Read the Connecticut State's Attorney's Crime Report on the Sandy Hook
Massacre

The document offers insight into the history of the gunman and a
timeline of the police response to the school.

So?

Does it offer any insight to the useless, knee-jerk responses of
politicians?

The Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks believe the government
must institute gun control which will ultimately lead to the
confiscation of privately owned firearms by government agents pointing
guns at the citizenry. The tragic murder of the children and teachers at
the Sandy Hook school was done by a young man who was mentally ill. We
don't need gun control, we need crazy people control. Unfortunately, we
would wind up with mental institutions filled with Liberals and
Leftists. ^_^

That's probably why they don't mention it, unless its to falsely
accuse Ronald Reagan of "turning crazy people out into the streets."

But then, that just inflated Democrat voter turnout, so it wasn't such
a bad thing for them, either.

Why aren't we reading about the Washington Navy Yard Shooting? Is it
because no children were shot? Is it because the shooter legally
acquired the weapon, using Democrat-approved procedures? Was it
because he didn't use any "killer clips" or "assault rifles?" Was it
because he was driving a Prius? Because he was a registered Democrat?
Because if Obama had a son he would look like Aaron Alexis?

Expect more mass shootings at schools, shopping malls and office parks
near you. Preaching blind hatred and ignorant fear, while teaching that
violence and guns are the only answer, is a potent recipe for making
such disasters.

The most important paragraph in the whole thing is

" It is known that the shooter had significant mental health issues that
affected his ability to live a normal life and to interact with others,
even those to whom he should have been close. As an adult he did not
recognize or help himself deal with those issues. What contribution this
made to the shootings, if any, is unknown as those mental health
professionals who saw him did not see anything that would have predicted
his future behavior. He had a familiarity with and access to firearms
and ammunition and an obsession with mass murders, in particular the
April 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. Investigators
however, have not discovered any evidence that the shooter voiced or
gave any indication to others that he intended to commit such a crime
himself. "


In other words, We don't have a clue why he did what he did. And there
were no outward signs that he would do this...

You mean that like most Americans, the faculty and students didn't want
to be surrounded by gun nuts, so they declared gun possession on campus
against the law. The problem is that there are irrational people among
us, and Cho Seung-Hui represented his group by killing 32 people and
wounding 17 others on April 16, 2007, at Virginia Polytechnic.

Mental illness among the killers is no surprise, ranging from paranoid
schizophrenia to suicidal depression. But while some states have
improved their sharing of mental health records with federal
authorities, millions of records reportedly are still missing from the
FBI's database for criminal background checks.

Are you, Gunneria Arschloch, suggesting that to be safe in America,
everyone should have to carry a weapon at all times?

Law enforcement officials are the first to say that civilians should not
be allowed to obtain particularly lethal weaponry, such as the AR-15
assault rifle and ultra-high-capacity, drum-style magazine . . .
The expiration of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban under President George
W. Bush in 2004 has not helped that cause: Seven killers since then have
wielded assault weapons in mass shootings.

In the meantime, the gun violence in malls and schools and religious
venues continues apace. As a superintendent told his community in
suburban Cleveland this February, after a shooter at Chardon High School
snuffed out the lives of three students and injured three others, "We're
not just any old place, Chardon. This is every place. As you've seen in
the past, this can happen anywhere."

As more guns are privately owned, mass shootings increase, and their
death tolls get higher.

Yes, liberals would like fewer guns circulating in society.

Yes, thanks to liberals, the law abiding citizens were disarmed when Adam
Lanza illegally brought a gun. Thanks to liberal, children and faculty were
shot and killed. Thanks to liberals the school was set up to be a target
range and death camp for the law abiding victims that the liberals disarmed.
So what is the liberals response? Blame the NRA.

Who, but a liberal, could be so stupid to think a person that wants to kill
teachers and children is going to obey a sign or a law?

