Adam Lanza planned the murders for years....

And his mother let it happen.

One clue would have been the "7 foot long, 4 foot wide spreadsheet that displayed obsessively researched information - in nine-point font - concerning "virtually every mass murder" in the U.S. and abroad." that he had.

Now are we going to see the media and Congress and President Obama try to identify the best way to prevent such a failure happening again?
A crazy kid obviously obsessed with body counts and the sensationalism of violence and a parent who didn't stop it?
Or are we going to see them make little speeches about little ideas that don't even add up to little jack squat?

I’m sure it will be propaganda as per usual.

Solving the problem of violence in this country is far too complicated for government to handle, so it’s the usual as usual.

well, I sort of suspected this sort of thing, and that was the reason I emphasized background checks to include the members of the owner's household. I also feel that this information doesn't change the whole dynamic of the gun violence issue a bit.

No, it doesn't have much at all to do with our 'gun violence' problem. Maybe even as little to do with it as assault rifles do....

And by the way slick, your reaction, in spite of your suspicions to the real problem, were to call for severe loss of freedoms to all of us not just gun safes and better background checks!
So if you suspected he was an obvious threat that could have been stopped by the responsible adults in his life why go on a major rant about assault weapons and how 'we only need shotguns' and 'no one needs to have permission to carry a pistol for self defense', etc. etc.

Politically opportunistic? "Don't let the opportunity of a tragedy go to waste"?

And now we have that vile little man by the name of Reid stating the 7 marines who died in a training exercise at a base in his state, was caused by cutbacks in Sequestration. So once again we have the left using a tragedy to promote a political agenda. Nice bunch you hang around with slick
