I wish I could say that shocks me. But coming from the \u201cProgressive\u201d side, it doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 They do crap like that all the time.<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy, though, disgusts me. Because if anyone besides the shooter, Adam Lanza, is to blame for Sandy Hook \u2013 it\u2019s our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In the 1950s and 1960s, our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221; began advocating for the rights of mental health patients.\u00a0 \u201cInstitutions are horrible, and unnecessary!\u201d they said.\u00a0 \u201cWe can treat them at home, or in the community!\u201d they said.\u00a0 \u201cPutting someone in an institution is a violation of their rights, and should be only done as a last resort &#8211; after they&#8217;ve proved they&#8217;re violent!\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>And they convinced various state legislatures to change laws and do exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>Connecticut was one of those states.\u00a0 Indeed, in Connecticut today it\u2019s virtually impossible to get someone involuntarily committed \u2013 no matter how crazy they are \u2013 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">before<\/span> they\u2019ve committed an act of violence.\u00a0 The law doesn\u2019t support it, and judges almost universally won\u2019t order it.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does this have to do with Sandy Hook?\u00a0 Plenty. Let\u2019s recap what happened leading up to that incident.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The shooter, Adam Lanza, had serious mental issues.\u00a0 After struggling with home care for years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=33355\">his own mother was trying to get him institutionalized<\/a> \u2013 presumably so that he would get the help he desperately needed.<\/li>\n<li>The legal system in Connecticut refused to institutionalize Adam Lanza.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because he hadn\u2019t committed a violent act.\u00a0 Yet.<\/li>\n<li>The previous year, laws had been proposed in Connecticut\u2019s legislature that would make it easier to commit involuntarily those with mental issues.\u00a0 The laws did not pass.\u00a0 Connecticut is a liberal state; over 60% of each house of Connecticut\u2019s legislature is Democratic.<\/li>\n<li>Adam Lanza was not simply full-blown batsh!t crazy.\u00a0 He was also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34605\">obsessed with mass murders<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Adam Lanza tried to purchase a firearm.\u00a0 Since he was less than 21 years old, he was refused \u2013 but on the grounds of age, not insanity.<\/li>\n<li>Adam Lanza\u2019s mother owned firearms.\u00a0 She kept them secured.\u00a0 Adam Lanza murdered his own mother and stole her firearms after killing her.<\/li>\n<li>Adam Lanza used those stolen firearms to commit mass murder.<\/li>\n<li>By law, the place Adam Lanza chose to commit his crime was a \u201cgun free zone\u201d \u2013 AKA an undefended soft target.\u00a0 Adam Lanza knew this.\u00a0 It was one of the reasons he chose that location for his crime.<\/li>\n<li>Schools being &#8220;gun free zones&#8221; was also courtesy of our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221;.\u00a0 Along with deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill, they&#8217;d urged passage of laws designating schools as &#8220;gun free zones&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>The police arrived well after\u00a0Adam Lanza had already killed all his victims.\u00a0 During his reign of terror, he was unopposed.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">he alone<\/span> was armed in a \u201cgun free zone\u201d.\u00a0 It was against the law for anyone there to have a firearm.\u00a0 The law-abiding people there thus couldn\u2019t defend themselves against an armed lunatic who didn&#8217;t give a damn what the law said.<\/li>\n<li>When finally confronted by armed opposition, Adam Lanza committed suicide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here\u2019s the deal:\u00a0 what Adam Lanza did was unlawful \u2013 multiple times over.\u00a0 He tried to buy a weapon legally, and was refused.\u00a0 So he <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">murdered <em>his own mother<\/em><\/span>, stole her weapons, took those stolen weapons to a \u201cgun free zone\u201d, and then committed 24 <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">more<\/span><\/em> murders.\u00a0 Each of those acts is a heinous crime.\u00a0 The minute he was confronted by armed opposition \u2013 he killed himself.<\/p>\n<p>Our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221; deinstitutionalized the mentally ill in the 1960s, and made it virtually impossible in Connecticut for anyone to be involuntarily committed before they committed a violent act.\u00a0 Without that, ALL of the innocents killed at Sandy Hook would be alive today.\u00a0 So probably would Adam Lanza.<\/p>\n<p>Our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221; forced schools to be declared legal \u201cgun free zones\u201d, AKA undefended soft targets.\u00a0 Without that, Adam Lanza might have encountered armed opposition early in his lunatic spree.\u00a0 (We&#8217;re talking Connecticut, though, so perhaps not.)\u00a0 It wouldn\u2019t have saved his mother, and probably wouldn\u2019t have saved his next victim.\u00a0 <em>But those two might well have been the only lives lost.<\/em>\u00a0 In any case, I\u2019m guessing we\u2019d be talking far fewer than 25 innocent lives lost.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">One well-placed shot<\/span> from an armed defender was all that was needed to save lives.\u00a0 But no armed defenders were there &#8211; because laws passed at the urging of our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221; forbade it.<\/p>\n<p>Our Bleeding-Heart Liberal &#8220;Brethren&#8221; say that to prevent this from happening again, we need more laws.\u00a0 They say that guns are to blame, not the lunatic who murdered his own mother and then killed over 20 others using stolen weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right.\u00a0 Adam Lanza was batsh!t-crazy insane.\u00a0 He was willing to commit multiple felonies \u2013\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">including <em>murdering his own mother<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 Do you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">really<\/span> think another law would have made one damn bit of difference to him?\u00a0 If so, let\u2019s talk business.\u00a0 I can make you a helluva deal on a bridge.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see who\u2019s responsible for Sandy Hook, my Bleeding-Heart Liberal \u201cBrethren\u201c, look at a picture of Adam Lanza.\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Then go look in the freaking mirror.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because other than Adam Lanza, <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">you<\/span><\/em> are the ones responsible for Sandy Hook.\u00a0 The blood of the innocents killed at Sandy Hook is on <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">your<\/span><\/em> hands.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You<\/span><\/em> valued the rights of madmen more than society &#8211;
