Killer’s Mother, His First Victim, Was a Gun Enthusiast, Friends Say
NY Times ^ | 12/15/12

She often went to a local restaurant and music spot, My Place, where she sat at the bar, according to a manager there who gave her name only as Louise. Ms. Lanza typically came to My Place alone, said another acquaintance, Dan Holmes, owner of Holmes Fine Gardens, a landscaping company in Newtown, who also met her at the bar.

At craft beer tastings on Tuesday evenings, he recalled, she liked to talk about her gun collection.

“She had several different guns,” he said. “I don’t know how many. She would go target shooting with her kids.”

Law enforcement officials said they believed that the guns were acquired lawfully and registered.

The authors of this piece deserve your apology, IMHO. (imardmd1)

I can guarantee you that won't happen. (JohnBrowdie)

Well, I'm glad I did not follow your example in not even looking at the article before passing judgment. Perhaps it would improve your public image to read it through and then offer your critique.

NY Times is not a rag I would usually want to read, either; but in this case, the writers seem to have given some depth to the information with no particular slant of demonizing Mrs. Lanza's lifestyle, marital status, parenting capability, or familiarity with firearms. It does present the view I have not seen elsewhere, that her brother is a respected LEO.

26 plus himself. Yeah, you’re jumping to conclusions because you don’t know diddly squat as far as facts. Yesterday it was reported his brother was the killer, his mother was a teacher and such. Facts today aren’t much better. You don’t know anything you haven’t seen on tv (how accurate was that?) and neither does anyone else. Yeah you jumped at conclusions

The communist party USA has been using cultural Marxism to target our American family and religion in order to wear us down. The far left social democrats should address the cultural Marxism that is destroying our country leading to the type of carnage we all witnessed in Sandy Hook.

If people want to keep up with what is happening to our country and why, I urge them to watch this movie...

Thanks so much for your advice. I'm so grateful that you have taken time to unload from your great store of wisdom and insight. I'm sure you're a great help to such lesser-gifted folks. Ciao.

Her guns didn’t seem to help her. She should have had a concealed carry permit. That would have saved 28 lives.

To say that the young man was not well is a simple conclusion for anyone. I have not watched any TV coverage. Only FR.
