When one of these tragic events occurs we often look for someone to blame. The events that really struck me recently was Benghazi, and even more tragic, Sandy Hook. I'm not trying to compare the two or tie them together. Just trying to voice my opinion.
I saw the handwriting on the wall after Sandy Hook. Our government wants stricter gun control laws. If they could disarm all American citizens they would. They want to disarm you; not the Secret Service and various security forces that are heavily armed and protect these worthless imbeciles. When was the last time you heard of anyone breaking into the Senate or the House of Representatives, let alone the Oval Office, and go on a killing spree? They have about as much concern for your individual safety as they do about the deficit. Ironically Washington DC has some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation. They also have the highest rate of homicide. No one knows the exact number of firearms owned by private citizens. The FBI estimates that there are over 200 million privately-owned firearms in the US. Even if there was no such thing as the 2nd Amendment does anyone truly believe EVERYONE would turn over their guns?

Concerning Benghazi, Hillary who was about to testify conveniently faints and suffers a concussion. Remember now she is a Clinton. Were there any witnesses to this event? It's starting to smell like the "Bosnian sniper". I guess it is of no consequence since the government has wrapped it all up in a neat little package issuing a statement trying to put a end to yet another scandal referring to it as "systemic failures" . Washingtonese for EPIC FAIL. I suppose that means there is so much blame to go around they don't know where to begin; so don't blame anybody? Hillary wants to run in 2016 and is trying to put as much distance between her and Barry as she can. By 2016 this country will be just about ruined finically. The talk on the street is Moody's will follow S&P with another downgrade.
Enter Sandy Hook. The government can't, more likely won't, figure out Benghazi aided by the MSM, but they have all the answers to solve Sandy Hook. Bottom line. It's the guns. Get rid of them... problem solved. Forget about personal responsibility. Forget about addressing people with serious mental issues.
I feel the need to cast a stone here myself. The Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza no matter how you slice it or dice it had a history of mental issues to be sure. The last story I heard if it is correct (this story changes more then the weather) the mother Nancy did volunteer work with kindergarden children at the school and her son was jealous because he thought she was spending too much time with them. To further exacerbate the situation he found out his mother was on the computer looking up web sites to have him committed to a psychiatric facility. This is what investigators believed made him snap. I'm sorry but if someone is to be blamed for this point the finger at the mother. Living alone a single mom the mother felt a need to have guns in the home, not a problem. However, when you have a son who resides with you who has a history of mental disorders Asperger Syndrome, and was seeing a therapist, you have to wonder why, as was reported, she taught her son how to shoot taking him to a shooting range. You really have to question her judgement here. These guns should have been locked up or at least in a safe place where he couldn't find them. Guns in the hands of people with mental disorders usually winds up in a devastating aftermath of which we just witnessed. The story I read was she was trying to bond with her son. But why not take him fishing, bowling, etc...anything but shooting!
And finally what gets me about these guys is they usually wind up killing a group of people then turn the gun on themselves. Too bad they didn't do that first.

As far as blaming God is concerned...
It is hard to conceive what was allowed to happen in Benghazi. On a separate note there are no words to convey my sorrow over the 27 dead in Sandy Hook... 20 of which were children. One of the mothers said of her daughter... "the last time I saw her she was blowing kisses at me from the school bus." Talk about heart wrenching. I can't even begin to imagine what the parents are going through. Please pray for them and the loved ones they left behind.
Guess this took Fast and Furious off the front page -- hopefully only for a while...
