MERIDEN, Connecticut (Reuters) - The gunman who attacked a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school in December had several additional firearms not used in the attack and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, according to court papers released on Thursday.
Connecticut officials released dozens of pages of court documents on their investigation into Adam Lanza, a 20-year old man who killed his mother, 20 first grade school children and six staff members before turning a gun on himself in the second deadliest school shooting on record in the United States.
A 90-day sealing order expired on the search warrants that were served on Lanza's home and property. The search also turned up certificates from the National Rifle Association gun-lobby group in the names of both Adam Lanza and his mother, Nancy Lanza.
The assault last December 14 at the Sandy Hook Elementary School prompted President Barack Obama to call it the worst day of his presidency and reignited a debate on gun violence in the United States. In response to the attack, the NRA called for armed guards to patrol every public school in the country.

And after reading your comment this stood out to me:
What is the law in Connecticut regarding age and firearm ownership?
That we started tracking ammunition sales along with
internet purchases of magazines, body armor and other tactical
gear sold both locally and through the internet?
Seems to me that if we had such records, the FBI could flag special
excessive purchases for special review. Who knows, it might have helped
prevent some of the mass shootings we've had since the
assault weapons ban expired.
A weapon is harmless if you don't have ammo or high capacity
clips easily available.
