14. Adam Lanza's parents had every financial resource in the world to get him the BEST psychiatric care

This isn't about mental health care in the US since this guy demonstrably had the financial resources to get the finest help in the world.

This is about guns. Period. And access to them.

If he'd been psychotic, schizoid, on dope or something worse, and he hadn't been able to get a hold of a ton of firepower, there's no way we'd be mourning this many dead today. If Adam Lanza only had access to a couple of kitchen knives? Sorry, this would be a whole different story.