So liberals would like fewer guns, but thanks to liberals being morons,
there are more guns in the hands of inexperienced first time gun owners that
could be on a power trip ready to try out their new toy.

Proof liberals are stupid:
Liberals would like fewer guns but the actions of liberals cause more guns
and ammo to be circulating.

Liberals want ObamaCare so more people would have health insurance. But
thanks to ObamaCare and stupid liberals, something like 100 people have lost
their health insurance for every one that's been able to sign up for
ObamaCare. More people have seen the legendary Big Foot than have been able
to sign up for ObamaCare.

Republicans wanted to delay ObamaCare, they said it wasn't ready. It would
have been the perfect excuse for Obama to delay it and blame Republicans.
But, being a liberal, he's too stupid and instead uses a government shutdown
to get his idiots to blame it on Republicans. So then they reach a deal and
guess what? The Republicans were right, ObamaCare wasn't ready and Obama's
now delaying another part of ObamaCare, his liberal Democrat signature
legislation.

There is no doubt about it, with all the evidence Obama has given you about
how stupid you have to be to be a liberal, you have no excuse, if you're
still a liberal after all the demonstrated failure, you're just plain
incurably stupid.

Blame Bush, Blame NRA, Blame Republicans, Blame Tea Party for the failure of
Liberal's policy. They told you that your ideas wouldn't work, and when
they don't, you blame those that warned you. Why didn't liberals just
listen to reason in the first place? A. Because they are too stupid!

NRA told you that criminals would bring guns where guns are illegal.
Republicans AND Democrats told you ObamaCare was bad legislation. You
didn't believe them, instead you believed Obama when he said you could keep
your policy if you liked it, you believe Obama doesn't know anything about
the scandal after scandal since his administration has been in power.

If there isn't a list, there should be. If you liberals aren't on the list,
you should be. If there won't be a "Great Cull" there needs to be. That's
the only thing that will save this country from the stupid failure that
liberals have brought us to, blaming others all the way.

Time to play the race card again?

Let's see, so the liberals think a person that is sick enough to kill
children in a school and then take their life is going to obey a "gun free
zone"? And then when they don't, just like the NRA has been saying for
decades, the liberals blame the NRA? You dumbfuck libtards blame NRA for
the Sandy Hook kill zone that YOU LIBTARDS set up to be safe for lunatics to
kill children and teachers at will. You dumbfuck libtards disarmed law
abiding citizens so that liberal dumbfucks can take a gun and have a killing
spree. Then, like your kind always do, you blame others for what you've
caused.

You idiots think the government should control healthcare when they are too
incompetent to even get a working website, and had to hire contractors(more
jobs sent out of the country) to even get a website that doesn't work. It
is brains surgery and you liberals are too stupid to be qualified to operate

Adam Lanza did NOT buy a gun legally or illegally. He killed his mother
and took her guns she had legally bought and her car and took them to
school.

Logic isn't something Liberals excel at....


Liberals think they can rationalize what crazy people do, but the crazy
people are irrational.

Why would someone violate a law when they are about to kill someone ?


Only Liberals will tell you they wouldn't break any gun laws because
that would be bad.... but killing someone, that's OK.



I guess the Liberal stand on life should have shed light on that Liberal

So what has that to do with the increase in mass shootings ?

Why Are Mass Shootings Increasing Even While Gun Violence is
Decreasing?

http://www.policymic.com/articles/64057/why-are-mass-shootings-increasing-even-while-gun-violence-is-decreasing

This is only part of the picture.

In the context of the decline in gun violence, the hysteria-inducing,
horrifying type that occurred on Monday appears to be on the rise. The
definition of the term "mass shooting" has been contested as some use
the term "rampage" or "spree" killing, while others exclude
family-related incidents.

A mass shooting is when a shooter has indiscriminately fired on
individuals in an isolated building or public area. These have become
all too common.

Of the 12 deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, seven have taken
place since 2007, according to counts made by the Washington Post. At
this rate, this decade is becoming one of the deadliest in history.

