Perhaps, just perhaps, the main stream media may actually learn something from the Sandy Hook massacre.  According to the following (unconfirmed) report from CBS, the killer, Adam Lanza, had compared himself to Anders Brelvik, the Norwegian mass killer:

The report also claims that Lanza choose the school because it would be an easy target.  That was certainly consistent with the strategy of Brelvik who went to an island where he knew, because of Norwegian gun control laws, there would be no firearms.

If this is accurate, then perhaps we should be more concerned about eliminating gun free zones than a meaningless assault rifle ban.  Norway has the strictest gun control laws in the world, but Brelvik had no trouble getting an “assault” rife.  He was the only one on the entire island with a gun.  That is why he was able to kill 69 people unopposed.  The Sandy Hook elementary school shooting also took place at a “gun free zone.”  “Gun free,” to a mass murderer who isn’t overly concerned about breaking the law, just means it is unlikely anyone can shoot back.

Has anyone noticed that even though the main stream media desperately searches for the most remote Tea Party connection to any mass shooting, so no such connection has been found?   If the main stream media had been looking for liberals, on the other hand, they would have been far more successful.  The most recent killer in California even wrote a manifesto praising people like Piers Morgan and Diane Feinstein for promoting gun control.  Liberal blogs are full of rage and hatred for anyone with a different political opinion.  These types of comments rarely appear on any of the conservative blogs, because such behavior is not tolerated.   If hate speech is a factor that increases the potential for violence, then perhaps the main stream media should try look at those liberal blogs and check this out for themselves.  Of course that would require some concern with regard to the truth of the matter making this highly unlikely.
