I realize that its a tragedy and most parents are caught in a nightmare. Lanza’s mother KNEW he was seriously disturbed, admitted it, yet taught him to shoot! That’s making things worse. She tried to ‘normalize’ him and it was them against the world. The fact is there are people who will NEVER be normal, and who are dangerous to themselves and others. For them we MUST have isolation and treatment. First our society has to admit such people are dangerous-then have the guts to deal with it. Until then, THEY are free, and our children and public areas must be guarded. It’s backwards.
I agree that if you have a mentally ill person in the house, allowing them free access to firearms is folly.
