I blame Adam Lanza's mother.

CT has some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation including a 24 hr waiting period. If the guns were registered to her, she was the person who bought those guns.

The point of the blame game is to try to prevent future tragedies. People try to blame the convenient culprit, guns. But if people took responsibility for themselves, their families, and their neighborhood, tragedies could be averted.

I know every one of my neighbors in my one block radius. Bet you anything not one of them is a terrorist. I can also tell you that none of my kids or neighbors kids will kill people. Why? Because I, and people in my family and neighborhood have awareness.

Nearly Every one of these recent tragedies could have been avoided, such as that batman killer guy, because the signs were there-people didnt act on the signs.

I believe a good approach would be to hold parents accountable up to a certain age. Remember that kid from bethesda who was making bombs in his garage or something? i seem to recall the parents were held accountable. (Though cant recall the details.). This is a good start. Would be more effective than gun control.

You're a dangerous moron who thinks he can read other's minds, that much is true. People are capable of almost anything. Germans in the 1930's knew their neighbors in a one block radius, too.

I dont understand the aversion to the pp. There's quotes in the New York Times of a neighbor that says something like no one really knew her - only rang her bell at Halloween. The lack of a sense of community and knowing your neighbors is a problem. Its always these loners too. Upon reflection everyone seems to say they weren't surprised. Maintaining a connection with members of your community is the first defense and ultimately easier to implement then new laws or overreactions. I honestly don't see how explaining this is worthy of being labeled a moron. And, I bet you as expert sociologists are consulted you will hear a lot more about it. Guns have been available forever in this country but its only recently that these crazy events have been occurring. We need to address the problem.

Oh yeah, semi-automatic weapons have been around "forever." I think I even saw them painted in the tombs in Egypt, they're that ancient.

I can tell by your sarcasm you sare not interested in a higher level serious discussion over how to address this issue.
Whether he used a semi automatic or a pump shotgun from forty years ago could have had the same result - he was using them against children. So the type of gum is not relevant to the point that something in our culture has changed.

24 hr waiting period. Wow that's a tough gun control law. OMFG.

It's a serious sacrifice. I mean, what if I need a gun immediately to kill my spouse or shoot a bunch of innocent people? Total bullshit. I also don't like the fact that I can only purchase 45 guns a month or something like that. See, I'm a gun enthusiast. I love having that power in my hands since I'm powerless and a total failure in all other aspects of my life. But damn, I can hit a bullseye.

Make it a crime to hide mentally ill and allow the authorities to commit them more easily.

Are you joking?

New poster. I saw on the news that Lanza may have used his mother's id to purchase these weapons. He didn't have to buy them in Connecticut. He could have driven easily to several other states. And is it true that you can purchase weapons online?

Name calling isn't going to help. I assume your the parent whose daughter is having lots of premarital sex and your son will kill people because you obviously lack any ability at learning about others.

Wow, I would hate to be your neighbor.

If a 20-year-old man was able to purchase weapons with a 45-year-old woman's ID, methinks there are some serious federal charges coming to whomever sold it to him under those circumstances.

I don't recall this case but agree we should start a pilot program - parents in Bethesda should be held criminally accountable for DC's behaviour. We'll go from there.

Wrong! The firearm transfer has to be handled through a Federal Firearms License holder (FFL). The transaction is face to face with a photo ID required. Some states (perhaps all) require a background check (NICS - FBI) before transferring.
