As Twitchy reported, ghoulish lefties immediately jumped on the opportunity to politicize this morning’s tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that left nearly 30 people dead, most of whom were children. Now, right on cue, ignorant liberal celebrity vultures are swooping in to turn the tragedy into a gun control soapbox:
Past time!!! RT @sacca: 27 dead in a school shooting. 14 of them are kids. So tell me again, when are we allowed to talk about gun control?

I don't want to hear one idiotic word out of the NRA

Gun control is no longer debatable- it's not a 'conversation'- It's a moral mandate. '

I'm trying to be more positive these days but people who say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" – those people are fucking morons!

Band-Aids-on-Band-Aids @NRA people want MORE access to guns to combat all the people w access to guns.

Can't wait for the NRA to come running out in defense of fire arms. Again.

What kind of nut case would shoot children at an elementary school and, a week before Christmas? A major nut case with a gun.

I pray that we do! RT @aidansdaddy619: @DeepakChopra Can we ban guns now? #ConnecticutTragedy

We can't limit the crazy people in the world, but we can limit what they have access to.

GUN CONTROL. A Glock and a Sig Sauer aren't for hunting deer and they won't protect 'We the people' from a drone attack.

So sad to hear about babies being shot in America. The poor families. When will they outlaw firearms?

School killings not acceptable trade-off for less restrictive gun laws. We need more controls on all firearms.
Founding Fathers would agree.— Andrew Zimmern (@andrewzimmern) December 14, 2012
The rights of those who own and use guns within legal parameters are not worth the lives wasted by those who do not.

Look at that number of dead kids and their teachers and tell me with a straight fucking face our laws are currently fine the way they are.

Gun control is our only road to freedom. Freedom from the fear of senselessly losing children. I'm so saddened. WE NEED LAWS NOW.
— Rashida Jones (@iamrashidajones) December 14, 2012
Gun lovers are the first to remind you this should be a "day of mourning". How about we mourn & make it harder to get guns on the same day?
— Rashida Jones (@iamrashidajones) December 14, 2012
My heart breaks for the victims & community of Newtown. Impossible to grasp. Guns need to be banned & illegal sales need harsher punishment!

So who is going to tell BOB COSTAS that he was wrong calling for gun sanity?

Guns do nothing but encourage paranoid lunacy, arm fools and criminals, and rain grief and destruction down on the innocent.

Heart aching over Connecticut. This doesn't happen when people go nuts in Japan or UK because Americans are over-armed. We need to disarm!

We have to unite as a country and BAN assault weapons …. NO private party needs a semi automatic … This has to stop !!

Our weekly mass shootings aren't happening in other countries. And this time, children? WHEN WILL OUR "LEADERS" PUT AN END TO THIS INSANITY?

A country that does nothing about gun control while witnessing the mass killings of innocent precious life, MUST wake up! Shattered.

Shocked and saddened by what happened today in Connecticut. We have to stop the access to guns in our country.

I'm appalled by today's shooting. The only reasonable reaction is to completely overhaul gun control policy. Anything else is disgraceful.

Fuck the NRA and the cowardly politicians who refuse to do a single goddamn thing about gun violence in America.

Yeah, I'll wade right the fuck into this: MORE gun control, MORE mental health services. It's no longer a debate. Never was. #newtown

I know everybody's sending prayers out now but when will we get beyond prayers and get to real, effective action?

I love how Americans think gun control, universal health care, etc, are SO TERRIBLE but they work so well in every other developed country.

For crying out loud.. Why not at least try gun control for some time and see if it works? We can always go back!
