Also notice what the headline is in the Daily News...
"Two charged in Webster home invasion"

Rather, consider what it is not and should be...
"Young man uses firearm to save family"


Spin and obfuscation. I bet The Daily didn't even want to print it in the first place.

I really don't like how you and Alex Jones are using this tragic story for purely political reasons. It seems very cold-hearted on your part. This was still an extremely traumatic event in these people's lives. This event sounds so bad, I think if I was in their position I'd rather be dead. You guys seem completely un-sympathetic.

You might respond that the "liberal media" does it too, so it's okay for you too. But there's a difference. From what I've seen, when liberals use stories for agendas, they usually feel bad about the event that occurred. e.g. Many people cried about the Sandy hook event.

I sense absolutely no sympathy from your post!

i couldn't help but laugh out loud at this weak attempt of downplaying the OP.

Interesting how in almost all of the pro-2nd amendment threads on ATS (and I am most decidedly, vehemently PRO 2nd Amendment) the op and posters use it as an opportunity to do their best to slander liberals and progressives at the same time. This is not a partisan issue. There are plenty of ignorant conservatives who consider the constitution a "piece of paper" and would love to take your guns. I have 4 card-carrying Republicans in my family who hold up Sandy Hook like some kind of banner and demand we "protect the babies from these gun carrying criminals"

Of course, when I point out that law abiding citizens don't murder people with their legally purchased guns I'm completely ignored.

It's supposed to be us (the people) against them (the government). Not us against each other, and every time you ramp up the divisive rhetoric that divides us that just gives them (the government) more opportunity to oppress us. Also, it makes you look like a bigot.

i don't think it's cold or hearless at all...it's simply being said "hey, firearms can be used in a positive way too. not all owners are criminals". How are they using this for politics?

the MSM, and corrupt politicians are using 20 dead children to push illegal infringement of the people's rights. do you not find THAT disgusting? what's more, so you not find the ACT they put on, to make the people think they give a crap even MORE disgusting?
