[Vision2020] Happy gun violence day!

That's nothing more than inaccurate early reporting that's since been
factually disproven.

If you disagree, then you are also advocating that the shooter's brother,
also inaccurately identified to Pete Williams by those same federal & state
sources, should be arrested as one of the shooters even though subsequent
investigation cleared up that misinformation!

And, law enforcement should be looking for more shooters because early
reporting indicated the possibility of more than one shooter!!

And, the shooter's mother really worked at Sandy Hook Elementary School at
the time of the shooting!!!

And, the shooter had a recent confrontation with several Sandy Hook
Elementary School staff!!!!

And so forth.

You've made it clear you don't have any concern whatsoever for accuracy, but
for those who *do* care:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/17/us/connecticut-school-shooting/index.html
http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/newtown.asp

The second link successfully debunks ***many*** of the fallacies you & your
pals without a shred of decency amongst the lot are working overtime to
spread.
