Newtown Shooter May Have Had 'Psychotic Break' And Used Unlocked Guns

Probe of Newtown shooter Adam Lanza focusing on murderer’s ‘psychotic break’ and unlocked guns 

Nancy Lanza had brought her son to a psychiatrist and pushed him to get out of the house as he became increasingly antisocial, according to a friend of Ms. Lanza. The mother also kept guns in her house routinely unlocked.
The high-powered weapons that Adam Lanza used in his murderous rampage weren’t routinely locked up in his home even though his mother knew he had serious psychological problems, a close family friend told the Daily News. 

Investigators are focusing on whether Lanza had a “psychotic break” before he murdered his mother, then shot to death 26 children and staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month, the friend said.

As long as this type of thing does'nt increase the # of insanity defenses it may be worthy of consideration.All of this is being kicked around even though he is dead.Just imagine what we would be forced to endure had he lived.

I have said this all along it was partially his mothers fault for leaving the weapons UNSECURED with a known problem child.

It's a shame we can't ban stupid females from being mothers. If we did half of the country's troubles would go away. I'm talking about the ones with 5 kids with 5 different "baby daddies" if they even know who the "baby daddy" is. The ones who don't have a pot to take a leak in but feel compelled to produce another baby when they can't provide for themselves. The ones who blame everyone else for their kid's behaviour problems when the fact is it is due to the mother's own unstable lifestyle. I could go on and on but everyone's gets the message.

has anyone heard that he actually did NOT use the so called "assault rifles". he actually only used the pistols.

so why would an assault weapons ban have helped then?

4:20 p.m.: Mrs. Lanza obviously had problems, but she certainly was not the type of person you're describing. What does your comment have to do with her situation?

Why does he have to be an idiot?

More and more people just call others names because they disagree with them.

It doesn't make you more right in your argument. It makes you look more like an ...idiot.

Can we get back to being civil to one another? This type of crap is really getting old.

7:06 AMEN! I get tired of watching people call others names. State your case and move on. Have people forgotten how to be civil?

7:06...AMEN!!!!! We are suffering from the "dumbing down" of the Eastern Shore.

4:20, then you have to ban stupid males, too, like the cop who left his gun on the table for his little child to find and die from.

By the way, 4:20 p.m.: The kid in New Mexico who just killed his parents and siblings came from a two-parent home, and the murdering fiends in Colorado and Arizona did not come from homes with "5 babies from 5 baby daddies." Sounds like you were waiting for an opportunity to make this comment and jumped on the first item involving parental responsibility.

He also used guns from a person who bought them out of fear, in the last four years a lot of people bought guns who normally would not, why ? because Obama has installed fear into the American public its Obama who has blood on his hands from Sandy Hook that's right Obama gun salesman of the year four years in a row.
