The shootings at V-Tech should have never been politicized. But people like to point finger and find someone to blame. So called political pundits find every opportunity to promote their agendas regardless of timing or the emotional cost to victims. They pretend to care, while bringing along their old tired arguments that this cause or that cause are the biggest evils in society.

In this case, gun haters have taken the opportunity to again call for restriction of the freedom of all lawful Americans. Never mind that the shooter was breaking the law even having the guns in his possession when he did what he did. Personal responsibility has almost become an ugliness in this new era. Gun haters have as their answer, more law, but the fact is that the person that did the slaying was in violation of existing laws at the moment that the killings happened. More law does not help a true democracy. Now enforcing the existing laws, without malice or favoritism, that helps a free people stay free.

We promote bare bones socialism when we lock down the freedom of the individual and make government God. It forces America to have to pass more law, and enforce and regulate more law, that requires more money, so we extract more and more and more money from the working class. Haven't you had enough of a government that blames lack of law for its lack of ability to govern? I have.

The V-Tech murderer had a head full of hatred for the U.S., that hatred placed there, sadly, by America-hating professors. He bought guns and killed with guns because in his head he was already a killer. He was not an emotionally balanced individual, who one day woke up to the fact that guns were lawfully available nearby, and decided that because the guns were available he would go get them, and kill with them. The killing was already in his head. He would have killed regardless.

His actions were despicable, and he stole the peace and emotional wholeness from scores of families. He is not a victim, he was not misunderstood, he was violent and a hater.

He was a killer. There is no amount of political spin-doctoring that will change the fact that he was a murderer. There is no amount of political spin-doctoring that will restore the lives of the victims. But those who have deep-seated hatred themselves do not care. They just see the 32 dead victims as fodder to push their agendas at the rest of us, hoping for a knee jerk reaction, before we realize what we did and they can pass what they want.

If they didn't and if they weren't, they wouldn't say what they say.