The massacre in the Washington Navy Yard on Monday that resulted in
the death of 13 people, including shooter Aaron Alexis, was another
tragic incident in a long list of similar attacks. It has been called
the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. since the tragic incident
Sandy Hook Elementary School last December.

And yet, despite recent high-profile cases of mass, indiscriminate
murder at gunpoint, instances of gun violence have actually shown a
dramatic decline. While horrific, violent mass shootings have been
covered extensively by the media, broader instances of gun violence
have gone down by a whopping 49% since a peak in 1993.

This is only part of the picture. In the context of the decline in gun
violence, the hysteria-inducing, horrifying type that occurred on
Monday appears to be on the rise. The definition of the term "mass
shooting" has been contested as some use the term "rampage" or "spree"
killing, while others exclude family-related incidents. A mass
shooting is when a shooter has indiscriminately fired on individuals
in an isolated building or public area. These have become all too
common. Of the 12 deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, seven have
taken place since 2007, according to counts made by the Washington
Post. At this rate, this decade is becoming one of the deadliest in
history.

A series of infographics published in the Boston Globe illustrates
just how widespread mass shootings have become in the country in
recent years. Often perpetrated by young and middle-aged men, many of
whom have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have some sort of
mental health issue, mass shooters have indiscriminately killed
approximately 214 innocent people in America since 2007.

Locations of Mass Shootings in the U.S. since 1998

(via Boston Globe)

(via Boston Globe)

Mass shootings are nothing new in America. In 1949, more than 50 years
ago, shooter Howard Unruh indiscriminately killed 13 people (including
three children) in the streets of Camden, N.J. in an incident known as
the "Walk of Death."

Mass shootings are also not unique to the United States. Horrific,
bloody killings like these have tainted modern global history. A
Norwegian killer topped the list when he posed as a police man and
massacred more than 80 people at a youth camp in July 2011, which is
the biggest mass shooting episode in modern history to date. When the
U.S. mourned the loss of 13 innocent victims in the November 2009 Fort
Hood shooting, mass shootings also occurred at a German school and in
the British countryside.

Adding Monday's horrific episode at Washington D.C.'s Navy Yard to the
list indicates that these instances have been particularly bloody, and
frequent, in America since 2007.

(via Mother Jones)

The hope is that recent mass shootings are isolated, tragic acts that
do not portent broader trends in America. A particularly bloody few
years resulting from indiscriminate gun attacks may not necessarily
indicate an overall rise in such incidences. In fact, a sharp decline
occurred since the bloody attack in Columbine High School that killed
12.

But the recent figures are not good. 2012 was a particularly
devastating year, marked by shootings sprees in Newtown, Conn.,
Aurora, Colo., among others. Monday's shooting at the Navy Yard adds
to a list of tragic cases that have already killed dozens this year.
2013 is poised to be yet another chart-topping year.

He did not take her guns.

The guns were kept in his room and his mother forbidden entry.

Newtown Report Renews Focus on Role of Lanza's Mom

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/newtown-report-renews-focus-role-lanzas-mom-21020780

As Adam Lanza withdrew from the world into his bedroom, the only
person he appeared to be close to was his mother, who cooked his
favorite meals, did his laundry daily � and bonded with him over
shooting and guns.

Investigators' final report on last year's school massacre in Newtown
provided new insights into Nancy Lanza's home life with her troubled
adult son and renewed the debate over whether she bears any
responsibility for the bloodbath that began with her shooting death.

"I think that we will always be bewildered by someone who did express
her concern for her son, why she sought to have him engage with
firearms," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday. "Not even those folks
who oppose reasonable gun safety legislation would argue that it was a
good idea to have someone who was evidencing this kind of disturbance
have possession of the kinds of weapons that he had possession of."

Adam Lanza's fascination with violence was apparent to teachers and
other acquaintances, investigators said in their report. He collected
materials on mass killings and kept a spreadsheet ranking of mass
murders.

