...with her "blessing", then why did he kill her? What, she didn't give him her ATM card too? It is beyond ludicrous to claim, as you are, that his mother willing gave him her car and guns to go murder 26 people at an elementary school. While she bears some blame for not securing her guns better, and for perhaps not getting her son mental help he needed, to claim she just gave her car and guns to him is seriously sick and twisted.
