Lupica: Lanza plotted massacre for years

Lupica: Lanza plotted massacre for years
Law enforcement reportedly discovers a sickeningly thorough 7-foot-long, 4-foot-wide spreadsheet with names, body counts and weapons from previous mass murders and even attempted killings. 'It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research,' an anonymous law enforcement veteran said.

Comment:

You need to read this.  Lanza equated his planned murders to a video game.  How do you predict something like this in advance?

You probably can't.  So what to do?

There's one gun-control proposal that I've heard about which is relevant to the facts of this case. Lanza's mother made straw purchases for her son, according to this article.  If that's correct, then banning straw purchases for somebody else needs to be scrutinized.   Of all the proposals I've heard, this is the one that may actually make some sense.


Update:

I got this from Drudge and below the link to this story was another which listed all of the proposals to deal with this.  Same old, same old.  None of the proposals listed would have stopped this at all.  Are these people on crack or something?  You really have to be pretty dense to keep on insisting after this report that the thing to do is to regulate guns.  None of the proposals have a damn thing to do with what happened.
