These murderers were made at home: The Oregon shooter’s mother armed her son — just like Adam Lanza’s did

...As disturbing as this is on its own – a mother who connects with her son not through a shared love of hiking or soccer or music or books but rather discharging military weaponry – it has a frightening echo that’s not mentioned in the Times story: Adam Lanza, the mentally disturbed man who slaughtered children in Newtown, Conn., also seemed to connect with his mother most powerfully through handguns. Nancy Lanza, in fact, took her son shooting when he was only four.

This was another case of gun loving derangement, not of a loving, hardworking single mother. Spare me your righteous indignation, por favor.
