And, how does an event that didn't even feature an "assault weapon" become a catalyst for a push towards a ban on "assault weapons"? 
I would hate to start thinking that the government makes policy based on poorly-researched knee-jerk emotional thinking...

QUOTE How does a young man with no criminal record fail a background check?
From what I see, there is no waitaing period to purchase a handgun, which is what Lanza tried to buy. There is however a 14 day minimum waiting period to get a purchase permit. QUOTE 16.Conn. Gen. Stat. § 29-37a. Connecticut requires a permit for purchase of a handgun. It may take up to 60 days after a record check from the FBI for such a permit to issue. Licensing laws of this kind play a similar role to waiting period laws. See our Licensing of Gun Owners and Purchasers policy summary for information about licensing laws in Connecticut and other states.

The elephant in the room is how, as a nation, we deal with mental health.
The new weapons ban bill introduced by Senator Feinstein is nothing but a distraction to the real problems and the pro-gun groups are falling for it.
Conservative and liberal gun rights advocates are on the defense and allowed it to get to this point. They should have went on the offense by bringing mental health to the forefront of this issue.
...nuff said.

He was only 20, he wasn't old enough to purchase a handgun.
So he didn't fail a background check?
redstate setting the record straight on the assault rifle that was used.

The primary weapon used in the attack was a “Bushmaster AR-15 assault-type weapon,” said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance.

Every country has mental health issues.
Evidently you have no experience in how it is dealt with in this country. Nothing can be done til it is too late. We have people amongst us who are not thinking quite clearly. They do not perceive reality as it is. They can be led to medication, yet can not be forced to take it.
We have enough laws on the books for weapons. They just don't get enforced like they were intended. Now we have folks running around saying that we need to give up our rights to certain legal weapons because of the actions of the above mentioned. If you step back and take a rational look at it, you will realize it is not the weapon but the ones who are not thinking clearly, that have done the damage.
