    Well, i'm only aware of one prevailing argument for gun control attributed to situations involving the mentally ill. I'm sorry if you have a new radical concept that you've neglected to outline in your OP.

    Schools, the Oregon Mall and the Cinemark were all posted "gun free" zones. They should just change the sign to say "killers welcome, no one will oppose you".

    He didn't buy the guns. He was refused by Dick's Sporting Goods because he refused to go through a background check and didn't want to wait the required length of time. His STUPID family did. Now, how utterly STUPID is that to bring guns into your home when you have a 20-year old unstable person living there?

    BTW, you want new laws. I think there should be new laws that anytime someone like this comes in to purchase a gun, refuses to have a background check on them, and doesn't want to wait for the required wait time.....they should be turned in and checked out by the police. Both things he didn't want to do should raise red flags.

    And BTW, why is it the press is choosing to print these OLD pictures that makes it look like he was currently a young kid? He wasn't. He was 20 years old. That's all about creating sympathy for him, IMO. And that should also stop. I have ZERO sympathy for this mass murderer.

    You have a point ... it looks like mom may have been a tea partier ..



    Mom was avid gun enthusiast

    http://openchannel.nbcnews.com/_new...-die-was-avid-gun-enthusiast-friend-says?lite


    NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The mother of the suspected Sandy Hook Elementary School gunman, herself slain at the outset of the murderous rampage, was an avid gun enthusiast who liked to take her sons to the shooting range to practice their marksmanship, a friend tells NBC News.


    Dan Holmes, a local landscaper and a friend of Nancy Lanza, mother of 20-year-old suspected gunman Adam Lanza, said she also was a collector.

    “She had a pretty extensive gun collection,” Holmes said.
    “She was a collector, she was pretty proud of that.
    She always mentioned that she really loved the act of shooting.”


    Holmes recalled that she said she was able to “focus in” while shooting.

    Holmes, Nancy Lanza’s friend, said the 47-year-old single mother also frequently talked about how she was worried about Adam.

    The door was locked and he forced his way in, do try and get your facts straight. The solution is a police officer or two at the door, problem solved.

    he didn't force his way in, an office worker admitted to buzzing him in.

    And look at the Trayvon Martin photo. The media had an updated photo of him, but they mostly showed him as a kid.

    Seriously.

    Google "how to make explosives from household materials"


    Not to mention... everyone has access to gasoline.

    show me some evidence lanza ever planned to make a bomb


    you're clutching at straws, i don't think lanza was planning anything

    i think he had a fit and grabbed a gun, if it hadn't been there he might have cooled down

    There is one quote by an anonymous poster in the area that proves, if true, that it was planned. You cannot state either way unless you know more so yours is just opinion.

    if it was planned, there would likely be some evidence of that



    yea, the system worked that time

    and if his mother hadn't had those guns, he couldn't have done what he did, so easily

    i was thinking about that one too, but the Russians contributed to the body count on that...and it not being in the US was another strike against it.
