In both Connecticut and Oregon, the guns were stolen by 20 year olds. A clear failure to properly lock up the guns. I’m curious if the Newtown mom bought the guns for her ‘autistic’ son. In both cases, the kids came from broken homes.
Let’s not blame the mother, who is also a victim here.
Perhaps he was just fed up with a mother who would not let him have his way on something. Mother dead.
Menendez brothers come to mind.

Don’t know about if she bought any guns for Adam but according to this and other articles I’ve read she owned guns, collected, etc. One article I read is that Adam tried a few days ago to buy a rifle but couldn’t or didn’t because of the waiting time.

Nancy Lanza legally owned a Sig Sauer and a Glock, both handguns of models commonly used by police, and a military-style Bushmaster .223 M4 carbine, according to law enforcement officials who also believe Adam Lanza used at least some of those weapons.
“We’re investigating the history of each and every weapon and we will know every single thing about those weapons,” Vance said.
Nancy Lanza was an avid gun collector who once showed him a “really nice, high-end rifle” that she had purchased, said Dan Holmes, owner of a landscaping business who recently decorated her yard with Christmas garlands and lights. “She said she would often go target shooting with her kids.”

The mother had five guns registered to her name, two of which Adam Lanza used to carry out the execution-style killings
Connecticut law does not require that guns be kept “locked up,” just unloaded. Even if locked up, it’s not like a 20 year-old can’t figure out how to unlock them (unless they’re in a safe).
