As more is learned about the 20 year-old mass-murderer ... and his instability & mental-illnesses ... gun control may require immediate (Govt.) action and not just a non-meaningful (congressional) discussion ... Connecticut Shooter Adam Lanza ~ 'Obviously Not Well' http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/connecticut-shooter-adam-lanza/story?id=17975673 Adam Lanza of Newtown, Connecticut was a child of the suburbs and a child of divorce who at age 20 still lived with his mother. This morning he appears to have started his day by shooting his mother Nancy in the face, and then driving to nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School armed with at least two handguns and at least one semi-automatic rifle. There, before turning his gun on himself, he shot and killed 20 children, who President Obama later described as between five and 10 years of age. Six adults were also killed at the school. Nancy Lanza was found dead in her home. A relative told ABC News that Adam was "obviously not well." Family friends in Newtown also described the young man as troubled and described Nancy as very rigid. "[Adam] was not connected with the other kids," said one friend. State and federal authorities believe his mother may have once worked at the elementary school where Adam went on his deadly rampage, although she was not a teacher, according to relatives, perhaps a volunteer. Nancy and her husband Peter, Adam's father, divorced in 2009. When they first filed for divorce in 2008, a judge ordered that they participate in a "parenting education program." Peter Lanza, who drove to northern New Jersey to talk to police and the FBI, is a vice president at GE Capital and had been a partner at global accounting giant Ernst & Young. Adam's older brother Ryan Lanza, 24, has worked at Ernst & Young for four years, apparently following in his father's footsteps and carving out a solid niche in the tax practice. He too was interviewed by the FBI. Neither he nor his father is under any suspicion. "[Ryan] is a tax guy and he is clean as a whistle," a source familiar with his work said. Police had initially identified Ryan as the killer. Ryan sent out a series of Facebook posts saying it wasn't him and that he was at work all day. Video records as well as card swipes at Ernst & Young verified his statement that he had been at the office. Investigators are looking into whether Adam Lanza was carrying his older brother Ryan's identification at the time of the shooting, which may have caused the confusion. Neither Adam nor Ryan has any known criminal history. Adam Lanza is seen in this 2005 photo
I dunno ... I myself would like to see an up-to-date photo to assess wether or not he looked like a menace ... the kind of a menace that would enter a kindergarten and shoot all the 5-year-olds all point-blank in the head ... I think this is precedence ... Manson and all the other mass-murderers wouldn't even go there.
It's a shame he killed himself. A lifetime of extreme torture would have been a much preferred outcome for this piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) mother(*)(*)(*)(*)er
Really? Well, in that case.....This is all Obama's fault....never would have happened if Romney had won the election....enjoy.
WHY ? You mean that's all it takes.For some unbalanced person to commit an atrocity. BTW ... what's yer excuse for Box cutters.Because those who boarded 2 huge Airliners never packed any gun.On day 9/11. Of course you've thought this thru ... right.
Ayuh,.... It's already Illegal to steal yer Mom's guns, 'n shoot her in the face,... Do you think Adam, or any other Nut Case, is worried 'bout any more laws,... Murder once, or 27 times is still Murder... already Illegal....
Depends ... just when I thought tea partiers hitting Americas most evil-vile-low in wanting to charge women with capital murder for the murder of a zygote ... we have a young man executing 5 year-olds amongst thier favorite Dr. Suess books ... just before Christmas ...
Kids have broken families, no role models, faith, or responsibility nowadays. And we wonder why this (*)(*)(*)(*) happens.
Least you are showing your true colors i know what to expect from you from here on out. And he was 20 which is old enough to legally own guns. But they were not his which makes your point moot.
If I were a Christian, or otherwise theistic, I'd probably take issue with that t-shirt making god out to be a liar.
If anything, u should be outraged at how the media portrays this guy. They refer to his education and have people quoting him as saying he was a nice and quiet guy. U think if he was someone of a racial, ethnic, or religious minority u would have the media quoting them as saying this. The only politically correct thing is that he is not being demonized b.c white is right.
Unless it's court-ordered, anyone who's 18+ can't be forced - has to be voluntarily.... that's why unmedicated paranoid schizo Loughner was still free - he was around 20 and nothing his parents could do.
Ahhhh .. Guns & Bibles ... here you go ... Newtown Shooting No Surprise, We've 'Systematically Removed God' From Schools ~ Goober Hacksterby http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/14/mike-huckabee-school-shooting_n_2303792.html "We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage ?" This line of reasoning isn't new for Huckabee. Speaking about a mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. over the summer, the former GOP presidential candidate claimed that such violent episodes were a function of a nation suffering from the removal of religion from the public sphere. "We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem," Huckabee said on Fox News. "And since we've ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose."
If they're under 18 and under parental supervision, they can be if a professional states they are a danger - over 18, forget it. Then the only way they're locked up is when they commit a crime........
It's a little bit deeper than that ... you see, what Goober Hacksterby is essentially saying is ... is that because America doesn't have the tea party christian faith in its heart ... God sent a mentally-ill young man to execute your children ... while they were just getting started on the mornings' projects of Lincoln Logs, Legos and playdough ... Good work Goober.
