You don't think there is pissedness aimed at "assault rifles"? It seems to me that people have labeled and are spewing much hatred for these weapons.

At the very least, if you have a mentally unstable person living with you, get the guns out of the house.

I could see locking the guns up, but where would you keep your guns if you didn't keep them in your house?

Lanza's mother was the first person he shot, right? So I'm sure she would have done a lot of things differently if she had the chance.

The most recent news is that trigger may have been that she was considering having him committed, and he was enraged over that.

If she knew he was sick enough that he needed to be committed, I don't understand why she kept all those guns in the house in the first place. She did have a chance to get those guns out of the house. She didn't. I know the press talks about what a loving mother she was, but I'm the mother of a son who went through a period of mental illness, and keeping guns in the house during his sickest period would not have been an act of love.
