Adam Lanza was a young adult with a mental illness that had an obsession with school shootings. On the day of December 14, 2012, Lanza made his violent obsession become reality when he decided to kill his mother while she was sleeping in her bed, then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary to commit the most horrible crime of all time. Lanza shot his way through the school entrance killing 27 people that including the school facility and students. The counting difficulties are hard to think of with this case, but as far as the labeling difficulties go Lanza is an individual who had the mental illness, so it hard to say what he’s capable of with the mental illness that he had.…

Sandy Hook Shooting Conspiracies The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was a tragic event, with twenty six dead and only questions remaining, it’s hard not to sympathize with the families of those lost. There is a movement, however, that claims the shooting was false (Spaeth). The shooting is believed to have been staged in order to pave the way for stricter gun control (Salazar). Conspiracy theorists, calling themselves Truthers, have presented evidence to support their claims numerous times in attempts to convince the general population.…
Simultaneously asserting that America has been a world leader in many areas, he argues that it has nonetheless failed miserably in protecting its own people from this type of violence due to the gun lobby’s manipulation of the American political system. Murphy proposes that mass slaughters, such as this, are a nearly uniquely American experience and that a change in gun regulation is the sole and long overdue answer to preventing more of the same. Murphy was a state congressman in Connecticut at the time that Adam Lanza shot and killed twenty-six people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As such, his experience during that atrocity, together with statistical evidence…

Many things in our world anger me, but when I hear that our new President has just made it legal for mentally ill Americans to purchase guns, I go ballistic. The second amendment states that we are given the right to bear arms legally, but I think that our founding fathers did not mean that someone mentally ill is allowed to purchase firearms. Events occur all around the world that give evidence as to why firearms should not even be allowed to be purchased even by the average human being. The Newtown shooting occurred at Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012 and it is a day we will never forget.…
