Newtown victims gets million from murdered woman

[TNHarley]

Would have been to her advantage not to let her nutbag son around guns.

he fuckin killed her. Do you not understand that?

That's the point. It was stupid and irresponsible of her to have guns around her mentally unstable son.

A person should NOT be limited on their CONSTITUTIONAL rights because someone living with them is crazy. I saw NO reports that she didn't have her AR-15 secured properly. If you do, please share it

Newtown families split $1.5M from estate of gunman's mother
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The families of more than a dozen victims of the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, will split $1.5 million under settlements of lawsuits filed against the gunman's mother's estate.
A lawyer for several victims' families says the settlements were finalized Dec. 17 in documents filed in Bridgeport Superior Court.
The lawsuits said Nancy Lanza failed to properly secure her legally owned Bushmaster AR-15 rifle. Her son, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, used the rifle to kill 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. He killed his mother before the school shooting and killed himself afterward.

So she failed to properly secure her gun after she was dead?

This is the kicker
"Victims' families also are suing the maker of the Bushmaster rifle."
You have GOT to be fuckin kiddin me!
I guess we can start suing chevy when drunk drivers run over civilians. Maybe we could throw in Budweiser, too.
That is one of the most PATHETIC legal suits I have ever heard of.
And we have Presidential candidates supporting them getting sued!

And this is wrong….they shouldn't get one penny. The woman did not give the rifle to her son…..he murdered her and he stole it. Hopefully they will sue the actual people responsible…those who passed the gun free zone legislation that made their children's school a gun free killing zone for the killer.

Right. She had no desire or obligation to keep guns out of the hands of a known crazy person. Right in line with the NRA's goals.

$1.5 Million is not nearly enough. They should haul Adam's Father's skinny
ass into court and take him for all he's worth based on
contributory negligence.

Every gun sold should come with an insurance policy so families of both the victims and the shooters are not destroyed financially by the actions of crazed individuals. It's common sense; we do it for cars, and we should do it for guns.​

then start an insurance company that does it. No need to sue the estate of a dead woman for getting murdered

I'm sure the NRA will be offering that in the not-too-distant-future (if they don't already). Jut like AAA offers automobile insurance.
They rightfully sued the estate of the woman who was responsible. She gave her sick son access to weaponry. The 1.5 million dollars is an insult to the victim's families.

So you are saying she was responsible for her son killing her and taking the AR-15?

A lock on the gun case might have prevented it.

 

[strollingbones]

tn you are ignoring the fact that she knew he had mental problems.....and yes if you have someone with mental issues your weapons should be secure...

 

[koshergrl]

If your car is stolen and used to commit a crime…you are now on the hook. If someone steals your identity…then you are now on the hook for whatever they do….for real…..

This is why, though I don't live off the grid, I live a very very low profile life.

No.

For having the AR 15 in a house where her son lives and not securing it in a way to where her crazy son could not get to it. I know they have gun safes with big old combination locks on them. It's not that hard.. It would be like having a pyromaniac child and having copious amounts of flammable material loosely secured in your house and a virtually limitless amount of matches to go along with it.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

A person should NOT be limited on their CONSTITUTIONAL rights because someone living with them is crazy. I saw NO reports that she didn't have her AR-15 secured properly. If you do, please share it

The courts disagree, and had the guns been locked up, and had he not known the code, he never would have had access to them.

Her love of guns, and her crazy kid, killed her. Some combinations are just bad.

 

[koshergrl]

tn you are ignoring the fact that she knew he had mental problems.....and yes if you have someone with mental issues your weapons should be secure...

He should have been locked up...I think she might have had mental problems too. I seem to recall she actually had tried to get help to control him.

Of course, a sane person would never have encouraged their mentally ill son to play with guns, but there you have it. We don't lock up our crazy people any more, and this is where it gets you.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Gun owners whose irresponsibility led to the deaths of innocents should be held accountable.

I agree. but does that fit here?

Yes. If I had a psychopath in my family I'd make sure either I hid my guns or tricked them into thinking I didn't have any.

I told you you were no liberal, limp wrist

OH, do you have a quote from one of the founders of the nation about Lanza? If not, perhaps you should get your wrist checked there.

LOL
So you are a limited govt and individual liberty supporter?

IN some ways yes. IN some ways no on the limited government. Just like those that shaped our nation were.

If I had a troubled son like Adam, I would have taken him bowling or golfing instead of to the gun range for Family Fun Day. If I were worried in the months before her death, that he was becoming more isolated and secretive, I would not have planned on buying him a shiny pistol for Christmas. I realize she enjoyed guns and no mother wants to think her child would do what Adam did; my heart goes out to all parents dealing with a child with mental illness. She was not a monster, but she was negligent.
If I was the surviving sib I would give every blessed cent of her estate to a legislator with the balls to fight the gun lobby in Washington. If such a person exists.

Those guns weren't really secured since nutcase was able to get his hands on them. Her CONSTITUTIONAL rights aren't doing her much good now, are they?

If it was secured properly, he couldn't have gotten to it.

 

[candycorn]

Again, it's impossible to make a gun nut admit that some people shouldn't have guns outside of a court verdict that arbitrarily assigns the label of "felon" to someone.

For example, right up until he pulled the trigger, Ms. Lanza was a "responsible gun owner" because she didn't have a felony conviction. But someone like, oh, Martha Stewart is barred from owning weapons based on her felony conviction.

The Yahoo in Oklahoma that did this...can have any quantity of guns he can affrord (unless he's convicted) but Martha can't.



If you're wondering on what planet the gun nuts live...as soon as you find out, tell me.

We do lock up crazy people...in prison. That's where we house the mentally ill.

I'm quite sure she DID have the guns in a locked safe. Adam killed her and took the key; that's what I heard, anyway. I think she was negligent, but you might as well argue about the actual facts.
