The country weeps. I really would like to know how the NRA member/enthusiasts are felling right now? Has anyone known one of these freaks, personally? I haven't (thank God), but I would like to know just how they feel at this moment? Do they feel any guilt? Do they feel "Not my problem"? Are they worrying about their "2nd Amendment rights"... since they must know how the people in this country are feeling right now: GUN CONTROL NOW! GDit!
Suspect is: Ryan Lanza, age 24, from NJ. His mother is/was a teacher at the elementary school.
It looks like he shot his father in NJ, and then came to this school where his mother works. I imagine his mother is dead too, now, along with her class?????
