The Face of Evil

The hysteria over the shootings in Newtown continues apace. The media which could not seem to report the crime accurately is now telling us non-stop that the reason for the killings was the lack of gun control legislation. Adam Lanza was the shooter, but the media told all America that it was his brother Ryan Lanza who had pulled the trigger. But the same media knows the reason why this all happened; we need gun control. Mrs. Lanza, the shooter's mother, was a teacher at the school and was shot in her classroom along with the children we were told. Then we were told that she was a substitute teacher at the school. Finally, we learned that she was not a teacher and that she had no connection to the school. But these same folks tell us that the reason for the shootings is that we have inadequate gun control. We also were told that the weapons used by the shooter included assault weapons that fire bursts of bullets at a time. That too turned out to be false; the weapons were just regular guns and they were all purchased legally after going through the detailed checks and other requirements set up by the state of Connecticut. In other words, the weapons were already regulated under a rather strict gun control law, and it did not stop the killer. But the media tells us that the lack of such a law is what led to the shootings.

It really is enough. This tragedy ought not to be hijacked into becoming part of a meaningless gun control debate. The real reason for these deaths is the triumph of evil that manifest itself through this sad shooter. Of course, we simply cannot understand why Adam Lanza did this. It is this very lack of understanding that results in the gun control nonsense spewing from the media. They cannot report that this was an incomprehensible evil. Such a story would conflict with their basic self-view as all knowing. There has to be a solution from the government for every problem. There just has to be! But we all know that the reality is really very different. Bad things do happen to good people and often it is inexplicable why that is so. Humanity cannot control all problems, no matter what the liberal media may think. Let's stop fooling ourselves. Gun control rules can change, but they will make no difference.
