View Full Version : 9 News at it again
I just heard 9 News state that the Sandy Hook shooter used an asult type rifle instead of handguns. I thought it was realease the shooter used a Glock and a Sig Sauer?
What i heard was he had a Sig and a Glock but used the Bushmaster on all the victims.
I heard he used the two handguns but the rifle was found in his car.

Initial reports all indicated handguns were used. It came out later, after the coroner released a statement that all (or most, anyway) victims were shot with a rifle.

Everything I saw overnight indicated ar-15 used to kill all in school except himself, which he used a pistol.for. the shotgun was left in his car. Fox, CBS , NBC etc.are.all editing their stories to.reflect this.

Putting a little cold science on the table... While I do not doubt the coroners ability, but has he ever seen wound channel of a 9mm at close range vs .223 at close range in a child? Then to the police, I am interested in what spent brass was found on the scene.
Unfortunately, the media reports what it is told, and I am not putting on a tinfoil hat yet, but when the initial reports indicated handguns, not sure how you confuse hand gun to rifle.
What shotgun? We've only heard of the rifle and handguns.
Initially it was the handguns with rifle in car. Later after coroner report and I would assume seeing casings it was released as being the rifle that did the work and offed himself with the handgun.
@ Kraven
There is a lot of conspiracy on that. Myself given the political leanings of that area wouldn't put it past them to try blaming it on the rifle knowing the fallout. But then again unless they outright falsify stuff I think that would come out as untrue in the weeks ahead.
I think it's the media will seize on anyones comment and run with it. In high school a year after columbine there was a scare and a lockdown. I got stuck outside as it was my lunch period. One cop on perimeter was talking to reporters informally that it was some kids dad was angry and making a statement etc. Turned out it was a formerly smart girl that smoked her self stupid panicked at a guy with a cell phone and was even locked in the same room with him. Didn't realize it was same guy...

exactly what I've heard as well
Doesn't really matter. A lot of people are dead at the hands of guns. That is all you need to know as the guns are to blame and need to be banned.
I just saw an idiot ignorant reporter say "the killer used a fully automatic assault rifle" fricken idiots

I've heard so many mixed reports, I believe them about as much as I believe their weather forecasts. Hell, one channel even called the "assault" rife a BUSHWACKER lol.

one local station is getting around the whole Clips/Mags thing by just calling them 'accessories'.

CBS this morning said he had a Glock 20SF, which was a very large caliber handgun that was issued to rangers in Greenland for protection against polar bears. Lanza reserved this gun for his suicide shot because he knew it would get the job done.
CBS also then referred to the school employees killed as a group of dedicated women who tried to stop the attack. Not teachers, not employees, but women.
this NBC report says the same thing--that Lanza killed 20 children and 6 women--just another angle to sensationalize the story

What if we, as a condition of the continued use of public airwaves, require television and radio news outlets be owned and controlled only by non-profit organizations? Maybe it would help to curb some of the sensationalist spin on "news" stories if their primary goal wasn't to sell ad space? Just thinking out loud.

I believe those are just the facts. I dislike the MSM, but this quote is factual.
Who the hell uses full auto anyways, semi auto is the way to go in 99% of the situations that you encounter.

Well, according to CSI they can tell the difference between 9mm, 38SPL, and 357MAG just by looking at a mushroomed bullet! [facepalm]

And what kind of gun fired it... I'm sure by next year, they'll start saying "Yeah, here's the serial # at the bottom of the bullet..."

Its a better story for the gun grabbers
I heard he used the two handguns but the rifle was found in his car.
Not only is that pistol designed to kill people but Polar Bears too?Pure evil.I thought all the polar bears died from global warming anyway.
For the media being in the pocket of Libs and Dems they sure can't get their stories right! Their heads are so far up their asses! Hey look at that, you guys have me saying Libs and Dems now and they have me hating them! [Muaha]
You've got to be joking.
I shot a polar bear with my 20SF. He flew back 10 feet.
CIA cover up. I'm just sayin'.

Most of the major "facts" that the MSM announced, during their pathetic "race to be first with the breaking story", have now all been proven to be wrong, according to non-MSM sources.
So, when did the media stop caring about their responsibility to the TRUTH? And they wonder why people today aren't trustworthy and are 'messed up'? They're just following the examples given to them by their leaders...

And that my friends is the problem .

Just spit milk soaked oreo's all over my computer desk I lol'd so hard, thanks.

I seen a fired bullet recently with a serial number printed on the bottom of it. I guess someone somewhere as started putting numbers on it. But I don't think it said caliber or had anyones name of it. Those are just myths so far.