But his mother wasn't allowed to enter his bedroom, according to the
report, and it was unclear how much she knew about his obsession.



http://articles.courant.com/2013-03-29/news/hc-newtown-search-warrants-20130327-1_1_adam-lanza-nancy-lanza-gun-range

A gun safe, where some weapons were stored, was in Adam Lanza's
bedroom, a warrant indicates.

Investigators found a gun safe open and with no indication that it had
been broken into. In one warrant, there is also a reference to a gun
safe in Lanza's bedroom,

Adam Lanza did NOT buy a gun legally or illegally. He killed his mother
and took her guns she had legally bought and her car and took them to
school.

Yet they can protest to get anything else they want like banning

limiting speech by Conservative speakers. But they couldn't protest a

Not only are guns NOT banned but there has never been a mass shooting

colleges that would provoke such a violent act? Obviously I don't do
it on my property where there have been ZERO shootings.


Is it that they have coaches or others that shower with these young men
and boys?

They all seem to be young men, men who are being taught modern
Liberalism by an increasingly Liberal-Socialist government controlled
system of education....

Don't you care about the folks getting killed with firearms unless they
are in a mass shooting? Is it because most of those victims are white,
you racist bastard? See, I can throw insults around just like a liberal

Now, you are simply repeating the same incorrect information.
Why hope? Why not do something about it? Something that has a chance to
work..... Address state medical privacy laws.....HPAA....how mental
illness is handled....improve how people can be admitted for observation,

The Republican Party has worked hard to stereotype Democratic opposition
to hard-right pseudo-Christian fundamentalist fanaticism as being
directed against ordinary faithful Christians, which they are not, and
the Republicans actually believe that the US Constitution's guarantees
don't apply to everyone, especially those who are different than them or
who they suspect might vote for Democrats.

Yep, but they were *her* guns as she was the purchaser of them. Ergo, my
statement above is correct. He took her car and her guns to school.

He did kill his mother and they were her guns. She may have bought them
to assist in bonding with Adam but the fact remains, she bought the guns,
he didn't.

Hopefully, the mental health section of the Affordable Health Care with
be enacted, allowing more people with mental problems to receive
treatment. Since most of these mass shootings seem to stem from mental
problems, this may reduce the magnitude of of this national plague.

That is your right, however most Americans don't agree with you, and the
main reason more gun restriction legislation hasn't been passed is
because of the arms manufacturers, and their dupes at the NRA pour money
into election campaigns.

A majority of the American people don't want gun-nuts walking around
with loaded guns.

<http://www.gallup.com/poll/1645/guns.aspx>
Guns - Gallup Historical Trends

If you were in a public place such as a restaurant or movie theater,
would you feel more safe -- or less safe -- if you knew concealed
firearms were allowed?

More safe Less safe No difference No opinion
2004 Nov 19-21
25% 65 8 2

A poll of registered voters conducted in April 2010 found that 57% feel
less safe when they learn that loaded concealed guns may lawfully be
carried in public. Fifty-six percent of registered voters oppose
allowing people to carry concealed guns in public, with 41% strongly
opposing concealed carry.2

A slight majority of Americans (52%) oppose laws that authorize the
carrying of concealed weapons.3

Another poll found that nearly 52% of Americans favor authorizing the
carrying of concealed weapons only for persons who demonstrate a special
need to carry a concealed weapon.4

A 1999 NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll found that 73% of Americans
disapprove of making it easier for people to legally carry concealed
weapons.5

Americans are more likely to feel less safe rather than more safe if
more people in their community acquire firearms. A study6 reviewing
surveys on public attitudes toward guns in the U.S. found:

? In a 1996 survey, that 59% of respondents would feel less safe as
more people in their community began to carry guns;

? In a 1999 survey, that an overwhelming majority said "No" in
response to questions regarding whether average citizens should be
allowed to bring their guns into restaurants (88%), college campuses
(94%), sports stadiums (94%), bars (93%), hospitals (91%), or government
buildings (92%).

