No need for agonised puzzlement. It's simple. Lanza was a psychopath. Many are. Difference is, he lived in a culture that glorifies guns.

@dibblego@RichardDawkins think the point is that glorification of guns => mass ownership of guns which, in turn, => more massacres
@oxbow_lakes @RichardDawkins I have seen no data for this, just awful reasoning, akin to the apologists whose incoherence we all despise.

@dibblego does "I have not seen" equate to "I have studied the subject and it does not exist"? -
@oxbow_lakes No. Almost.

@mwotton@oxbow_lakes@RichardDawkins No gun massacres in Australia since the 100th AFL premiership.
