On the topic of Aspergers, i did hear that, but I also heard that he may not have really had Aspergers. Many think he had antisocial personality disorder. Very few mentally ill people get violent, but those with personality disorders do. And they have no remorse, which makes it easy for them to look loved ones in the eyes and kill them...and kill little children. This was not a normal boy. It does not sound like a normal family. Mom having all those guns, regardless of any lifestyle she chooses, was absolutely insane (pardon the pun) considering her disturbed child. If you have a child with mental health issues, duh, you don't have loaded guns laying around. My guess is she knew darn well that this boy was VERY sick and she still had loaded guns and an assault weapon lying around. Makes me very angry.
Janet, I do not believe for a second that our "armed citizens" will ever protect us from terrorists or that they even could. And we don't need so many military bodies. We have stronger weapons now. They can take out a ton of people without using as many troops.
