And he had a certificate from the NRA!
When will the gun kooks claim that Lanza and his mother were
gun gabbing liberals?
(Reuters) - The gunman who killed 20 children and six adults at
a Connecticut elementary school fired 154 rounds in less than 5
minutes, selecting high capacity magazines from a home arsenal
stocked with swords, knives and a cache of guns, officials
said.
Investigators also found a newspaper clipping about a mass
shooting in the home that Adam Lanza shared with his mother,
along with a gun safe in his bedroom, receipts from shooting
ranges and National Rifle Association certificates for both of
them, according to court papers released on Thursday.
To carry out the second deadliest school shooting in U.S.
history, Lanza used 30-round magazines at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, said Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy
after the previously sealed searches of Lanza's car and home
were made public.
"We now know that he left the lower capacity magazines at
home," Malloy said in a statement. "This is exactly why we need
to ban high capacity magazines and why we need to tighten our
assault weapons ban."
As more details about the shooting came to light, President
Barack Obama urged with U.S. lawmakers not to forget those shot
to death in Newtown three months ago.
"The entire country pledged we would do something about it and
that this time would be different. Shame on us if we've
forgotten," said Obama, appearing at the White House with
mothers of children who had been shot to death.
The December 14 rampage started at the Lanza family home, where
authorities say the 20-year-old shot dead his mother, Nancy
Lanza, and then drove to the school he once attended. Armed
with an AR-15-type assault rifle and two handguns he killed the
20 children, six staff members and himself.
The pale yellow two-story suburban colonial house where Lanza
lived is directly across the street from the home of Dylan
Hockley, 6, who died in his teacher's arms in the massacre. The
Hockley family has since moved to another part of town.
Searches of the house by police turned up a cache of guns,
three samurai-style swords and boxes of bullets, along with
items that could offer some clues on Adam Lanza's thinking.
Among them were a 2008 New York Times clipping on an Illinois
school shooting and books on Asperger's syndrome and autism.
Friends of the Lanza family had described Adam Lanza as having
Asperger's syndrome, which is a form of autism.
For some in the tight-knit southern New England town, the
release of the new details only inflamed emotional wounds.
"We struggle every day to stay on the path of recovery and
every bit of information that becomes part of the public
discourse holds a potential hurt for a family who has already
suffered immeasurable harm," said Newtown First Selectman E.
Patricia Llodra.
The attack, which Obama called the worst day of his presidency,
reignited a fierce debate on gun violence and gun regulation in
the United States. The Second Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution protects the right to gun ownership.
The National Rifle Association called after the shooting for
armed guards to patrol public schools, while gun-control
advocates called for tighter restrictions on both the process
to buy guns and the types of guns and ammunition clips that may
be sold.
THE CACHE OF WEAPONS
The court papers said police searching the Lanza home found an
Enfield bolt-action rifle, a Savage Mark II rifle, a revolver,
three samurai-style swords with blades measuring up to 28
inches and a 6-foot, 10-inch wood-handled pole with a blade on
one side and a spear on the other.
They also found a smashed computer hard drive and a gun safe in
the room they believed to be Adam Lanza's bedroom; NRA
certificates in the names of both Adam Lanza and his mother;
and Nancy Lanza's body in her bed with a gunshot wound to her
forehead and a rifle on the floor nearby.
FBI agents interviewed one or more people who described Lanza
as "a shut-in and avid (video) gamer who plays Call of Duty
amongst other games." It was noted that the Sandy Hook
Elementary School was his "life."
Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Thursday released a TV ad
featuring family members of the victims calling for tighter
control of guns. Broadcast in Hartford, Connecticut, it was
aimed to encourage a proposed Connecticut gun-control law.
"We cannot afford to wait for another tragedy," said New York
City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the group's co-chairman.
The investigation documents were released on the same day as
hundreds of protesters demonstrated at the National Shooting
Sports Foundation, less than 3 miles from the school, over the
NRA's opposition to new gun control laws. Newtown residents
were enraged after receiving a slew of robo-calls on behalf of
the NRA that were critical of gun control laws.
Caithlin De Marrais, a 40-year-old musician from Easton,
Connecticut, who brought along her 7-month-old baby, carried a
handmade sign proclaiming "Enough."
"I'm here to support Newtown and all the communities that have
lost loved ones due to gun violence," she said.
The crowd also included those who oppose more gun control,
among them Tahra Erickson, 33, who stood with her
three-year-old son Zachary.
"I don't think it's the government's job to tell me how I can
protect my son," she said.

Shame on our (so called) president for playing these people who have
lost so much already.

Thankful for the anti-gun folks.

Anti-gun crowd has done more to arm the citizens of the USA than the NRA!

The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt. Its counsels, which
should have established the millennium, have led directly to the suicide of
Europe. I believed them once. In their name I helped to destroy the faith of
millions of worshipers in the temples of a thousand creeds, and now they
look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his
faith.
