The symptoms of antisocial personality disorder include a longstanding pattern (after the age of 15) of disregard for the rights of others. There is a failure to conform to society's norms and expectations that often results in numerous arrests or legal involvement as well as a history of deceitfulness where the individual attempts to con people or use trickery for personal profit. Impulsiveness if often present, including angry outbursts, failure to consider consequences of behaviors, irritability, and/or physical assaults.
Mass Murder is the ULTIMATE ANTI-SOCIAL ACT.
America has a norm that you don't kill a lot of people. There are many ANTI-SOCIAL people taking the side of easy access to guns of mass murder. The SYMPTOMS listed above (with a little flexibility in wording) can apply to a lot of commentators who are arguing for easy access to maximum firepower for anti-social villains. We see the "irritability" and "angry outbursts" in posts, "deceptive" statistics and rationales used, "failure to consider the consequences". The right to life is fundamental to all other rights -- deceased people have no rights at all, yet we see "disregard for the rights of others" including disregard of the right of children not to be murdered in first grade..
It only takes three symptoms off the list to make a diagnosis, and we see commentators displaying three to five symptoms in a single comment post.

Maybe they were stopped by the presence of The National Shooting Sports Foundation, about 1 mile away, as the stray bullet flies, from the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Here's a link with driving directions of google maps from the school to the shooting lobby group...

Nancy Lanza had psychological problems herself which should have raised alarm bells to people who knew her. The fact that she owned FOUR magazines of 30-rounds capacity for her AR-15 weapon of war is the loudest alarm bell ringing in our ears. Adam Lanza taped the three spares to the weapon when he went human hunting with the weapon his mother taught him to shoot.
Is There Anything We Can Do to Prevent Mass Shootings?

VERY BAD ADVICE: Quote: "Those who carry out mass shootings are typically not "psychopaths" or "sociopaths." Instead, they are usually individuals who are desperate or despondent -- whether because they have experienced multiple losses, or unbearable situations, or have some underlying mental health conditions -- and they reach a point where they feel that violence is the best way -- or perhaps the only way -- to solve their problems."
==================
The common term "sociopath" is better known than it's medical diagnostic term "Anti-Social Personality Disorder". A massacre is profoundly ANTI-SOCIAL.
Sociopathy is amazingly common. Modern psychiatry predicts 4% of the population is a ticking Ted Bundy or Adam Lanza, which on average with two adults per household, there is one sociopath living in one of the 12 houses nearest you, or in yours.
With so many non-exploding sociopaths, that means that most or many are keeping a tight lid on it, which fly loose under appropriate trigger conditions. The triggers of "desperate", "despondent", "loss" or "unbearable conditions" is just another way of saying sociopaths let themselves loose.
Adam Lanza was the world's biggest spoiled brat, whose mother failed to socialize him. He reconnoitered the school and attempted to buy his own gun for the massacre, showing planning. He taped three 30-bullet-clips to his military-style gun for rapid reload. The evidence of sociopathy is visible when the investigation has barely begun.

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.
