The article is hyper shallow. Guns are central to the discussion. Mental Illness is so poorly understood that the mother could not see she was raising a mass murderer, and Adam Lanza's mother, Nancy Lanza, was too mentally ill herself to be allowed to buy the guns that she had.

While it is difficult to do a diagnosis from a distance, on people that one has never met, early into an investigation far from complete with a majority of details still not revealed, there are some CERTAIN FACTS CLEARLY KNOWN.

Adam Lanza pre-planned his mass murder spree, attempting to buy his own weapons earlier that week. He stole his mother's property after slaughtering her in bed. He taped three 30-round magazines filled with bullets to his Bushmaster war weapon.

Nancy Lanza provided to Adam Lanza the training to use the weapons and kept at least four fully loaded clips of ammo for her War Weapon Bushmaster M4 Ar-15 in the house.

Without a lot more information RED FLAG ALARM BELLS are going off on this whole wacky gun-nut family. But there is a lot more information already known, and more coming in.
