Adam Lanza Was Crazy: We Told You This, But You Wanted To Blame Guns Instead

We told you several, and I mean several times over, that Adam Lanza was crazy.

You see, crazy people have this peculiar penchant for killing people. It's what they do. We told you that it was not guns who killed those innocents, but that it was a crazy Adam Lanza who killed them.

But did you listen? No. And why didn't you?

Well, it suited your purpose to vilify guns, gun owners, gun control regulations and laws, and The Second Amendment. It better suited your narrative to go after inanimate and lifeless objects, than to put the blame squarely where it belonged, which is on the shoulders of a very dead and lifeless Adam Lanza.

So. Now that your emotionalism has ebbed and the facts are coming out, (which is something many of us were saying since the beginning, not wanting to jump into emotional speculations), will you at least do the research and see for yourselves that guns were not the villain in this scenario, but that it was Adam Lanza, crazy Adam Lanza, who was the villain?

No one in The Second Amendment Community wants crazy people to have guns. No one I personally relate to was happy when Adam Lanza carried out his atrocities. Crazy people and The Second Amendment don't exactly go hand-in-hand.

From CTPost:

NEWTOWN -- Anders Behring Breivik was not the only mass murderer with whom Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza was obsessed, according to a law enforcement source.

State Police investigators who executed search warrants at the Yogananda Street home where the 20-year-old Lanza lived recovered reams of documents related to "virtually every mass murder" in the United States and abroad, the source said.

Lanza exhibited particular interest in the October 2006 shooting at a one-room Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County, Pa., in which gunman Charles Carl Robert IV took hostages and shot 10 school girls, five of them fatally, before killing himself.

And from The Economist, 13 Mar 2013, we see that the NRA keeps speaking about mental illness in regard to guns. But you probably didn't hear about this, did you?

The message discipline of the National Rifle Association and congressional allies has been impressive. After an initial period of silence, the NRA came out with a consistent narrative about mass shootings. The problem, said such spokesmen as Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice-president, was that criminals and the dangerously ill can get their hands on guns.

At moments, the NRA and supporters almost sounded like liberal gun-control advocates. "We have a mental health system in this country that has completely and totally collapsed," Mr LaPierre told NBC television on December 23rd last year, days after the Newtown murders. The NRA backs the FBI-run instant background checks system used by gun dealers when selling firearms, Mr LaPierre noted. It supports putting all those adjudicated mentally incompetent into the system, and deplores the fact that many states are still putting only a small number of records into the system.

So you see, while you would like to paint this picture that gun owners, devotees, collectors, supporters, etc., are all "psychotards", the truth is we are quite aware of the real dangers in America regarding guns. The real dangers are the Adam Lanzas of our society.

I'm hoping we can all agree on that.

You might not wish to acknowledge it, but you know perfectly well that it was not mental health counseling that stopped Adam Lanza, but instead a slug of lead passing through his brain. So for now, I'll stick to what I know works. The mental health community will have to prove they have what it takes.
