Adam Lanza was 20, and apparently a bright young man. He had obvious mental issues. He could’ve owned his own guns, but he didn’t need to. He used his mother’s guns.
She obviously had a gun permit. Adam Lanza shot his mother then took her guns, went to Sandy Hook Elementary and shot 20 kids and six adults. He didn’t need to own a gun.
He used his mother’s guns.
Gun control supporters are going to use this horrible incident to push for more gun control.
Any more gun control, even taking guns away, will be useless. These gun control advocates can say the Constitution was meant for another time, for militias, or whatever. But even if they take guns away, or try to, gun control won’t work. Adam Lanza proved it.
He used his mother’s guns.
Recently on Fox News Megan Kelly interviewed a Yale educated psychologist. She then spoke with the psychologist who gave a speech after the Columbine massacre. Both doctors agreed that gun control is not the answer alone.
Adam Lange used his mother’s guns. Even if they tried to take guns away from the public there will be probably quite a few people — law abiding citizens and criminals — who will have guns. These guns will be accessible to any mentally ill individuals who want to perpetrate horrors as Adam Lanza.
The two mental health professionals on Fox said that the discourse the American public needs to have concerns educating the public on identifying symptoms of mental illnesses that may be precursors to an individual “going off”.
If a gun doesn’t have somebody to pull the trigger that gun ain’t gonna kill anybody. It’s just going to lay there.
There needs to be a fundamental change. There needs to be a conditioning of the American public about how to identify and how to treat a psyche that perpetrates these horrors with guns. And it needs to start with very young kids at home and in schools. The media needs to do its part too.
