Answer :

He also tried to bring a fraud charge against some parents. It is sickening. I think it is less about “not believing” than it is about trying to undermine the the argument for more strict gun control. My BIL, who lives 3000 miles away in another country, sent me an email, 3 weeks after the shooting, explaining how it had been misrepresented by the liberal press in order to promote an anti-gun agenda. I live a few miles away. I know someone who lost her grandchild at Sandy Hook, and a relative of one of the teachers. I no longer speak to my BIL. Today I am very glad that a few former users of Fluther are no longer around.
