from the Sandy Hook shooter's home: Police have recovered a “trove” of violent video games from the basement of Lanza’s home. Sources say Lanza spent countless hours there alone, in a private gaming room with blacked-out windows.

Hours spent on violent video games. An admiration of Norway spree shooter Anders Behring Breivik. Anger management issues. Behavioral "episodes". Social interaction problems. Asperger's Syndrome. Autism.

WTF was his mother thinking by keeping any type of weapon in the home, let alone four different firearms and ammunition, with this obvious mentally defective child living there. And taking him to the gun range to teach him to operate the weapons? Leaving him home alone so he could become more independent? 

Mom is clearly guilty of gross negligence. But she's dead, a victim of her own stupidity and denial. Nancy Lanza spawned something broken and unable to operate within society's norm, and then ignored the problem. Nancy Lanza is the guilty party here. 

Hours of violent video games + obvious mental defects + a mother in denial:

BATFE form 4473 question 11f: Have you ever been adjucated mentally defective

BATFE form 4473, q.11f: Have you ever been adjucated mentally defective (which includes having been adjudicated incompetent to manage your own affairs) or have been committed to a mental institution? Y/N

Answer yes to that question and you're not getting the gun you intended to purchase. Lie and answer "no', and you may not pass the NICS background check, which may have record of your mental illness if you have ever been committed to a state run facility. But the reporting of mentally ill patients is very incomplete, so odds are good that your mental illness has gone unreported.

Now there's talk of legislation that would force health care professionals to report any patients who "may possibly" be a threat to themselves or others. Turn 'em over to NICS or face possible criminal charges. I'm not saying mentally defective persons should be allowed to buy guns, no absolutely not, mentally defectives should be kept far away from firearms. My point is glaringly obvious. Any person owning a gun or wishing to own a gun is gonna stay away from the psychologist/psychoanalyst/psychiatrist office, for fear of finding their name on a list in the NICS system. Fear that they'll never own another gun, fear that they'll find BATFE or some "law enforcement" branch of Homeland Security in their house at a totally unexpected moment. Those fears will keep them away from the health care they may very well need. 

Think about this a moment. Maybe you're having trouble sleeping. Anxiety. Depression. Feeling generally unhappy. Somebody thinks you're "drinking" too much. You could probably use a little help. Maybe you could use a whole lot of help. But you're a gun owner and most definitely do not ever want your name flagged in the NICS system as having been treated for a "mental illness". Maybe you're not a gun owner and just don't like the fact that your government may have your name on a list in some "criminal information system." 

You're absolutely no threat to anybody. So what do you do? You avoid getting treatment that could very well improve your life. That's what you and most anyone else in your position is going to do. You will choose to suffer without help for fear you'll lose your rights. 

And what about firearm owners who may be living with a mentally ill person? Nancy Lanza, mother of the Sandy Hook shooter paid for her stupidity with her life. Based on what friends and relatives have said, she was fully aware (or should have been) of the fragile state of her son's mental health. Required home schooling. Hours upon hours of violent video games. No social skills. Frustration. Anger. Why would this woman keep guns and ammunition in the home with a son in this dangerous mental state? We'll never know because she is dead. A victim of her own stupidity. 

This is a complex issue that's at the core of the "mass murders" we've seen. I don't have the answers. I'm not an expert on the nation's mental health system, other than to say it appears by all accounts to be "broken." But this is what's at the core of this problem. Firearms are not the cause. You first have to answer these questions: Why would someone want to kill large numbers of people they don't know, people who have never done anything to harm them, kill children in a most brutal fashion? What's the killer's motivation? What inspires evil?

You can take away the guns, but the evil and mental illness and motivation to kill will still exist. They'll just find another tool for the killing.

"the teen liked violent video games....."

Who doesn't think the Obama admin is giving Hollywood and the video game industry a free pass on this mass murder outbreak we're experiencing? Anyone who doesn't believe pure evil exists, here he is. 15 years old with an serious attraction to violent video games. Oh yeah, he was pissed at his mom:

Murders his mother, father 9 year old brother and sisters ages 5 and 2.

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The New Mexico teenager accused of gunning down five family members over the weekend ambushed his father as he returned home from an overnight shift at a rescue mission, then reloaded his rifles and planned to go to a Wal-Mart and randomly shoot people, authorities said Tuesday.

Instead, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl and her family, authorities said. That evening, he went to the church where Griego’s father had been a pastor, and Griego eventually confessed to killing his parents and three younger siblings.

“The motive, as articulated by the suspect, was purely that he was frustrated with his mother,”

“I know he was on medication and everything, but she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes"

We've heard very little in the media about Adam Lanza's mental health issues and the drugs he was on, yet in the few interviews done with family friends they keep telling us this: Adam Lanza was "on medication and everything", "she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes".

Instead we get hour after hour of shrill reporting on how guns are the problem. By all witness accounts, Adam Lanza had psychiatric illness. He was being medicated. He had behavioral problems that caused his mother to remove him from the school system. His mother knew him better than anyone. She should have recognized the danger of having ANY firearms in the home with her son. She paid with her life for her own stupidity. Sadly, 26 children and adults had to pay also.

"it is simply indisputable that most perpetrators of school shootings and similar mass murders in our modern era were either on – or just recently coming off of – psychiatric medications:

Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox – like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and many others, a modern and widely prescribed type of antidepressant drug called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Harris and fellow student Dylan Klebold went on a hellish school shooting rampage in 1999 during which they killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before turning their guns on themselves.Luvox manufacturer Solvay Pharmaceuticals concedes that during short-term controlled clinical trials, 4 percent of children and youth taking Luvox – that’s 1 in 25 – developed mania, a dangerous and violence-prone mental derangement characterized by extreme excitement and delusion.

Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton, Calif., in 1989, which became the catalyst for the original legislative frenzy to ban “semiautomatic assault weapons” in California and the nation. The 25-year-old Purdy, who murdered five children and wounded 30, had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the antipsychotic drug Thorazine.
Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 and the next day went to his school, Thurston High in Springfield, Ore., and opened fire on his classmates, killing two and wounding 22 others. He had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.

In 1988, 31-year-old Laurie Dann went on a shooting rampage in a second-grade classroom in Winnetka, Ill., killing one child and wounding six. She had been taking the antidepressant Anafranil as well as Lithium, long used to treat mania...."
