The Newtown Ct shooting A dark day in our history

The real issue here, IMO, is the mind set of the perpetrator, who must have been very deranged and very full of anger. We may never know the fine details, but the problem of mental illness today is bigger than ever. The availability of guns simply lets such a sick person "vent"his anger more easily. This tragic event is just a symptom of poor recognition and treatment of mental illness in this country, not to mention the general breakdown of the family unit. Did the news mention whether this Lanza monster had a father?
