  Who or what is to blame for the Newtown CT shooting?

  if events like the recent school shooting in newtown are to be avoided from here on out, we must understand who or what is to blame.

  there is a reason that it happend, maybe it was simple or maybe it was very complex, but this didn't just simply happen.

  a series of events transpired that inspired or even just allowed adam lanza to commit this terrible atrocity.

  I believe they are military weapons, as well, the Sig 550 assault rifle.

  As one who has used many different types of weapons and understand how they work, it's really sad to see how confused the media/TV news people butcher the facts about guns and how different guns work. Let alone all the spin put on all the stats. I'm not sure we'll ever learn the lessons needed to curb this type of thing.

  One of the problems I see is just as in the old “assault weapon” ban, most of the law makers don’t understand what makes one gun more lethal than another, so they pass dumb laws that address appearance more than function. High capacity mags are not as big of an issue as you may think, the type of action (auto/semi-auto/pump ect.) and type of ammo have much more to do with lethality.

  What will happen when someone uses a simple pump action shotgun to kill more people than Adam Lanza? Will lawmakers try to take them away from the hunters as well? Not that hunting has anything to do with the 2 nd amendment.

  Deep? Maybe I'm missing something, but, it seems that it's dumbing down the definition of life, or its importance at least.

  @deputy dog - it would be good evidence if it could be shown this was likely to be the case.

  Do you have any evidence otherwise?

  If you're referring to human existence, I'd say the process whereby that happened is somewhat up for debate wouldn't you? :)

  I'm not refering to just human existence or debating the process. I'm refering creation as a whole.

  From: THE TIME IS AT HAND page 99

  In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished at the end of A. D. 1914. Then the prayer of the Church, ever since her Lord took his departure - "Thy Kingdom come'' - will be answered; and under that wise and just administration, the whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord - with knowledge, and righteousness, and peace (Psa. 72:19; Isa. 6:3; Hab. 2:14); and the will of God shall be done "on earth, as it is done in heaven."

  Last time I checked the kindoms of this world are still ruling. Or is this what God's will is like in heaven?

  page 101

  Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A. D. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of God Almighty'' (Rev. 16:14.), which will end in A, D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced. The gathering of the armies is plainly visible from the standpoint of God's Word.

  Did this happen?

  Is the battle over? Is this as good as it gets?
