Carrying that much ammunition, plus 3 weapons, adding in tbe poor physical stature of Lanza, does not support your claim. Please, don't open mouth before engaging brain. I am a well conditioned 200 pound man, and would have had a hard time carrying that kind of load any distance, let alone be shooting at the same time.
So . . . what's YOUR theory of what happened? An accomplice? All the kids are still alive? Abducted by aliens? I just can't see where this is all going.

Oh, by all means, enlighten us with what you believe actually happened. A 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll?

I don't know what happened anymore then anyone else but I do know that there are an awful lot of inconsistencies and this is one of many things that stands out as being extremely odd. Based on what I have read I think it's likely that there were multiple shooters.

I'm neither sensationalizing nor speculating one iota. Do you not think this shooting meets the criteria for "sensational"? (And who cares what you think you might be able to shoot up? This is about the Newtown Massacre and not your fantasy.)

Google is your friend. For truth, remove your self-imposed filters and read multiple points of view rather than your propaganda. Find the official words, issued by Vance of the CSP. Study the data from reputable sources rather than getting your intel from this batcrazy forum. Oh, wait, you don't believe the reputable sources and that's why you're on this thread.

I realize most posting here will continue, voraciously, to rationalize and justify this crap amongst yourselves. Things like "you can survive multiple gunshot wounds..." What's the damned point of debating that...that bullets aren't a problem because some people survive?

You don't want to hear the facts about the horror that was inflicted by guns upon these victims. You just wanna play with your guns and dismiss the reality. Go play. And continue to be duped by your *sources*.

A question for all the antis out there:
Who holds more "military style assault weapons of war", civilians, or law enforcement personnel? (remember, that includes every body from your local deputy sheriff to the Secret Service!)
An old quote comes to mind (I don't remember the original Latin) "WHO guards the Guardians?"

You find it "extremely odd" that tiny, little people would actually die when shot multiple times at close range by a high-powered rifle?

I find that extremely odd.

The mainstream media has been my main source of information and it has left me with so many questions due to the many many inconsistencies. I don't need Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones or anyone else wearing a tin foil hat to tell me these things because they are glaringly obvious to anyone who has followed the story closely from the morning of the shooting. If there were one or two inconsistencies then I would dismiss it as shoddy reporting but there are so so many that it's mind boggling and leads me to wonder.

I find that extremely odd.
I don't find it odd that many were killed, I find it odd that every single one of them was killed, by one person in a 2 minute span of time.

"You don't want to hear the facts about the horror that was inflicted by guns upon these victims."

No, sorry, but the guns did NOT inflict anything on anybody. All the damage was done by one mentally ill person. Yes, he used guns. If he had used a machete, would you be demanding that all knives over an inch long be banned, restricted, or registered? How about if he had used a chainsaw? How about if he had run his vehicle through the playground during recess?
WHY do you insist on blaming the tool instead of the person?
Please try this experiment. Take any tool you choose from your house, and lay it on the sidewalk. Point at a neighbor you can't stand, and say "KILL!" What happened?
Now, pick up the tool and attack your neighbor. What happened?
See, the PERSON made the difference!
A tool has NO responsibility!
