In reply to the discussion: Why are people buying the line that this was driven primarily mental illness [View all]you ever been on a fire fight with a semi-automatic and loads of magazines? I was an expert with my rifle and could easily pick off at least fifty people in a matter of seconds. It takes skill and training. I forget how many rounds was in my magazine but I'm estimating 20-30 rounds. I started out as a marksman and got all the way up to an expert after numerous times of training. Timing and accuracy is involved. and when I entered Basic Training, I was just twenty years old, so age doesn't matter depending on the times you train. We are talking about at close range too. I understand from reports, Mrs Lanza had a policeman as a friend too. They seem to really be circling the wagons to me about her reputation, and I can understand that. I don't see anybody as a monster though, and people make mistakes. They just got to admit the truth when mistakes are made. I think Adam also had some problems, and it wasn't caught. People made bad decisions and need to own up to it. The only innocent people I see in this was those little kids and their teachers but I consider Adam and his mother, victims too. I listened to her friends and I'm sure they thought she did everything right, but I think she made some mistakes and needed to seek help for her son. I think she made a mistake keeping those guns too.
