You are taking a small part of what happens occasionally in a town/municipality and making it the entire basis for something else - which doesn't really stand up in the grand scheme of the way things work.

No system is foolproof - no hospital, no fire department, no government, no bank, no fast food joint, no legal system, no child care, no school, no web site, no police department. It does not mean the systems themselves do not work or that the great majority of people will not be taken care of correctly.

So the courts say we cannot sue the police department for an occasional failure - that's a terrible thing, I agree - but then again, the courts have also decreed that we cannot sue the gun manufacturers, either, should they occasionally fail - do you agree that's a terrible thing, too?

This is a video. I couldn't agree more with him. If I ever see him when I am in Newtown...I am shaking this man's hand!

Bill Stevens-Sandy Hook Father: Viral video of gun-rights defender isn't actually of a father of a Sandy Hook student.

As impassioned as his Charlton Heston-quoting testimony was, what's so noteworthy about his speech—and likely the reason he's become something of a hero to Second Amendment supporters this week—is the fact that he is, in the words of a whole host of conservative media, a "Sandy Hook father."

The problem, as you've no doubt guessed by now, is that Stevens is not actually the father of a Sandy Hook student. Victoria is a fifth-grader at Reed Intermediate School, located about a mile or so from the elementary school that was the scene of the tragic mass shooting
