Who would have thought an area in which no one was left with the ability to defend themselves and others, known as a “gun free zone”, would make an easy target?
(CBS News) Law enforcement sources say Adam Lanza was motivated by violent video games and a strong desire to kill more people than another infamous mass murderer.
Sources say Lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with Anders Breivik, a Norwegian man who killed 77 people in July 2011.
Two officials who have been briefed on the Newtown, Conn., investigation say Lanza wanted to top Breivik’s death toll and targeted nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School because it was the “easiest target” with the “largest cluster of people.”
Evidence shows that his mind, sources say, Lanza was also likely acting out the fantasies of a video game as he killed 20 first graders and six adults at the school. For Lanza, the deaths apparently amounted to some kind of “score.”
He spent lots and lots and lots of time playing violent video games in a blacked out gaming area in the basement of his mother’s house. Of course, the ultimate blame lies with Lanza, not the makers of the games, though one has to wonder if Obama and Democrats will now call for some regulation of the industry.
Let’s take this with a grain of salt, since the report is not complete (as Lt. J. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police tells CBS after their report) and CBS uses un-named sources. But, it’s no big shock that a person who went crazy and idolized a mass murderer would choose a gun free zone to attack. Fortunately, Democrats in Colorado have a 10 point plan on how to deal with crazy people bent on violence (via Dana Loesch)
- Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.
- Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.
- Kick off your shoes if you have time and can’t run in them.
- Don’t take time to look back; just get away.
- If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.
- Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.
- Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.
- Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!
- Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.
- Remember, every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.
Those are the ideas the U of Colorado is giving women who are in danger of being raped/murdered/beaten. Remember, that university is a gun free zone. This is the real war on women, telling them to piss themselves to attempt to avoid violence on themselves instead of carrying a weapon. Oh, and #9, it’s probably the woman’s fault anyway.

Teach it was not a “gun free zone” Police of course could carry their weapons at that school. And at Uof Colorado it is not a gun free zone, police there carry weapons. Actaually the only totally gun free zones that I know about are like inside prisons where there is a fear that prisoners will take the guns away from the guards. 10% of all the police, who are trained, are killed with their own weapons. You believe taht every girl at a frat party, (and all the guys too) should be weaponized? Teach are your phone stores “gun free zones” do you allow, or suggest that your workers openly carry guns? or carry concealed? How would you handle firing a worker who was armed ?
10% of all police are killed with their own weapons? That seems a bit inaccurat, unless you’re saying that of apiece killed in the line of duty, 10% are killed with their own weapons. That means 90%of those are killed by other means.
I’d just like to know who the soothsayer is that read into this kids mind and figured he was trying to set a new high score? And I’m still at a loss with this while sorry…was every person shot by this kid killed? I’ve heard nothing of survivors. And why do they keep blaming the AR when they found the AR, unused in thetrunk of his car? I’m no conspiracy theorist, but this while story doesn’t wash. Watch the YouTube videos explaining the incongruity of the so-called facts. Somethings rotten in the state of Conn.
I believe that every adult who feels the need to go armed should be able to carry the arms they feel then need to return safely.
If this means a young lady attends a fraternity event with a can of pepper spray or a 9mm in her purse she is the one that makes the decision, not some feckless lick-spittle politician or academic.
Then again, being a woman hating conservative I bought my wife guns and training and I’m doing the same for my daughters.
Yes he wanted to out do his hero Anders Brevik the right wing nut who hated muslims and who now gives a Nazi salute every time he goes to court.
Anders Breivik attacked the pro-muslim invasion government and the up and coming islamonazi anti-white youth that just the day before were celebrating muslim jew hate.
Anders Breivik will be considered a hero within 20 years due to the continuing islamonazi invasion and eventual total violent jihad that will engulf Eurabia.
listen to a muslim that doesn’t hide the objective of all muslims

Yes it was john. The legal definition of a “gun free zone” is one that makes it illegal to carry a weapon in the area.
See above. Even so, it should be noted the University of Colorado security police are barred from carrying guns.
It is clear that you don’t understand the meaning of terms john.
It is a right of people to defend themselves john. Why are you so interested in preventing people from exercising their God given / natural rights? Why are you so interested in making more people victims and at the same time, making more law abiding citizens felons for protecting themselves?

Ok, let’s nip this in the bud. WHAT WERE THESE GAMES?
Please name these games. Let the gamers agree that these are “violent” games. TO classify every game he owned as “violent” seems a bit biased.
There are also many games that have been rated “violent” or “mature” but carry not true violent imagery like the recent CoD game. Does killing trolls and dragons equate to playing a drug-dealing rapist killing based on revenge? Don’t think so.
