As more facts come to light regarding the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the story becomes more tragic at every turn. One such crucial piece of information is something we should all take to heart, and act upon vigilantly.
Just revealed today, Mrs. Lanza mother of Adam who murdered 26 people, not only collected guns in a home she housed her nut case son in, she actively pursued his education in handling firearms.
Normally I would applaud such a parental move; if any of us is to have guns in our home we should train our able minded family members in their safe legitimate use.
However when your child is troubled mentally; training that child to use a gun, or even keeping a gun where it can be obtained by that child is straight up fucking nuts.
That, as Mrs. Lanza had the extreme misfortune of discovering, was just as effective as placing the barrel of the gun at her own temple. The only difference being that twenty five other people had to die before that epiphany entered and left her dying mind.
Note to all of you who suspect you've got a family member ready to go over the deep end, it is incumbent upon you to actively participate in that individuals disarming.
If you're placing, or allowing guns to remain in the hands of the unstable, you are every bit as guilty of the crimes that person commits. Fortunately for Mrs. Lanza she doesn't have to be haunted by her sons deadly rampage, nor does she live with the consequences. That wreckage was left behind for the devastated families and community of Newtown to sift through.