Doesn't the majority have the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness without a gun filled environment?

In a word, NO. Fortunately, our core rights aren't dependent upon what
others happen to think or feel about our exercise of them. I'm sure
most Americans don't approve of the Klan holding public rallies, either,
even it it is unquestionably their right to do so.

Personally, I feel less safe, due not only to the violently criminally
inclined and dangerously mentally ill people out there, but also because
of all the people with only minimal firearms training, poor personal
judgment, and questionable psychological stability carrying guns out
there these days. In other words, I'm just as worried about running
into another George Zimmerman type as I am about running into the sort
of person he mistook Trayvon Martin for.

Armed civilians attempting to intervene are actually more likely to
increase the bloodshed, says Hargarten, "given that civilian shooters
are less likely to hit their targets than police in these
circumstances." A chaotic scene in August at the Empire State Building
put this starkly into perspective when New York City police officers
trained in counterterrorism confronted a gunman and wounded nine
innocent bystanders in the process.

How do law enforcement authorities view armed civilians getting
involved? One week after the slaughter at the Dark Knight screening in
July, the city of Houston--hardly a hotbed of gun control--released a new
Department of Homeland Security-funded video instructing the public on
how to react to such events. The six-minute production foremost advises
running away or otherwise hiding, and suggests fighting back only as a
last resort. It makes no mention of civilians using firearms.

20 Deadliest Gun States


Personally, I believe that our oligarchs encourage social polarization
through racism, red-baiting, abortion, and the toy like affection that
gun-nuts have for their weapons. As long as we are intent on these
issues, little things like legislation to give investment banks, fossil
fuel producers, and arms makers more tax dollars, while reducing
personal wealth and freedoms for the middle and lower classes, and
concentrating the selection of politicians into the hands of the rich.
Polarizing the public is a trick that has been used many times by the
CIA to destabilize foreign countries.

For more, see the movie below, "The Shock Doctrine".

Agreed. And I'm a gun owner. I just don't like the idea of a bunch
of untrained gunnuts running around carrying weapons. More guns mean
more people getting shot, not less.

And, just how well that gun-free zone worked out? Just about as well as
all the leftist gun-free zone massacres. Just pass a law that makes it

He didn't have to take any guns from his mother he already had
them in his room.

Interestingly, those arms manufacturers don't vote....just their

Probably 95% of those have no or little idea of how people are cleared

I'd strongly prefer my "old, obsolete technology" over any other of the
several pistols I own or any I could buy, if I were forced to use a
handgun in defense of life. Only its size and weight prevents it from
being among my everyday carry pistols. John Moses Browning was a genius.

I was awarded an opportunity to attend and recently completed the
Tactical Combat Casualty Care course, which was taught by Special
Forces, Pararescue,and Green Beret combat medics, and related types, all
with significant recent experience. It seems to be a widely common
preference, especially since military rules prevent the use of expanding
ammunition that partially offsets the somewhat mediocre terminal
performance of issue hardball 9mm.

Many of them appreciate us. The ones who do not are usually police
chiefs or other political appointees.

For example, there are areas where I live that 911 response is measured
in hours if not days. Sheriff's deputies will tell you to get a couple
of good firearms and practice, practice, practice.

Of course....that is common sense. In situational handling of those

I agree but Dudu doesn't. He was in here for a couple of weeks whining
about them. He kinda quieted down when the names of over ten or twelve
current manufactuers of 1911s and clones were produced.

I know about of the people that I know who carry, carry 1911s or clones.
I am not one of them, but then I am mostly a wheelman.

Not in dispute.

That he didn't kill his mother to steal her guns, as many have
suggested, is the point being clarified here.

I listen to or watch Fox News almost every day, and I rather like Shep
Smith. But MSNBC is likewise almost entirely out of the actual news
business these days as well, and I consider CNN to be less partisan, but
also rather mediocre, as a news source.

