As for my stance on gun control, quit blaming the weapon, learn to blame the idiot who uses them illegally. I live within the confines of the law, and the law keeps changing because there are those that refuse to live as we should. Changing the current laws would do nothing, especially in this case. The guy is a mentally ill 20 year old. According to CT law, it's against the law for anyone under the age of 21 to possess a handgun.
One report claims that a .223 caliber rifle was used...most people think of assault weapons when they think of .223. If it was an assault weapon, those are also banned in CT.
How's those gun laws working for ya?
The nutjob killed his parents, then killed the kids...NOT THE GUN. The gun is an inanimate object. If they were killed with rocks, would you be saying that we need to discuss rock control laws?

If you wish to compare guns to cars, how about we also compare them to nukes? Nukes are an inanimate object too – yet the entire western world agrees the world should adhere to the non-proliferation treaty. Using your logic, Iran, as a sovereign nation should be allowed to exercise their right and develop a nuke. Just like on an individual level, you are allowed to possess your gun. After all, its not the nuke that’s gonna potentially kill people, right?
