Or how about using common sense... public records prove his mom owned an AR15... you think he took all her other guns to the school but left behind the preferred weapon of mass shooters?
There were at least two long guns in the trunk and CNN also reported that the AR was not used in the shooting.
Whether he used a Bushmaster AR-15 or not what does it matter, it's been used in other killings. Even if it was used at Sandy Hook some will argue that it shouldn't be banned, what's the point.
How did this young man kill 26 people in two minutes flat leaving only one person wounded? Does anyone else find his accuracy to be pretty unbelievable.
His mother took hom to the shooting range pretty often. he knew how to use guns.
The red coat is ok but not fast.... Not to mention he sneezed a few times.
He shouldn't need the ram rod either, and if he does there is no need to waste time placing it back in the ram rod ferrules.
I know I am better with a Bess than he is, and I can load and fire a Bess better than 16 times in under 2 minutes.
I have won a lot of milk paint proving I am that good too, not to mention won a bunch of turkey shoots.
So yeah........ And a Bess has a real heavy ball, and if you really want to raise hell you load buck n ball for the first charge which is a .735 round ball with (9) .36 round balls, and one more .735.
Did you think you were telling a novice?
And then My Bess has a sticker on it around 18 inches long.....
The point is if i were insane I could scare the pants off a lot of sheep with a Brown Bess.
The gun is not the problem......
Insanity IS.
If you happen to know which video is the one several guys are talking about where the charging handle is pulled up to 10 times Would you please link me to it?
I just want to ID the gun and decide for myself if the cop is a trained expert. I get the idea he isn't.
I can't fathom why anyone would pull a charging handle that many times for any reason..
And oh I have in fact built a lot of muskets from parts kits and a few from plain old shop junk. Milling and drilling metal is easy..... I can make a 'swamped barrel' anytime i want...
I won't argue that insanity is the problem, but this idea that the type of gun doesn't matter just simply isn't true. It's only slightly less ridiculous than the guns=knives=rocks argument that the gun supporters throw out there.
If the lethal capacity of a gun "didn't matter" then why aren't we still outfitting our military with brown bess muskets.
A musket weilding crazy is going to get one or two people before he is a) disarmed or b) everybody runs away.

If the POTENTIAL of the weapon is the issue on which you base your argument, that bears discussion. Using that criteria, legislators would be up far past their bedtime for things to put on the list to ban or restrict. Since 5 gallons of gasoline has the potential to be 20 times more deadly tban an AR 15, we should at least have to resister, fingerprint, and I justify our need whenever we gas up, yes? Household cleaners can be mixed to make things like phosgene gas, therefore, since tbe deadly potential, again, is far greater than any firearm, whenever we clean our toilets tbese cbemicals should only be dispensed according to need, and the need must be verified, tbe user registered, and the chemical use monitored by Federal agencies. There ya go! Now lets make a safer society!
And, furthermore, if you live within 200 yards of a school, your car must be a subcompact, and you are allowed only 2 gallons of gas in it at any time. Only enough household cleaners to clen once a week can be in your home. You are also required to use only plastic silverware and it must be broken up after use. Oh.....could I go on and on....

This shooting is "different". That's what everyone is saying.

Again, anyone who has been to a tactical shotgun course or has seen a tactical shotgun competition, could quite successfully argue that Lanza could have done just as much(and quite possibly MORE) damage with the 12 gauge.
I AM here, dude, and no one here outside of the tinfoil hat crowd thinks the ME or police department is lying. You folks outside of here with your gun fondling agenda, of course, are welcome to make up whatever lies you want about the massacre to further your agenda of arming every man, woman and child in America in order to sell more guns and normalize your sick obsession. We really have no use for you, Rush, or any other delusional gun worshipper.
What a waste of bandwidth that post was.
As usual, you address no specific points ... just the typical juvenile remarks of no substance.
My only "obsession" is with the truth .... and it's sad that so many are allergic to it.
And you're wrong .... this entire debacle of a staged event is unraveling at the seams for everyone accept the drooling knuckle draggers that will believe any lame story fed them ... including stories that change every 5 minutes, and contradict each other.
The level of ignorance displayed is indescribable.