It seems that most of the murderers and mass murderers these days who
have a clearly identifiable political basis for their crimes are
right-wingers of one type or another, although most of them are just
plain homicidally crazy.

Mistook Trayvon for?

Seems as though a court of law cleared Zimmerman of any wrong
doing..which would indicate that they believed as Zimmerman did..that
Trayvon was indeed a violent attacker who needed to be shot in that
circumstance.

You and RD both seemed to have missed that part in your mutual attacks
on Conservatives

Odd that there are little or no reports of legally armed citizens
going fuggazi..isnt it?

Funny that, if you both are correct. Which the data will show..you
are not.

Perhaps these conservatives were mistaken about the other guy(s) as
well?

Anybody who knows anything about firearms technology including the
vast majority of military and police units worldwide have adopted the
DA/SA 9mm. If someone desires more energy then the 10mm/.40 cal is
where they upgrade to. The SA only single stack 1911 has gone the
way of the SA revolver and is mostly used now by the nostaligic and

"The two biggest reasons we carry the .45 pistol," said Marine Maj.
Tracy Tafolla, "is a single-action loader is a little faster for the
Marines to use when conducting close-quarters battle."
"We get faster, stronger and more accurate shots that we just wouldn't
get with a double-action pistol," said Tafolla, head of the Special
Missions branch, III3rd Marine Expeditionary Force Special Operations
Training Group. That means Marines can get off a first round faster,
smoother and more accurately.

No, the jury said no such thing. They rendered no judgment on Martin at
all. They said simply that Zimmerman acted in self defense. That's
*all* they said.

Thanks for posting another great example of ignorant partisan nonsense.
Plenty of phony right-wing bullshit claims have been posted here
repeatedly, but that proves nothing to the non-gullible and non-true
believers in the Regressive mythos. Now, feel free to cite your list of
supposed left winger murderers and mass murderers who have a "clearly

as necessary.
----
[O]n July 18, 1984 James Oliver Huberty, who told his wife he hated
�children, Mexicans and the United States� opened fire inside the
McDonald�s Restaurant in San Ysidro, CA using a Browning P-35 Hi-Power
9mm pistol, Winchester 1200 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, and an Israeli
Military Industries 9mm Carbine (Uzi) � all legally acquired. He killed
21 and injured 19 before he was shot dead by police.

On Aug. 10, 1999 White supremacist Buford O. Furrow, Jr., fired 70
rounds with an Uzi-type submachine-gun inside the lobby of the Jewish
Community Center in Granada Hills, CA wounding three children, a teenage
counselor and an office worker. He then carjacked a woman�s Toyota at
gunpoint, dumped it behind a motel and murdered US Postal Worker Joseph
Santos with a Glock 9mm handgun.

On July 27, 2008 Former U.S. Army private, Jim David Atkinsson, who
hated Democrats, liberals, African Americans and homosexuals, using a
Remington Model 48 12-gauge shotgun, murdered two people and injured
seven others inside the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church
in Knoxville, TN.

The day after Obama�s inauguration, white supremacist Keith Luke went on
a killing spree in Brockton, Massachusetts. His goal was to kill as many
Jews, blacks and Hispanics as possible. When questioned by
investigators, the deranged gunman who had stockpiled hundreds of rounds
of ammunition, proclaimed that he was fighting the extinction of the
white race.

A little over a month later, Donnie Baker, a former Republican campaign
volunteer shot seven Chilean immigrants in Florida. Those who knew him
said he was obsessed with the fear that illegal immigrants were taking
over the country.

In April of 2009, Richard Popalowski, a white supremacist in Pittsburgh,
shot and killed three police officers following a domestic disturbance
call. He apparently thought that Obama was part of a government
conspiracy to seize all guns, and he feared the government would take
his guns away.

Later the same month, a Fort Walton Beach Florida man who thought the
Obama administration was conspiring against him, shot and murdered two
sheriff�s deputies.

