While white-steepled churches and President Barack Obama prepared to comfort a grieving town Sunday, federal agents planned to fan out to dozens of gun stores and shooting ranges across Connecticut, chasing leads they hoped would cast light on the life of school shooter Adam Lanza.
Among the questions to be answered: Why did his mother, a well-to-do suburban divorcée, keep a cache of high-power weapons in the house? What experience did Lanza have with those guns? And, above all, what set him on a path to shoot and kill 20 children, along with the adults who tried to stop him? …

Which s why the Second Amendment uses the term “ARMS” and doesn’t use the term “Muskets”.
My Lib B-I-L brings up the technology of the day (Muskets)when discussing the Second Amendment. I asked him where the word “internet” is listed in the First Amendment.
End of discussion, which was fine by me.
Why are federal agents doing ANYTHING on this case?
Pray tell, exactly what is a “cache”, and what is considered a “high powered weapon”, a Phaser, Disrupter, Death Star?
If that was a cache, my Family must own a National Guard Armory.
I don't know, but I think there are generally at least a dozen golf clubs in a set, and they're not called a "cache". The question of the power of the 5.56 NATO cartridge has been debated since it's introduction. I don't think you'd want to try hunting big game with it. As is typical, the press doesn't know what it's writing about and has no interest in learning.
:Among the questions to be answered: Why did his mother, a well-to-do suburban divorcée, keep a cache of high-power weapons in the house? :
Because it was her right.
“And, above all, what set him on a path to shoot and kill 20 children, along with the adults who tried to stop him?”
Because he was a sick, evil bastard created by a society that abandoned all social norms and standards of Judaeo-Christian morality and ethics.
How about the psyco son purchasing the arms under his mother’s name for his use?
“They pretty much say right out loud in the news reports that it was the divorce that precipitated this catastrophe”
We should ban divorce “it’s for the children”.
(/sarcasm off)
You know, I am wondering if Adam Lanza was seeing the same school psychologist that was there, and died at Sandy Hook elementary.
Now that you mention that Adam’s mother had battled with the school district it could lead me to believe that that battle may have had to do with his “mental health” in some way and maybe Adam blamed his Mom and the district for messing with his head.
Question is. Was someone messing with his head?
Has it been reported if the shooter was taking ADD or ADHD drugs throughout his childhood?
“And, above all, what set him on a path to shoot and kill 20 children, along with the adults who tried to stop him? “
No adult who lived in America 50 or more years ago would have any problem understanding the inescapable effects degraded deviant culture will eventually have.

I haven’t heard that he was, but he may have. Some of those drugs they give them make for very dark moods.
I have seen it first hand. And if they get off the drugs, they become really wild.
Another thing. Many times the kid may have Aspbergers and they are treated with ADHD drugs. They are also pale and seem to have dark circles under the eyes.
In the photos he looked very thin. While on the meds they don’t eat properly. If taken off the meds, they gain weight and look healthier.
Was someone messing with his head?
Have you seen his pictures? I tell you he looks like a nut to me.
“cache of high-power weapons in the house?”
3 is a “cache”?
Look, when the dad leaves, the mom needs protection. If she turns to a gun, who can blame her sheesh
you are correct the selfish dad left to pursue tail and the kids suffer the most as is always the case
One thing that bothers me. I heard on FOX today that each of those kids had been shot at least eleven times.
They said there were two handguns found and a rifle in the car.
How did two guns do all that is such a short time frame because at the first shots, there were people in the school calling the cops?
Yes. An "arsenal" is 4.
‘cause you are! He had this already figured out.
Looks like all his books are going to play out in a way.
Why did his mother, a well-to-do suburban divorcée, keep a cache of high-power weapons in the house?
Why not?
