More gun violence? 20 dead? 26 dead. 20 babies are dead. An entire classroom. Six adults couldn't stop it. Two hand guns and an assault rifle. Dressed in black. The Dark Knight Returns, huh?

Multiple people, including children, (click here) have been killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The number of dead is unclear, but there are at least 20 shooting victims. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources said....
Don't over react? Really? Huh? Leading with our heads over our hearts is exactly the problem here. We allow too much tolerance for guns on our streets.

Don't tell me for one minute this is not cultural. It is a culture of violence in the USA. Young people are killed everyday in the USA. This just happens to be 20 at a time.

...Police said Komperda (click here) was not the intended target, but the gunman might have been targeting a family member.
The shooter allegedly approached Thompson for help and he agreed because “he wanted to be popular and have status in the neighborhood and with the shooter,” according to court records.
Thompson had no criminal background....

This might be a mimic to what happened in the mall, too. One mass attack gives permission of another and so on and so forth. We don't need heroes, we need safe people. I don't doubt there are people who are heroes in all these circumstances, that is not the point.

Little children are dead and the US House of Representatives are enjoying a long weekend having only worked three days this week. The USA Senate resumes their schedule on Monday, December 17, 2012 at 2 PM.

I am looking for legislation about the violence within our social culture, but, so far the only one I found was this.

HR 2
An act to repeal the job-killing health care law and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.
S. 192 
Mr. DeMint A bill to repeal the job-killing health care law and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. 

There are many bills to reinstate provisions of the Patriot Act. Tell me something, how is it the Patriot Act doesn't stop the flow of guns into the population of the USA? Wouldn't those promoting the Patriot Act seek to undermine the availability of guns to terrorists? Hm. I guess not, considering there is all that export by pick-up truck load to Mexico.


S. 1050 Senator Paul - A bill to modify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and to require judicial review of National Security Letters and Suspicious Activity Reports to prevent unreasonable searches and for other purposes.


S.J. Res. 13 Mr. Paul - Joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the Government of Libya and the Government and the people of 
the United States, and making provision to prosecute the same.

Senator Whitehouse is trying to limit some military counterfeit goods. Don't know what that is all about. It would be nice if assault weapons were banned, too. Assault weapons are military, counterfeit or not doesn't really matter, does it?


S. 1228 Mr. Whitehouse and others - A bill to prohibit trafficking in 
counterfeit military goods or services.

This one has merit. It all depends what the definition of corruption is.


S. 401 Mr. Leahy and others - A bill to help Federal prosecutors and investigators combat public corruption by strengthening and clarifying the law.
