The papers are describing Adam Lanza's mother as an "avid gun collector." Now, if she knew her son had mental issues — and it appears she did — why weren't her guns locked up where he couldn't get at them?

I'm guessing it's kind of hard to keep your guns locked up when you are killed (I haven't had to try it yet).
You really need to STOP blaming the victim of a crime.

what Rob893 is suggesting is that she should have locked them up prior to getting killed, so perhaps she would not have gotten killed.
Look, I'm only saying that responsible gun owners are taught to keep their weapons locked up, out of the reach of children, criminals, and wackos. If I knew one of my family members had mental issues, you can be damn sure they wouldn't have the combinations to my safes.
The tragedy happened because the wrong person had illegal access to lawful weapons. Not because someone had lawful weapons. That's all I'm saying.

Frankly, I'm not convinced that she bought the rifle or the pistols. They just aren't what a woman would nornally buy but a man, yes.
bring back the sanitarium.
rant mode off. Hate helmet on.
Excuse me, Umd0808, I think that Rob893 has a legitimate question.
We still don't know any of the real details yet. Frankly, I'm not convinced that she bought the rifle or the pistols. They just aren't what a woman would nornally buy but a man, yes. So, is it possible that the handguns and rifle belong to the father but were left behind at the house for some reason? We don't know. We don't know anything yet.

Were also just assuming that wasn't the case,the only two people that knew how he got the weapons was Adam and his mother. And there both dead!Look, I'm only saying that responsible gun owners are taught to keep their weapons locked up, out of the reach of children, criminals, and wackos.

Not gonna lie... That's some sexist shit. >.> Please tell me what kind of rifle would be more suitable for women?
She was after all dead so I guess she couldn't protect the key. If someone broke into your house and stole your guns can we blame an prosocute you?
This kind of BS about blaming the victim (She was killed too, remember), atleast until the facts indicate that she did something deliberately wrong, has got to stop.
If you want to blame the mother for the child she raised, I think you need to ignore firearms and look to much deeper issues.
That is not to say that mental illness is all "nurture" there are definitely disorders that are defects of development or a result of injury and I have no idea what proportion of each this case involves, but one way or another parents are responsible for their children and ensuring that they do not become a threat to society.
