> In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness. I think it becomes all the more important to talk about weapons when you have a mentally inflicted person in your family. > methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me This is exactly what i'm talking about. > http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9748253/Connecticut-school-shooting-live.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9... This is an article i just read after reading this post. According to it: Lanza's mother was a big fan of guns. And taught her son how to shoot. And they had lot of weaponry at home. I do not know of mental history of Lanza. Assuming if there was a bad side to it, it is obviously very inconsiderate to have such a child being introduced or even be in periphery of any kind of weaponry. > God help me. God help Michael. God help us all. Amen. Also, in retrospect, it is really important to regulate access to weapons, especially in a case where there is a bad mental history.
