The Connecticut Carnage..

    No one is NOT angry - there is no sure-fire remedy to the problem - moral re-education, inculcating better social & moral values, fear of the Divine (the Govt?)adoption of extreme punitive measures; anything anyone has or will come up with; very categorically will not solve this problem adequately.      

  Many countries elsewhere around the world, though, do not allow anyone other than armed forces, police & (certified) security personnel, to carry, own or use firearms. Screening is stringently conducted before anyone (not in the categories allowed by law) owns and operates a weapon. When license is given the purchase of bullets too is very strictly documented, recorded & accounted for by the (stringently screened) dealers to the authorities.

  In such countries crimes are committed with use of arms too (illegally acquired). The incidences of mass slaughters through semi or automatic firearms though are very infrequent as compared to the USA -  reason  - the ease of obtaining such weapons is zero.

 These countries practice Democracy too, perhaps not identical to USA's version. Their citizens are human beings (not some aliens with higher angelic values). They have similar leanings, negative human urges & anti-social inclinations & propensity towards criminal acts too. There are people living in these places with severely disturbed and troubled personalities too. They do run berserk on and off BUT usually with machetes at most. NEVER with semi automatic weapons. 

 The extent of the carnage in human lives, is thus restricted by the killing force of the weapons available.

The glaring difference between the US & such other countries - THE NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY TO EASILY GET A GUN ! 

   Perhaps Huckabee is partly right. The de-God-ing of society might be a factor.     

    An Asian saying "Fear the guy who fears neither god or man" 

   It could also be the abdicating of parental responsibilities as first role models to their children. Many parents are qualified only in their biological ability to procreate. 

   Likely too the delegation of fostering good values to equally unqualified  (not in academic qualifications) teachers. Teachers lacking commitment, dedication, focus & motivation to 'build' a socially adequate person from the children under their tutelage. A teacher in only for a livelihood.

  And not completely without accountability for these incidences 

-  those who formulate, approve & ensure the system Americans live in is safe, wholesome & conducive to the pursuit of their dreams & aspiration as laid out in the Freedoms - cherished by & held forth by Americans.  

Every answer to why a disturbed individual did this is at best only a conjecture. Only someone equally troubled or perhaps a supernatural being might have more than an inkling.

Besides all ills of society, that could possibly account for such acts, isn't it undeniable if guns had been impossible (or near impossible to lay hands on)what happened at Newtown, and the very unacceptably painful loss, would probably be a non-event?

  Despite the overwhelming outpouring of grief on live national TV, in the breaking hearts of those bereaved, in every feeling American (normal) - the need for a complete over-haul of value systems that made US what it is, especially on gun control, very unacceptably is overdue.

No one man, Obama or whoever will come up with a comprehensive answer -  the cause of the disease being "MUTIFACTORIAL"  it will not be found in a single silver bullet ! 

No one is patient - for workable solutions to be initiated !
