■アメリカ版「ニュータウンから98日、2244人が死んだ」(3月22日)

小学生ら26人が犠牲となったコネティカット州ニュータウンの銃乱射事件から1年が経った。この間、全米で銃による犯罪はやむことがなかった。ハフィントンポストは、連邦議会がこの事件以降、何の動きも見せておらず、銃犯罪がアメリカ全土で大量発生していることを重ねて指摘してきた。

記事「銃に支配された国民、ニュータウン以後、何千人もの銃の犠牲者」では、銃犯罪による犠牲者の生前の横顔や、亡くなった当時の様子を紹介している。

私たちはニュータウンの悲劇以降に起きた銃による死亡事件について、全米のニュースをすべて調べ、報じられているものはすべてデータマップに落とし込んだ。マウスを合わせると、一つ一つの事件で亡くなった人の名前が表示されるようになっている。

\"I wish to God she had had an m-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out ... and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids,\" Gohmert said of slain principal Dawn Hochsprung on Fox News Sunday. He argued that shooters often choose schools because they know people will be unarmed. (credit:WikiMedia:)

\"If people were armed, not just a police officer, but other school officials that were trained and chose to have a weapon, certainly there would be an opportunity to stop an individual trying to get into the school,\" he told WTOP\'s \"Ask the Governor\" show Tuesday, warning that Washington may respond to such a policy with a \"knee-jerk reaction.\" (credit:WikiMedia:)

Gov. Haslam says he will consider a Tennessee plan to secretly arm and train some teachers, TPM reports. The legislation will be introduced by State Sen. Frank Niceley (R) next month. \n\n\"Say some madman comes in. The first person he would probably try to take out was the resource officer. But if he doesn’t know which teacher has training, then he wouldn’t know which one had [a gun],\" Niceley told TPM. \"These guys are obviously cowards anyway and if someone starts shooting back, they’re going to take cover, maybe go ahead and commit suicide like most of them have.\" (credit:AP)

State Rep. Mark McCullough (R) told the Tulsa World he plans to file legislation that would bring guns into schools, calling their absence \"irresponsible.\" \n\n“It is incredibly irresponsible to leave our schools undefended – to allow mad men to kill dozens of innocents when we have a very simple solution available to us to prevent it,\" he said. \"I’ve been considering this proposal for a long time. In light of the savagery on display in Connecticut, I believe it’s an idea whose time has come.\"\n\nSen. Ralph Shortey (R) told the Tulsa World that teachers should carry concealed weapons at school events. \"Allowing teachers and administrators with concealed-carry permits the ability to have weapons at school events would provide both a measure of security for students and a deterrent against attackers,\" he said.

Baxley, who once sponsored Florida\'s controversial Stand Your Ground law, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that keeping guns out of schools makes them a target for attacks.\n\n“We need to be more realistic at looking at this policy,\" he said. \"In our zealousness to protect people from harm we’ve created all these gun-free zones and what we’ve inadvertently done is we’ve made them a target. A helpless target is exactly what a deranged person is looking for where they cannot be stopped.” (credit:AP)

In an email obtained by Gawker and excerpted below, Richardson tells three superintendents that he could have saved lives had he been armed and in Sandy Hook on Friday:\n\n
If I had been a teacher or the principal at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and if the school district did not preclude me from having access to a firearm, either by concealed carry or locked in my desk, most of the murdered children would still be alive, and the gunman would still be dead, and not by suicide.\n...\n[O]ur children\'s safety depends on having a number of well-trained school employees on every campus who are prepared to defend our children and save their lives?

\"And I\'m not so sure -- and I\'m sure I\'ll get mail for this -- I\'m not so sure I wouldn\'t want one person in a school armed, ready for this kind of thing,\" Bennett, who served as education secretary under Ronald Reagan, told Meet the Press Sunday. \"The principal lunged at this guy. The school psychologist lunged at the guy. It has to be someone who\'s trained, responsible. But, my god, if you can prevent this kind of thing, I think you ought to.\" (credit:Getty Images)