On May 31, 2009 Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his own church by a
right-wing �pro- life� gun man who decided to express his belief in the
sanctity of human life by executing a medical doctor.

Eleven days later a right-wing white supremacist and Holocaust denier
walked into the National Holocaust Museum and killed an African-American
security guard. Two weeks later, three Neo-Nazis were arrested for
bombing a diversity office in Scottsdale, Arizona.

On April 20, 2010 a member of the Sovereign Citizen movement was
arrested after a failed attempt to take over a Tennessee county courthouse.

Exactly one month later, in West Memphis Arkansas, Sovereign citizens
Jerry and Joe Kane murdered two police officers before they themselves
were shot and killed in the ensuing shoot out with police.

On July 18, 2010 Byron Williams, an angry unemployed man, was arrested
by police after they discovered a car full of weapons and ammunition
that he had planned to use to kill progressives. He was on his way to
the non-profit Tides Foundation Center, a favorite target of vitriol
from Glenn Beck�s radio show.

On Jan. 8, 2011 22-year old Jarold Lee Laughner killed six people,
including a judge and a nine-year old child, and wounded 13 others,
including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), using a 9mm Glock 19
pistol during a public meeting in a supermarket parking lot near Tuscon, AZ.

On Aug. 5, 2012 Wade Michael Page, a 40-year old white supremacist and
U.S. Army veteran murdered six people and wounded four others inside a
Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, WI with a Springfield XD(M) semi-automatic pistol.

http://www.examiner.com/article/the-idea-that-recent-mass-shooters-are-mostly-registered-democrats-is-a-myth

As for your idiotic delusions:

"The idea that recent mass shooters are mostly registered Democrats is a
myth

by Keith Darling-Brekhus, Tulsa FBI Examiner
January 20, 2013

Based on the assertions of Roger Hedgecock a right-wing radio show host,
the meme that the five worst recent mass shootings were committed by
registered Democrats is making its way through e-mail chains and social
media. Hedgecock asserts, without providing any evidence or sources,
that the Ft. Hood shooter, the Virginia Tech shooter, the Aurora Theater
shooter and Adam Lanza of Sandy Hook infamy were all �registered
Democrats�. He acknowledges that Klebold and Harris (the Columbine
Colorado shooters) were too young to be registered voters but asserts,
again without providing any evidence, that Harris and Klebold�s parents
were progressives or liberal Democrats. All of these charges are utterly
baseless and perhaps do not even deserve a response. However, given the
effectiveness of right-wing lies in saturating social media and duping
the incurious (a far too numerous segment of the population), some more
detailed debunking is in order.

To the best of my ability, I have attempted to research these claims
with as much rigor as possible. If there is any evidence for or against
my debunking, I welcome that evidence in the spirit of free inquiry. Let
me also state that given that neither major political party condones
mass shooter violence in any way, shape or form, and that all these acts
are individual acts of violence that are not sanctioned by either
elected Democrats or Republicans (at least not mainstream leaders in
either party), the very notion that they are acting on behalf of a
political party is itself problematic. This is not to say that mass
shootings are apolitical acts, but rather it is to say that as political
acts they may express an ideology (racism, misogyny, entitlement,
psychosis, etc) but they do not in general express alignment with a
political party or if they do it is not an association that the
Democrats or Republicans would accept as legitimate (neither party wants
to claim James Holmes or Adam Lanza as a member in good standing, no
matter what Holmes or Lanza feels about them). In any case, we can
categorically REJECT the notion that any of the shooters in question has
been shown to be a registered Democrat on a case by case basis.

1. Nidal Hasan (the Ft. Hood shooter) lived in either Virginia (his
state of residence prior to being sent to Ft. Hood) or Texas, neither of
which has partisan registration. Therefore the claim that he was a
"registered Democrat" is false. I do not know if he voted or how he
voted, but I do know that unless he was registered in a state in which
he did not reside, that the claim that he is a registered Democrat is FALSE.

