Lanza, as we all know by now had serious issues, IGNORED by his medical PROFESSIONALS and FAMILY. He was a nut, and should have been treated as such...
His mother was an enabler allowing him to 'hoard' and I use that loosely, all that worthless crap. 6 guns doesn't even count as a collection. Media spin.
The media loves to use words like arsenal and Assault rifle.
Webster's definition of arsenal; Definition of ARSENAL
1 a: an establishment for the manufacture or storage of arms and military equipment b : a collection of weapons
2 :store, repertoire <the team's arsenal of veteran players>
more media spin, to provoke a reaction. Just dirty laundry....
Obama jumped at the chance to play it up, and push his anti gun agenda, that in his first term, swore he would not do....go figure.
He should devote as much energy towards the wastefull spending and less Gov'ment intrusion into our lives...
Socialist.
The public will NEVER know if the weapon used was a pistol, or the rifle, because the spin was a rifle....so it sticks....I personally would like to see the REAL official report. And what ever happened to the initial reports of the police catching someone else in the woods around the school......that just went away too.
26 senseless deaths caused my an INSANE person who used a tool, to perpetrate evil.
So punish the law abiders for the crimes of others.......makes sense....
Someone spoke of a loved one lost to a drunk driver.
Eye for an eye in my book. The drunk should be punished SEVERELY for the loss of life or injury to another...
My wife's grandparents were attacked by their health care live in with a 22 ounce Estwing claw hammer. She was bent on KILLING them, and stealing their money. She tied up and systematically beat her grandfather while demanding the grandmother tell where the money was.....
He got loose and with what little strength he had left fought her off.
She was convicted and was killed in prison.....what a shame......NOT!
Should we outlaw hammers....it's another tool.
As a society we have gotten soft and sloppy.
in a year, this will be forgotten and we'll be bombarded with the next media spin of stool.
Do unto others.......you know it.
Eye for an eye......you betcha
I'm a gun lovin' ammo hoardin' animal huntin', target shootin', non bunny-huggin-non vegan Conservative!!!!!
Don't like it, too bad.

Oh well, sorry it wasn't large enough for you. What a shame. Maybe he could have killed 75 people instead.
According to the crime scene report, it took only 5 minutes to get in, kill the kids and teachers, and off himself.
5 minutes.
