And here I thought Flashman kicked the bucket about 100 years ago.

The old boy is amazing!

I’ve known of firearms enthusiasts who have committed suicide rather than be served a mental health committment and therefore banned from possession.

Let us see if Fox is the sole outlet for this possible motive...

We need to send congratulations, along with Christmas cards to the ACLU in honor of their murderous stupidity over denying this mother a way of easily committing her son.

Common sense apparently isn't that common.

If you have someone in your house on anti psychotic meds, and you think they really need to be committed.

LOCK UP YOUR GUNS.

A good gun safe is not that expensive.

See, what we need to do is not commit people and they won’t have this fear and won’t go nuts.

Of course they are already nuts

This must be what they found on his person...what they referred to early on as something that goes to "motive"....some type of info relating to committal.

So was he on Meds?? Seeing a pysciatrist?

He did this in lieu of committal?

Sounds like preventable considering he was at the school the day before. LE should have definitely been notified. Maybe the court was asking the school for records.

Of course he did the crime....but we have to look at our system and LISTEN to parents as real people....

I read she was trying to get him into college to study engineering and was willing to move with him. So many different stories. I doubt we’ll never know the truth.

Sounds like a great excuse to stop talking about mental illness and get back to the banning of guns.

These days the government forces kids to be adults at 18. A few decades ago, a disturbed or emotionally unstable kid could have his parents do things like pay for stuff and handle medical issues.

Now, though, medical issues cannot be discussed with parents once the kid turns 18 (like a psychologist or psychiatrist can no longer chat with parents). Financial issues likewise, the kid must handle that too. Bank accounts become viewable only by the kid.

Conservatorship is about the only way a parent of an AS or Autistic or Down kid can stay in the loop and handle things the kid has difficulty with.

In a sick and diseased brain involuntary commitment to a psych hospital (or any facility,for that matter) could be enough.

a conservatorship would also be needed for her to set up a special needs trust fund and have a guardian always manage Adam’s financial affairs

the ex husband should be aware if this

as a parent ages they have to think of future arrangements for an adult disabled child

of course, he might have misinterpreted her motives

if she thought he was dangerous she would have had her door locked and guns beside her bed with her... perhaps she did

That’s convincing. I now believe it was the crazy man’s motive.

He went to the school the day before and there was an “altercation”, there had to be a reason for that, so this makes sense if true.

So let me get this straight...

Momma is the one who taught him how to shoot (she was a big firearms enthusiast). And even after she saw that he was unstable, continued to take him shooting.

Momma initiates legal action to have him committed for being unstable and likely a danger... yet does absolutely nothing to secure here weapons where he cannot access them...

And she (along with 20 children and 6 school faculty) paid with their lives.

But it is still the GUN’s fault...

No - this is a case of irresponsibility. He tried to buy a gun but failed (Dick’s actually followed the law - though now they are halting sales of similar firearms, folding to the Marxists), but his mom was an accomplice to his acts.

It wasn’t Aspergers or “Autism Spectrum Disorder” that killed 27 people plus the perp. It was Adam Lanza who made the decision, and his mother who aided and abetted by failing to secure her weapons from her dangerous son.
