Why don't they put her corpse on trial and, upon conviction, bury her in unconsecrated ground?
If the progressive elites, and their cult of mindless imbeciles, had their way it'd be that and worse.
Better than blaming law-abiding gun owners and the leading 2nd Amendment civil rights organization. I actually think it would be appropriate for the corpse of her monstrous son.
Her son is one thing, placing any blame on her is a nauseating degree of injustice.
Per the laws of the day and district, she would be on trial for 20 counts of manslaughter. What a lack of judgement on her part.
Ms. Lanza left firearms available to someone she knew was not in their right mind (for lack of a better description). He certainly didn't have the right to bear arms.
That's all there is to it. What a dope. Wasn't she trying to have him institutionalized due to his his mental probs (again, for lack of a better description).
So now all who bear arms are under the shadow of a fool who slipped up.
Burn her bones! That's what I say.
Life is a very risky proposition with a 100% mortality rate. All the more reason to be brave, since no one escapes without paying the ultimate price.
She was completely innocent. And I don't believe in punishing the innocent. Not in any way, or form.
She was just another victim of her son's actions.
That's like giving the 9/11 hijackers a memorial because technically they were the first to die on impact!!!
