At a local bar, she sometimes talked about her gun collection. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Investigators have linked Ms. Lanza to five weapons: two powerful handguns, two traditional hunting rifles and a semiautomatic rifle that is similar to weapons used by troops in Afghanistan. Her son took the two handguns and the semiautomatic rifle to the school. Law enforcement officials said they believed the guns were acquired legally and were registered. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/12\/16\/nyregion\/friends-of-gunmans-mother-his-first-victim-recall-her-as-generous.html?google_editors_picks=true&amp;_r=0\">Adam Lanza\u2019s Mother Was a Gun Enthusiast, Friends Say &#8211; NYTimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Lanza\u2019s Mother Was a Gun Enthusiast, Friends Say &#8211; NYTimes.com By MATT FLEGENHEIMER and RAVI SOMAIYA Published: December 15, 2012 NEWTOWN, Conn. \u2014 Nancy Lanza loved guns, and often took her sons to one of the shooting ranges here in the suburbs northeast of New York City, where there is an active community of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/nada\/adam-lanzas-mother-was-a-gun-enthusiast-friends-say-nytimes-com\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Adam Lanza&rsquo;s Mother Was a Gun Enthusiast, Friends Say &#8211; NYTimes.com<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5560"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5561,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5560\/revisions\/5561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
