I think you're trying to go in deeper than it really needs to be. I'll just say that I've never heard of a drunk driver saying that he's going to get drunk and drive so he can slaughter someone. Even if the person is inebriated, I doubt their intent is to kill.

I don't think mental state should be ignored for gun killings. You pick up a gun and shoot and kill, then you still deserve the harshest of punishments.

No need to put words on my monitor, man.
So, how do we know what was going on in the Newtown shooters mind as he was pulling the trigger?
Killing by car, gun, knife, rock, fist, etc is still killing.
