This psycho used 2 handguns... what assault weapon!?!?

You don't know how to use Google? Why are you making others do your legwork?

Because you guys are smart and I trust you to tell the truth and to help me see things from a different perspective. Case in point the person who posted that AR15s are not "assault weapons". I was still using the media hype definition when in reality only full auto weapons are. But that definition is one that needs to be changed and thank you for helping me see that I need to personally change my definition and wording.

thanks Chunky, again, I am just trying to bat down all the calls from people I know or friends of friends to bring the ban back. I just came here hoping that you all can help me help us.

No shooting like this that I know has been used with a title 2 so there's no point I'm putting it into that category

I think the shooter was 20 years old (not sure about this). If so, Federal law says he cannot purchase handguns. So the handguns were illegal or stolen or taken from a friend or family member. Apparently he had 2 handguns. Does conneticut have a law stating possession of handguns is prohibited by those under 21????? If so, here is another law this nutbag broke.

that's not all technically true at least in the state of Colorado a person under 21 can purchase a handgun purchase a handgun from a private party proving age and resedencey and no criminal record, however a person under the age of 21 cannot purchase a handgun from a FFL

assault is for the offense

I have liberal acquaintances, only a couple do I consider friends, and they wouldn't start calling and bashing me over this incident. IMHO, i'd consider looking at the friends chosen, or the designation of "friend" to you. I'm not attacking, just typing out loud.

Good luck.

I think it is more constructive to talk to all people, including ones that don't agree with you. The more we talk, the better we all are in the end. I don't like the idea of un friending people just because we don't 100% agree with all things the same. At least this is my view.

Understood, it's just tthe "no civilian can own" part I was responding to. Mags vs clips doesn't really make any difference in what happened but everyone still bitches when the media gets it wrong.

Does anyone have a link to a story that names the type of weapons used? I have not found one yet.
