| The mother of Newtown school massacre gunman Adam Lanza was a survivalist who was stockpiling food because she thought the world economy was on the verge of collapse. Nancy Lanza began hoarding food and water because she feared that the onging financial crisis was going to bring about the end of civilized society. She reportedly became ´obsessed´ with guns and taught Adam how to shoot, but on Friday in a grim twist he blasted her to death while she laid in her own bed. Law enforcement sources told the Hartford Courant that

Comments: Fox reported this morning that the murderer destroyed all of his computers. If this guy was so unstable I´m not sure exposing him to all these guns was the most responsible thing to do.

Lets think like a liberal:
Obama has failed to employ the strategies that create a vibrant and growing economy. Thus the shooter´s mother became concerned the economy was going to collapse and stocked up on ammo and purchased guns for protection from the hoards of "takers" she expected would roam the neighborhoods once the government entitlements ceased. Her troubled son took the guns and killed all the people.
Conclusion: it´s all Obama´s fault for his failed programs that started it all.

As obama continues to pursue his destructive agenda, the sense of impending doom this woman felt will become more justified and more common. The woman´s personal convictions are hardly relevant. The fact that she let her son have access to her weapons seems to me to be the crux of the matter.
How many of these episodes could have been prevented if the perpetrator´s mother wasn´t blinded by maternal devotion?

The mothers fears were not irrational but her solution was imprudent. #7 & 8 have it right. When the president fails in his basic duty to keep the citizens safe and is constantly stirring up class warfare in pursuit of his political objectives it will make the targeted people in the population nervous and that is when chaos breaks out. The president should stop all his talk about various groups in the population. There is only one distinction that counts - American citizens and aliens. That is one distinction he refuses to make!

I am not convinced she left the gun case open or let the kid have access to the guns. Knowing him, he could have easily held a knife to her throat and forced her to open the gun case. Before she could call the cops, he shot her dead.

This is just another trip to fantasy land with a media desperate to be relevant. Until the police reports are out, it´s all conjecture all the time, by the media.
So, what was her political affiliation? They keep trying to imply that Mrs. Lanza was a kookie conservative redneck- gun enthusiast, prepper, homeschooler. However, her location, home and lifestyle, leave that open to question.
Was she a liberal? Let´s be honest, if she were conservative, we´d know that by now, but it would explain, if she were a Zero supporter, why they are so desperate to paint her and a kook.

here we go. the script is becoming more clear. she was ´´obsessed´´ and a ´´survivalist´´. she was the risk. now I got it.
all we´re hearing is second hand info, and that may be all we ever hear since both mother and son are now dead. no one is saying whether or not the weapons were secure in a gun safe. and if that is true, perhaps the son had the combination. she ´´told a friend´´ that she was afraid she was losing the boy. since he hadn´t demonstrated any aggressive behavior a reasonable person would assume she meant that he was becoming even more introverted and was pulling away from her psychologically. if she was indeed so concerned with safety and survival, I´d bet that she was not careless with firearms. I have to believe (until facts are made much more clear) that she didn´t have a clue her son was this dangerous...

We should all know by now that the maintream media is worthless reporting a story like this one as it is their "DUTY" to exploit any story they report on to further a Lefty agenda and to protect Obama. I agree with others Obama has only himself to blame for scaring the majority of Americans with his Marxist agenda and class warfare. Obama is to blame for this woman´s worried mental state. The woman´s son was a mentally ill sicko that probably nobody could help.

After the dust settles, it may or may not be determined the mother was "obsessed" with guns.
She may have had a crazy kid, but it doesn´t make her obsessed with anything.

The poor woman who was murdered by her own son is not even buried in the ground yet and her character is already being assasinated. For shame!. Her only mistake was not properly securing her firearms from her son who clearly had some mental health issues. This whole tragedy and the three preceeding tragedies were failures of our mental health system. We dont need any additional laws. More than enough of them were broken already.

So we learn that only crazy people would imagine that the financial systems are nearing serious problems. Right.
"Obsessed with guns" to a pathetic Brit is owning more than a double barreled shotgun and half a box of birdshot. Only crazy people would want or need more than that, right?
Self defense is essentially illegal in Britain, so the concept of keeping guns for self defense is negated, and they seem to like being serfs. How sad.

If she were really disposed as stated in this article, you would think that she would have sold her high value property in ultra liberal Connecticut and moved into the mountains in someplace like Idaho, where a lot of her survival minded kindred spirits are holding out.
I think that before passing judgment on her it is prudent to wait until the emotional smoke clears, and see what her ex-husband and surviving son, along with other family members and acquaintances have to say.

Either the mother, the medical professionals or both, failed to adequately identify and/or deal with the killer´s mental illness.
It is only coincidence that she was a single mother who was concerned about the safety and financial future of herself and her child in this quickly deteriorating 0bama economy. There are a lot of us who share those concerns.
This is simply another opportunity for the left to add to their narrative that those who refuse to rely on the government to provide for them and protect them are somehow less than mentally balanced and a threat to the national security.

Those people who are aware of the insane debt Obama is racking up, recognize the unsustainable nature of the Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Obamacare, food stamps and welfare programs and extrapolate to the inevitable bankruptcy of this country necessarily followed by a societal meltdown when all those state dependent people are left stranded with no means of support and who don´t prepare to defend, feed and shelter themselves are oblivious to potential disaster.
So which is worse, being obsessed with survival or being oblivious to a possible disaster?

As whistleblowers came forward on Capitol Hill regarding the potential cover-up surrounding the Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2012, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted the investigation was “politicized” and “non-substantive.” But he refrained from questioning the congressional witnesses making allegations that the administration has been dismissing. A reporter asked Carney at today’s briefing, “Do you question their motivation?” Carney said, “I don’t. I’m simply saying there has been an ongoing effort to politicize this. But beyond that,

On Wednesday, the Associated Press mischaracterized the Benghazi hearings as merely a Republican event, even though it is an official House committee investigation. In the headline of its report, the Associated Press downplayed the official hearings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee--that has both Democrats and Republicans on it--into the failures surrounding the 2012 attacks on our embassy personnel in Benghazi, Libya. The AP characterized the official hearings as "GOP hearings," making the proceedings seem like a mere political witch-hunt.

The party that swept into power on promises of transparency and accountability scrambled Wednesday to circle wagons in an extravagant attempt to protect administration officials, the White House and the woman many Democrats hope will be their next nominee for president. Congressional Democrats strenuously tried covering up the inquiry into the botched handling and dishonest aftermath of the terrorist attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi that left dead our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

Laugh if you must but it’s no goofier than the idea that “due process” implies a substantive right to kill a baby in the womb but not five minutes later, after it’s emerged. Bsides, Jackson Lee’s been consistent on this. Back in January 2011, right after the new Republican House majority was sworn in, she started arguing that repealing O-Care would amount to a deprivation of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. There’s a certain ruthless logic in her reaching for the Constitution right after the Democrats’ hold on power began to slip in

What good is a background check that doesn’t actually penalize criminals? Like the rest of Amnesty 2013, it exists only to aid the Democratic Party’s culture of criminality. Their concern is with a clause that would, during the background check process, prohibit immigration officials from forwarding criminal histories to law enforcement for deportation purposes. “The idea is we are supposed to be weeding out the bad apples,” said Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies. “But the big problem with the bill is it does not require those denied the amnesty to leave the country.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
