Nancy Lanza, 52, a 'survivalist,' was preparing for the end of the world economy by stockpiling food
She was killed by her son, Adam Lanza, before the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut
She had five guns registered to her name, two of which her son used for killings
I prep but not for 12/21 or for space aliens or zombies. I prep because events like hurricane sandy happen, earthquakes, and sadly even riots. No fiat paper money like ours has lasted for ever, and if ours collapses because of continued over spending I would like to be prepared. It's just a guess but I'd say 80/90% of serious preppers take fire arm ownership and training seriously. My understanding is no range in the area of her home has ever seen her?
OP report is based on a single interview of a single family member. Going off half-cocked (no pun intended) is what got brother Ryan Lanza fingered for the shooting before the truth came out.
I think people should in all cases be a bit more calm and less credulous when a news source puts out info. I think that there is a LOT going on underneath the surface that will eventually shed light on why this young man did such a horrifying thing.
I didn't say it was just one media source. I was referring solely to the OP article cited, which cites a single interview with a family member, with no corroboration.
I think "interview with a family member" to be the functional statement in your post.
Nice judgment based on speculation f what may or may not be a relevant factor. Her son didnt stand a chance...why exactly? She was by all accounts a loving and caring mother that retired early to stay home and home school her autistic child. Father long gone. Mother took care of, nurtured, and provided for her child. And because she may or may not have prepared to some level her child didnt stand a chance? Project much???Even worse...and End Timers. Wing nut bat crazy...her son didn't stand a chance.
"corroboration" should have been.
There has been so much contradictory reporting about this event, the shooter and the family that I take all of it with a grain of salt.
The mother: A prepper gun nut. A normal lady like the rest of the neighbors. A teacher at the school. Maybe a substitute teacher at the school. Not a teacher at the school.
The shooter: A shy loner. A part of the tech club. A goth. Wears khaki's and a pocket protector.
The event: Do I really need to list all the stuff that came out during the course of last Friday?
Y'all will excuse me, I'm sure, if I wait till an official police report is revealed.
Why? These were statements from a family member who knew a lot more about what was going on then most. If another person corroborated you would just tell people to ignore it because there are not 3.
In a court of law these statements from one single family member would be allowed into evidence.
The simple phrase out there "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" has never been more true. A psychopath will use whatever means is available to kill. That could be as simple as firework powered scraped into a pipe bomb.
The whole "ban guns" argument is a faulty one because it only addresses a tool, not the problem.

Read the article. It's the typical muckrake. That family member did not say what they twisted her as saying. She just [reportedly] said she was a prepper and that she was prepared for economic collapse. No mention of December 21st. The same family member has been telling all the other reporters that Nancy was a cheerful, loving asset to the community.
In an interview the killer's aunt said Nancy Lanza was 'self-reliant' and indicated she was a 'prepper', or a person who prepares for Doomsday by learning essential survival skills - like how to shoot a gun.
Speaking from her home near Chicago, Marsha Lanza, 57, said: 'She was stockpiling food. We talked about prepping a lot. She was getting ready for the economic collapse.
'I think she had the guns for self-defense because she lived alone.'
The Mayan Apocalypse, which the ancient Mayan people thought would mark the end of the world, will supposedly take place on December 21, although it is not clear if Adam thought that was the case.

That's sounds logical. People really do need to step off of the ledge and come back down here to earth.
The woman's sister, who talked with her "a lot" about stockpiling food and "prepping" is now a dubious witness.
