NEWTOWN, Conn. — Nancy Lanza loved guns, and often took her sons to one of the shooting ranges here in the suburbs northeast of New York City, where there is an active community of gun enthusiasts, her friends said. At a local bar, she sometimes talked about her gun collection.

It was one of her guns that was apparently used to take her life on Friday. Her killer was her son Adam Lanza, 20, who then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 26 more people, 20 of them small children, before shooting himself, the authorities said.

Ms. Lanza’s fascination with guns became an important focus of attention on Saturday as investigators tried to determine what caused Mr. Lanza to carry out one of the worst massacres in the nation’s history.

Investigators have linked Ms. Lanza to five weapons: two powerful handguns, two traditional hunting rifles and a semiautomatic rifle that is similar to weapons used by troops in Afghanistan. Her son took the two handguns and the semiautomatic rifle to the school. Law enforcement officials said they believed the guns were acquired legally and were registered.

Her friends said? Really? And the Media has such a great track record for responsible reporting? No, started off with the wrong brother, so there is no credibility at all. IMO All these anonymous people that being quoted, not credible either.

I am sick and tired of the media.
There's way to much junk out there.

The media is out of control and
running the country.

All they are doing is creating copy cats.
Before you know it some idiot is going
to repeat this calamity to draw attention.

It happened before!

Liberals have to BLAME SOMEONE for everything. They'll blame the mother, the government, republicans, rich people, the school security, and even guns and other various INANIMATE OBJECTS.

No people call for taking out the bath tub when children are killed by drowning as the mother did (I think in Tex. ) or the ball bats when a person is killed by one.
No it is always the gun.
There are just as many Gang killings with guns and knifes yet the Gov. does not kill the gang member or even try to stop the drug dealers.
They sale them guns and get by with it.
Take the law obeying person's gun and the outlaws , gangs are the only people that will have them and the law will not be there to protect you.
there never there now and wont be then for sure.
When you need one you can't find one.
There always a day late and drinking coffee and dough nuts.
Take a good hard look at what our army is doing to the children over seas with our drones unman bombers and our Gov. calls it collateral damage, just to gain access to oil we don't need.
We are becoming more and more a police state.
