Armed Americans and the Sandy Hook massacre


On December 14, 2013, a mentally-disturbed young man murdered his mother, then massacred over two dozen innocent children and school staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut. As expected, this incident inflamed the discussion on gun rights. But, most of the rhetoric does not address the real issue: Mental health.

Mark Walters, host of Armed American Radio, a weekly three-hour radio talk sho that focuses on firearms, gun rights, and self defense. I found this edition of his show to be the best he has ever produced and the best treatment of the issues surrounding the Sandy Hook massacre and other violent crime. I urge all to listen. You will not regret it.

After listening, I'm sure you will conclude that we shooters know how to fix the problem of mass shootings. We've always known. Our response comes from facts and reason -- not hysteria as is so pervasive in the anti-gun crowd, the "news" media, and the misinformed/uninformed public.
