What made this possible was making the school a gun free zone thereby telling criminals that it is absolutely safe for them to commit crimes in that area since no one will be armed to stop them.
so you want to put guns in grade schools?!?
please, please tell me you don't think that's a good idea.

People like ratbastard are why we have the problems in this country, the high crime, the income disparity, the huge government defecits, the monthly mass killings. Instead of wanting to fix the problems the country is having he wants to make them worse.

There is no perfect answer. What do you do abut all the guns already in circulation? In this case, it looks like having some sort of mental health check before buying a weapon (obviously a smart thing) wouldn't have mattered because from what I have read, the guns belonged to his mother.
20 year jail term for having a gun after a specific date. If people keep them they are risking spending most of their life in jail. Right now even if you carry illegal you get a slap on the wrist.
Drugs are illegal yet I would be willing to wager a large sum of money that many of those discussing this very topic use drugs to some degree or another. Making something illegal DOES NOT prevent anyone from doing anything. It merely imposes a penalty for doing so.
And the criminals will still have guns. Only the honest citizens will turn in their guns. Then we will have more of these killings because the criminals know there is no risk of them being stopped. The countries with the strictest gun laws have the highest rates of gun violence, but as is usual, libtards never pay attention to facts.
you don't pay attention to facts. you are responsible for the killings. mentally ill people won't be able to get guns if they are illegal. where do you think some loser who can't have a conversation with another human being is going to acquire illegal fire arms?

If you don't want a gun don't buy one. I personally do not have any fire arms, but I have no desire what-so-ever to prevent other law abiding citizens from owning them.

So Lanza was law abiding so its ok that he got his hands on guns?
The fact that a person is law abiding when they buy or obtain a gun in no way means they will be law abiding in how they use it. That is the problem.
If everyone who got a gun was law abiding we wouldn't have thousands of people being murdered including little children, now would me?
1) I cannot speak for CT but in VA he could not legally own a gun with a history of mental illness.
2) You are making my point that the mother was the one who was at fault here. She was criminally negligent in allowing her son to gain access to the weapon.
3) If everyone who owned a car was a law abiding citizen we would not have any accidents, drunk driving deaths, or any other motor vehicle deaths, now would we?

Oh I'm sorry.. I forgot GUNS dont' kill ..they were invented to kill u moron. THAT IS WHAT THEY DO. People do not buy guns to fondle themselves with or make popcorn last I checked
Yes, make them illegal and get them off the streets.. that is the answer.. less guns less violence
but lets say we don't want to fully make them illegal… lets say we say everyone can have ONE little gun if they want… no semi-automatics, no huge ammo, etc etc
THAT would be a start
Again (please read slowly this time so you will understand), making something illegal will NOT take it off the streets. If that were the case there would be no marajuana to be found anywhere.
Guns DON'T kill people. PEOPLE DO. That guns did not walk itself out of the woman's house, put itself in a stolen car, drive itself to a school, open the door, walk into he school, and start firing itself. Libtards ALWAYS want to blame someone or something else for their actions.
