I'm not defending personal possession of assault rifles, but I still think there are many questions to be asked and addressed at the individual and local level before getting crazed across the nation about more restrictive gun laws or not.
Why was this shooter in CT able to get into the school and shoot the principal, especially when they had a new system that one would assume had most or all the features needed to keep intruders out?
Why did people know the shooter was deeply troubled since grade school but yet, when he was seen with the mom at the gun range getting training and practice on the Bushmaster, nobody looks into:
a) why the mom has such a weapon;
b) why does the son need to be trained on the weapon/
c) what does the dad know about his son's involvement with weapons at the mom's home?
Surely, a man who could afford to pay $289,000 per year in alimony has the resources to get help for his son and make sure he is living in a safe and appropriate place that fits his known mental disorders.
