Please shut the fuck up and stop using this tragedy to get on your soapbox.
Also please don't use this thread to soapbox about whether you like or dislike guns; this thread is only to be used to hate on people who are using tragedies as launch pads to debate, and TMO.

I actually have to agree with hBB here.
Today i've seen more "If more people just carried guns/didnt carry guns this wouldn't happened" comments than ever.
This isn't about guns. It's about a bunch of innocent children being killed. This was beyond fucked up in every sense of the phrase.
I'm going to preface my next statement by saying I am neither for, nor against gun control, but this is fact. Even people carrying concealed weapons fail to use them the majority of the time. This has been shown over and over in tests where a gunman is put into a classroom/mall/whatever, and someone(s) is given a gun to fight back. Most of the time, he isn't even able to pull it out before he's shot. Even people with years of training find it difficult to actually react well in a situation like this.
That being said, it may have made a difference if a teacher had been carrying a gun. We could have 5 dead children instead of upwards of 20.
Either way something awful still would have happened. I agree 100% that it's both sick and twisted to use this as a platform for your gun agenda. Get off it.
