ABC News, December 14, 2012 Connecticut gun rampage: 28 dead, including 20 schoolchildren.
An emotional President Obama said the nation has "endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years and we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."
As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it's an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora or a street corner in Chicago -- these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children.
Obama did not mention the rampage killing in the Arizona Safeway parking lot last year.
Operation Safe - Way

November 7, 2012. The man who killed six people and wounded 13 others in the Gabriel Gifford’s Arizona shooting rampage was sentenced to seven consecutive life terms, followed by 140 years in prison.
The official story of Jared Lee Loughner’s killing rampage last year is so unbelievable that you have to wonder if it was an Alien Entertainment production about the most unrealistic assassination that humans on Earth would believe.
Think about it. Was Loughner insane when he went on a suicide mission at Gabby’s Meet and Greet, or was he sane when he told a judge he would rather spend 140 years in prison than take the chance a jury would find him not guilty, by reason of insanity?
The Loughner/Giffords debacle was either "Operation Safeway," a full scale Department of Homeland Security planned drill, a staged MK-Ultra “false-flag” event, or the latest episode of Assassination TV for aliens living on the planet Mars.
Rebels have threatened to storm two predominantly Christian towns in central Syria, saying regime forces are using them to attack nearby areas, an activist group said Saturday. It says such an attack could force thousands of Christians from their homes. (Image: White House Web Page, headlines added)
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that one rebel group has issued an ultimatum to the towns of Mahrada and Sqailbiyeh in the province of Hama.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said some Christians and Alawis have also left Hama province in the past several days to escape violence. He said some of them found shelter in the coastal city of Tartus.
