In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.

The crime almost as great as the murders was the action of the conspiracy theorists in the wake of the atrocity, lying that the children hadn’t been killed, accusing the parents and other relatives of being fakers, sending them vicious hate male up to and including death threats, sliming their reputations all over the internet . . .
I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, especially through an act of slaughter. But the additional pain these parents were put through by the vilest, most self-indulgent scum on the planet must have been so horrific that I can’t even bring myself to try to contemplate it. It’s more than any human being should be expected to bear.

You’re absolutely right John. I’m a firm believer in the 1st Amendment, but what Alex Jones and his ilk have perpetrated on these families is criminal. There’s got to be a special place in Hell for them.

And the gun violence continues to increase with each passing year. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since this heartbreaking tragedy. I can’t imagine the pain the parents experience during this time of year. I pray God steps in soon to rid this world of the wicked people that commit these terrible atrocities (Psalms 37:10,11).
