Lanza illegally stole the guns.
Lanza illegally used fake ID.
Lanza illegally broke into school.
Lanza illegally shot up the place.
It's hard for me to comprehend how anyone could think passing another law would stop a nut....
It would not have stopped it, but if his mom had only one pistol some of those kids could have been "just" injured and a lot less could have been shot. Also, some of the adults might have had a chance to intervene during reloading.
Imagine it, those little kids had multiple bullets in their bodies.
There is no reason these semi automatic rifles are needed in hands of regular citizens.
