None of the specific evidence about which firearm Lanza used has been released. The colorado theatre nutjob used several firearms also. The DC Snipers committed individual homicides, not mass murder. Being the most popular rifle sold over the last several years, they are going to show up in some rifle homicides, and some rifle homicides are mutiple slayings. The bank robbers who slayed FBI agents in the 1986 Miami gunfight used a mini-14. Patrick Purdy used an AK47. Lon Horiuchi uses a Renington 700.

25 incidents listed in Wickipedia under Mass Killings with explosive/fire killed more people than Adam Lanza did.
Many of these fires and explosions deliberately killed 100's. Most mass murderers using firearms commit suicide and some are killed by police. Most of these fire and explosion types do not. |

From the website link from OP:
The gun is legal and lethal. The AR-15 is seven pounds of steel and plastic that can fire a bullet at roughly 3,000 feet-per-second. Sounds like they know what the fuck they are talking about. |

If I ever have to shoot someone I am not going for injury I am going for death. Shooting someone is a last resort option when all else fails. I escalate appropriately based on the situation. If I have to shoot someone I want to kill them because they are a threat to my life at that moment. I don't fucking understand why these libtards are obsessed over injury. |
