Left me feeling empty for a few days.
Today's the 3rd Anniversary and there's been little change effected in common sense gun regulations.
It's the biggest 'shit happens' of all time.
It was awful, and preventable.
Several of the victims' families sued Nancy Lanza's estate and will split $1.5million; $93,750 each. The settlements were finalized December 17, three days after the community of Newtown marked the third anniversary of the mass shooting.
The lawsuits said Nancy Lanza failed to properly secure her legally owned AR-15 rifle in her home and was liable for giving Adam Lanza access to it.
I'm glad the families got the money, though it's not much consolation for them, I'm sure.
They're also suing Bushmaster, the maker of the AR15 Lanza used in the massacre. I doubt they'll win that one (and don't think they should win it, personally).
