Adam Lanza planned his mass murder before he set out to do it.
The final report is yet to be assembled and published, but certain facts are not likely to change or have changed meaning.
(1) Adam Lanza attempted to buy a weapon earlier that week but was stymied by the waiting period.
(2) The best witnesses are dead, but reports of Lanza appearing at the school one day earlier were published without confirmed sources. This would be reconnoitering, a planning move.
(3) Lanza stole his mother's weaponry and assassinated her as she slept.
(4) He destroyed two computers and removed his hard drive and made attempts to smash it beyond recovery, which was a conscious attempt to cover up history and activities.
(5) He stole his mothers car and drove to the killing grounds.
(6) He shot his way past the security barriers.
(7) His weapon had a clip in the gun loaded with 30 rounds, plus taped to the gun for quick and easy reloading was three more 30-round clips. He expended over 100 rounds, shooting three to eleven bullets into each victim.
(8) He had in his possession his 24 year-old brothers ID.
The activity pattern profile for Adam Lanza was consistent with Anti-Social Personality Disorder as defined by the standard handbook, DSM-IV.
Facts pertaining to Nancy Lanza
(1) Nancy Lanza taught her son Adam Lanza to shoot the weapons she owned.
(2) Nancy Lanza was a survivalist whom believed in arming herself against a forthcoming apocalypse of some kind.
(3) Nancy Lanza purchased the weapons and magazine clips for human enemies she expected to be a threat after society was fallen. She bought human-hunting weapons with the intent that they would be used in future mass murder by herself.
(4) Nancy Lanza imbued her son with her paranoia, which was inescapable given his other medical conditions being functionally housebound. Nancy Lanza was the first victim killed with the same relentless efficiency as the others, with four bullets to the head.
Nancy Lanza activity pattern profile is consistent with paranoid schizophrenic.
Despite so-called tough gun laws in Connecticut, neither of these two people, who both had (it seems after the fact) serious mental illnesses, were effectively stopped from obtaining rapid fire weapons and high capacity ammo clips.
Neither one met any of the criteria for removing the weapons from the house by due process law enforcement.
Adam Lanza could have passed the federal background check two weeks ago, and might even qualify for one of the rent-a-cop jobs at the Sandy Hook school newly proposed by the NRA-GOP.
