Oh my God, it gets worse:

EXCLUSIVE: Nancy Lanza feared son, Adam, was ‘getting worse’; told friend ‘he was burning himself with a lighter’ and that she was ‘losing him’

Adam, who killed Nancy Lanza, 54, before unleashing a nightmarish attack that killed 20 children and six others at the school Friday, was prone to hurting himself, the drinking buddy said.

“Nancy told me he was burning himself with a lighter. In the ankles or arms or something,” he recalled of a conversation they had about a year ago. “It was like he was trying to feel something.”

WHY would you keep guns ANYWHERE NEAR someone in that state! Why, why, WHY?

Screw the safe - they shouldn’t have even been in the goddamned house. They should have been turned in to police, given to other relatives, whatever, anything to get them away from that kid. And if she was keeping them to protect herself from him…how exactly did that work out??

This is most definitely not my area of expertise, but isn’t it usually the case that people who do that kind of self-mutilation don’t harm others?