2. Since Virginia does not have partisan registration there is also no
way to tell whether Seung-Hui Cho was a Democrat, but again because
there is no partisan registration in the state we can say that the claim
that he is a registered Democrat is FALSE. (Update: A more obvious point
is that Cho was a resident alien, not a US citizen, so he was not
eligible to vote in the US)

3. The allegation that James Holmes was registered Democrat was based on
a Breitbart blogger Joel B. Pollack, who found voter registration
records for a DIFFERENT James Holmes who was about the same age. Alex
Jones� Infowars and other right-wing websites then dutifully repeated
the lie without verifying it. It was later determined that the Colorado
Theater Shooter James Holmes was NOT registered to vote, as evidenced by
this retraction: {Newly-released information on the suspect�s birthdate
(which, as indicated in our initial report, was a slight mismatch),
combined with new details Breitbart News has obtained about the
suspect�s likely addresses, together suggest that the suspect may, in
fact, not have been registered to vote.}. However, most of right-wing
media continued to promote the lie without printing Breitbart sites
retraction. The claim that James Holmes was a registered Democrat is FALSE.

4. The claim that Adama Lanza is a registered Democrat has been
suggested based not on any evidence that he was registered as one, but
on the rather dubious claim that because Connecticut has almost 2 to 1
Democratic registration over Republicans, he was probably a Democrat.
(Claim: "Adam Lanza, NewtownConn murderer. Registered Democrats
outnumber Republicans by about a 2-1 ratio in Connecticut. The odds are
therefore that the Lanza family are (sic) Democrats.") This of course is
a bogus argument to begin with, but even if we were to make the claim
that a mass shooter�s political affiliation must be the same as the
majority of the people in his area, we can debunk this foolish idea by
taking this shoddy analysis down to the local level. Yes, Connecticut
voted for Barack Obama, BUT the city of Newtown voted for Mitt Romney.
If we look at the results we find that Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama
in Newtown by 7451-6784 votes or 51.7 percent to 47 percent. Republican
Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Linda McMahon carried the city
over Democrat Chris Murphy by an even larger margin. Add in the other
information we have that Lanza�s mother was a �doomsday prepper� and a
home schooler in a Republican-leaning city and we can pretty well
dispense with the erroneous assumption that Lanza must have been a
Democrat (UPDATE: According to at least one media source, Nancy Lanza
was a registered Republican. The source does not provide a link, but the
author of this article is seeking further confirmation). We can
therefore claim that with no evidence to support the claim, the
assertion that Lanza was a Democrat is not demonstrated and that in the
absence of any evidence it is likely FALSE.

5. Klebold and Harris of course were not old enough to vote and they had
no apparent political affiliation. Allegations that they came from
families of Democrats or liberal progressives appear to have no sources
to substantiate those claims. What little ideology the boys demonstrated
owed mostly to an admiration for Timothy McVeigh not Ted Kennedy.
Harris� father was a retired Air Force pilot and Eric Harris wanted to
join the Marine Corps. The boys lived in Littleton, Colorado a
relatively conservative and affluent suburb of Denver. The claim that
their parents were Democrats is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Any suggestion that the
two boys were Democrats is demonstrably FALSE.

I'm guessing he heard that lie from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or Fox
News, and eagerly, unquestioningly gobbled it down whole, since it
panders to his own ignorant preconceptions, as intended.

RD, just a minor technical correction here. The poster did not say
anything about Lanza buying a gun. The letter R in "brought" changes it
to the act of bringing a gun somewhere.

Of course, since it is an incomplete sentence that does not express a
full thought, I could be wrong in my interpretation also. I added the
clause "to the school" as an implied expression. It is possible that you
took the interpretation he meant and he just misspelled "bought", which
would make your statement a correct correction.

You know, it would be so much better if people would use proper grammar
and spelling in their posts. I guess that would be asking too much of
most posters.

So where did Dudu get *his* lie? Oh right, you don't give a shit about
that.
