Newtown is a perfect example of the old saying

Laws making it harder for a nut to get such guns could also stop the bad guys.
You should add that to your list.

Sheesh, you can't even get the saying right! The saying is: If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
Here is a popular bumper sticker down South: If Guns Are Outlawed, How Will We Shoot Liberals?
Might want to get one of those for yer pickup truck, Al. Would go swell with the Yosemite Sam mudflaps.

A law banning the sale of the guns his mother bought, and let him use.
You know what laws would do it - you just don't like such laws.

Sure. Adam Lanza might have been able to get A gun, but if we outlawed assault weapons and high capacity magazines, he might have been limited to a six-shooter, and would not have been able to commit the mayhem that he did.
But it's no big deal, Al. After all, it was just a buncha snotty-nosed kindergartners. Heck, more people die in bathtub accidents, every day.
Right?
his mother bought the guns for him, took him to target practice.
there's no law against that, is there?

As you must know despite your hysterical gun nut mania, there's no assurance that he could have done those things. You just conjure them up to pretend that the massacre could have been avoided if the sale of the guns and clips bought by the mother were banned.
But we could also pass laws preventing the scenarios you conjured up. You would hate those laws, but we could pass them.

Al is on record as complaining that the media sensationalized the Newtown massacre. Pointed out that more people die in auto accidents every day. I think he deserves what we're giving him.

Al, please don't be silly. Your a generally smart & decent guy who knows that if extended clips and assault weapons that have ZERO self defense or hunting application go buh-bye.. AND if we adopt some REASONABLE licensing and training laws... gun crimes won't stop, but maybe horrific 12-50 casualty mass murders will morph into still disgusting but more acceptable 2-10 casualty mass murders.

We don't claim that gun nuts cheer for the deaths of children. Only that they are indifferent to them.
If such slaughters are the price we pay for being awash with assault weapons, huge magazines, etc., then so be it, eh?

Lefty always likes to sensationalize shootings
Even though it's not a leading cause of death in America. Only 1.2% of deaths in America are caused by firearms. Traffic collisions is at 1.8%. When are we going to outlaw cars?

Tell them, Al. I'll pay for your airline ticket.

Your reaction suggests that you're no less indifferent to the slaughters of the kids. Don't try to put yourself in a different category.
