Shooting atrocity

[Boomer]

- why did he target a kindergarten ?

They don't know but there are reports of an "altercation" the day before between an unknown male and 4 members of the school staff, 3 of whom were subsequently killed by Adam Lanza. The 4th was not in school that day.
Before leaving the house he also damaged a computer hard-drive.
They are working to retrieve some data from the hard-drive in the hopes that it may show up a motive.

His mother was a survivalist so who knows what happened to make him snap.

Yes, it contains a kindergarten, but the school is Sandy Hook Elementary School, that caters for Kindergarten to 4th grade. (ages 5-10 so equivalent to our Primary Schools)

The NRA response is truly shocking. More guns? WTF.

I still don't understand this 'right' to own a gun. It must be a paranoid society that requires guns to protect its members from one another. Hardly the functions of a democratic society.

The NRA has a membership of 3 million ... Yet there are 311 million people living in USA .... Surely this is Americas chance to stand together and do something ! If Obama misses the chance now it ain't ever going to change !
