The parents of two children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre have had enough of Alex Jones accusing them of being "crisis actors."

Two defamation lawsuits were filed on Monday against the InfoWars host, accusing Jones, a popular conspiracy theorist who has claimed the 2012 shooting was a hoax, of peddling lies that have resulted in death threats.

The lawsuits — filed by Neil Heslin (above, right), the father of a 6-year-old boy killed in the shooting, and Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, whose child Noah was also killed — are seeking more than $1 million in damages from Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems LLC.

Mark Bankston, the lawyer handling the cases for the parents, told HuffPost:

Steps are finally being taken to protect our children from gun violence!

It's been nearly four months since Adam Lanza murdered 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School — today Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed a bill aimed at preventing similar tragedies.

The law bans the sale of over 100 different guns and also magazines, such as the ones Adam used, that hold more than ten rounds.

Connecticut House majority leader Joe Aresimowicz is proud of the new legislation. He said

This is just horrible.

Adam Lanza killed 26 people and then himself in December. It turns out he hoped to kill many, many more.

Law enforcement investigators believe the young man responsible for the mass-murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School planned to outdo the Norwegian man who killed 77 people in 2011.

When Charlie Sheen thinks you're cuckoo, it's time to look in the mirror!

The Anger Management star and noted warlock joins Piers Morgan tonight on, oddly enough, Piers Morgan Tonight and discusses everything from Lance Armstrong's legacy of lies to the heated debate on assault weapons.

Ch-ch-check out the promo for tonight's episode (above), where Charlie admits he once collected guns and shot at targets in his basement!

Police forced him to forfeit the weapons after his "domestic," but the actor says he barely misses them.

He also dares the money-hungry NRA lobbyists to look a Sandy Hook victim's parents in the eye and explain to them precisely why people should have access to the deadly assault rifles that killed their child.

Hmm, maybe we've had too much tiger blood for breakfast, but he makes several good points!

Charlie Sheen for Congress?? ….Nah.

We applaud Piers for continuing to focus on this epidemic of violence as we continue to extend our well-wishes to all those affected.
