Only some one who lacks understanding would think there is a flaw in pointing out Newtown as a reason for more gun safety.

ok. See if you can follow this, it will be difficult to get past your inate bias, but try:

Fact: Connecticut has the 2nd toughest gun laws. (source - your post)
Fact: Connecticut is 6th in lowest gun death rate. (source - your post)
Fact: Sandy Hook Elementary, is in Newtown, which is in Connecticut(World map)
Fact: The gun used was a registered and legally obtained and kept weapon(all substantiated reports)
FACT: THE MURDERER BROKE THE LAW TO OBTAIN THE GUN (and by extrapolation, would have broken any law written to obtain the gun)

some more interesting information:
here is a link to the 25 Deadliest Mass Shootings in U.S. History Fast Facts - CNN.com.

and the top 5 toughest gun law states as rated by BradyCampaign.org with their number of shootings, and number of people killed in each:
California 3-8,13,21
Conn 2-27,8
NJ 0-0
Md 1-12
NY 1-13

and the bottom 5, or weakest gun law states as rated by BradyCampaign.org, again with number of shootings and number of people killed in each:
Utah 0-0
Arizona 0-0
Alaska 1-8
Okla 1-14
NDakota 0-0

Texas had 3(13,18,23) and ranked 39th.
Colorado and VA both had 2, ranked 15th, and 19th respectively.

Did Conn pass the laws before or after Newtown ?

1) people can still buy guns in Conn
2) No one has had any guns confiscated
3)No ones second amendment rights were harmed

............see if your innate bias can comprehend that .

apparently yours could not.

are you suggesting that before the Newtown shooting Connecticut's gun laws were not on the stricter side? I used your source, so I don't know when that images stats were taken. Do you?
