.
 
Quote from pspr:

Other than set up more protections at schools there isn't much that can be done. They won't get an assault weapons ban passed unless the House should go Democratic in two years. Besides, it seems he used pistols and left the AR-15 in the car.

I've stopped watching the news coverage, too. It's gone way past overload. It's time for the news to move on to something less disturbing.

Seems like they concluded it was a shotgun in the car.

Authorities recovered a large quantity of unused ammunition at the school[52] along with three semi-automatic firearms next to Adam Lanza: a .223 caliber Bushmaster XM-15 rifle,[53] a 10mm Glock handgun,[4] and a 9mm SIG Sauer handgun.[3][54][55][56] A shotgun was found in the car Lanza drove to the school.[4] At home, Lanza "had access"[56] to three more firearms: a .45 Henry repeating rifle, a .30 Enfield rifle, and a .22 Marlin rifle. On December 16, police say Lanza used the rifle against most of the victims.[59] According to the medical examiner, all victims were shot with the same "long weapon" and were hit multiple times.

Lanza shot all victims multiple times, and he shot at least one victim 11 times.
The gunman's mother was found dead in her pajamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a .22-caliber rifle.
