I just can't shake the feeling that the supposed perpetrator wasn't alone in this. I'm also confused as to why there hasn't been much coverage on the perpetrator or the tragedy. Usually the media drives everyone insane with repeated coverage and updates. What's with the unusual silence?

I agree with what you said except for the last part. Politicians have an agenda to be gained that's obvious. High capacity clips are already illegal. They are aiming to severely restrict private gun ownership; against the laws of our land.
Twenty young lives don't mean anything to politicians. The fact that they are using the dead to push illogical and illegal legislation is proof of that. Passing legislation based on people's irrational fears is how the game works and I'm not buying in.

Psychologists who treat people with autism point out that pre-meditated violence toward others isn't one of the traits associated with the disorder in the psychiatric diagnostic manual.

So far, no motive has been brought forth and no known connection has been found between Adam Lanza or his mother and the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
