If I knew the answer, I'd be doing much bigger things than I am now.
I know it seems easy to just say change is needed, but I don't think it will make a difference. The fiasco that was Canada's long gun registry shows how difficult and dividing this topic can be.... in Canada. I could not even fathom what it would be like in the US.
For what it's worth, trust me that any meaningful gun control laws (which I think is impossible) in the US would not get out of first gear. There's so much legal precedence to use against it (aside from the 2nd Amendment) I cannot in any way, shape or form, imagine a scenario that would have a massive federal gun control law passed... ever.
The "what is the answer" was out of frustration at the situation, not a shot at you.
So the sad truth might be that this will continue........

Only 1 injured. He must have killed them one by one at very close range or there would be a lot of injured survivors. I can't even fathom how someone could do something like this.
lol at people who debate gun laws everytime a mass kiling spree occurs.
Everyone is missing the point.
These losers that Kill people lack a functioning family life. Look at the Columbine Shooters, The Virginia Tech Shooter & now this ass clown in CT.
If they had a good home life and were raised properly this wouldnt have occurred.
The family unit is broken in all western civilizations.
Umm, you do realize the problem is so much deeper than just poor family relations right? Saying its bad parenting is as simplistic as saying gun control will fix things.

Just horrible. I lived in Connecticut before we moved to Canada, and it just makes me wonder how much it has changed since i lived there. I'm glad that i am out of that area, i'd hate to see what i would have become if we stayed. If i raised a familythere and my children where the ones gunned down. Just makes me feel sick.

Dude, one incident like this doesn't turn Connecticut, which is largely a nice place, into Thunderdome. You'd be pretty much the same person, you'd just be a Rangers or Bruins fan.
Hug your children and enjoy each day like the last. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, even in a place like Canada where guns can be bought from a store no different than in the USA.
And to be fair to Connecticut, our shooter is from New Jersey. All kinds of information/misinformation out there. Some reports that an Adam Lanza was the shooter and Ryan Lanza was not.

Some reports that Adam Lanza is the shooter and that he killed his brother Ryan, who is posting on facebook. It's very confusing.

While I largely agree with what you're saying about solid families being important to strong societies, just coming from a good home is no sure-fire guarantee. Today is also the one-year anniversary of the Claresholm mass shooting in which Derek Jensen hunted down and shot 4 people (killing three of them) before turning the gun on himself.
My family knows the Jensen family well, and they are fine upstanding members of the community, very family oriented, religious, been happily married for years, the whole nine yards. They would be the last people on earth you would look at and say "one of those kids is going to be a psychopathic mass-murderer."
In situations like this I don't give a damn about the killer's background: who was or wasn't bullied or who did or didn't have a crappy childhood - when you make the decision to murder another human being, YOU are the one who must wear the accountability for it.
This Connecticut mess, as with any other mass shooting situation, is just tragic beyond words.

As someone who knows people who own guns in both countries I can tell you this is not the case. I can't think of a local Wal-Mart in Canada where I can buy my guns, bullets, booze and socks.
