    In Newtown: An American Tragedy, Matthew Lysiak makes the strongest case yet against Nancy Lanza
    Mother of Adam Lanza branded him a 'lost cause' and said as early as 2000 there was 'something very wrong' with him
    In 2008 told friends he was a 'lost cause'
    Friends reveal he was 'always very comfortable with a gun in his hand' after she took him shooting from age four
    Nancy saw shooting as the ‘perfect outlet’ for ‘bonding sessions’ together
    Abandoned Asperger's sufferer son to go on trips to London, Boston, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and Maine
    Months before the shooting she went on spa retreat and called him once - he didn't answer

Teaching a child to shoot is not a bad thing.  A normal child will learn to respect firearms rather than use them in a dangerous or deadly manner.

This individual was clearly mentally unstable and should never have been allowed near a gun.
"...And these atomic bombs which science burst upon the world that night were strange, even to the men who used them."  H. G. Wells, The World Set Free, 1914

"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections." -Lord Acton
