AR15 never left the trunk and gun ban folks are trying to say that it was "quote" used in the shooting. Lovely.

That Looks like a shotgun he's clearing.  Definitely not an AR-15 with the position of the guy's hands while he cycles the action.

That's the "Bushwhacker" I've been hearing so much about??  WTF? That looks like it has a RIGHT side charging handle and it does look like a shot shell. Hard to tell, NOT an AR.

Could be worse, nbc news just claimed that the state police securing the shooters mothers home have heavy artillery

Geoffrey,

   I feel that your article on the weapons used at the tragic Sandy Hook shooting is misleading and may have confused the facts regarding the firearms used and firearm ownership in general.

   In your first paragraph, you mention that "The bushmaster rifle was found in the trunk of the shooter's car. The Sig Sauer and Glock pistols were the only weapons used in the shooting, according to CBS." However, you later go on to speculate on what type of Sig Sauer "assault style rifle" may have been used. I think this suggests that assault rifles were used in the actual shooting, and while the shooter may have intended to use the Bushmaster rifle it does not sound like this was the case at all.

    In your speculation regarding firearm purchases, you write: "...but a simple trip across the border into Pennsylvania can secure weapons illegal in both those aforementioned states, or one can just buy weapons on the web." While two neighboring states may have vastly different laws regarding magazine capacity and firearm sales, there is no such thing as a "simple" drive across borders to purchase them. Per Federal Law, all firearm purchases from a state other than that of the buyer's residency must be done through a Federally licensed dealer [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and 922(b)(3)], and the firearm would have to be shipped directly to an FFL dealer in the state of purchase who would then verify the eligibility of the buyer.
   The same follows to purchases over the internet. I feel that your article, among many other news and blog articles recently, imply that internet sales of firearms work the same way as a purchase from Amazon.com! This is simply not the case! The same requirement for a Federally licensed dealer to perform a background check is required for all internet sales, and an FFL licensed dealer MUST be utilized to receive a firearm shipped from another state.
   Even if a Connecticut resident were to try to purchase illegal firearms in Pennsylvania from a private owner, that owner is bound by state law to ensure that he or she is only selling to residents of that state in accordance with the laws of both states.

   As a journalist, please ensure that you represent facts regarding your story and especially Federal law accurately, and without personal speculation or assumption. Many people read your articles, and incomplete or incorrect information can negatively impact your readers.

Respectfully,
Shane Bergeron

That is NOT an AR and I am now wondering where that i.d. came from? That is a shotgun, you can see the shell clearly leave the chamber into the trunk of that car. Where did the media get an AR15 from?

Stupid is believing that bashing guns and their owners

is use to talk about firearms preferences.  



The way these haters bash them I wouldn't be surprised.

Who the hell knows who is behind some of these accounts

Quoted:



yep, looks a lot to me like an SKS with a fiberforce stock.





As for the .223 ammo, maybe dipshit grabbed the wrong rounds?

Don't worry...if they ban Glocks
lots of Glock haters from this forum will be happy.

Update: The bushmaster rifle was found in the trunk of the shooter's car. The Sig Sauer and Glock pistols were the only weapons used in the shooting, according to CBS.

Quoted:
The banner across the screen on CNN this morning declared that Glock and Sig REVOLVERS were used........These people are so ignorant. The gist of the reporting was how the Bushmaster COULD have been used and evil THIRTY round "clips" COULD have been used.

No reporting of facts, just endless speculation cause that.'s more sensational.

Quoted:
99% sure that's a Saiga 12.

However, I read somewhere on here that he used a 10mm Glock? Is that confirmed?

Quoted:
I can't help but to think that profiteering is driving what you have seen in the news regarding this tragedy. There should be a law passed that all excess profits generated by the news coverage be used to compensate the victims.

Quoted:
Did anyone else catch one of the cops in the original videos that was being replayed with what appeared to be a FN FAL?

Didn't know anyone in this state had those for issue.  Kinda weird choice in 2012.

Quoted:


Im pretty sure I saw 1 with either an HK G3 or a PTR91.

Quoted:
According to MSNBC, it was an evil black automatic firearm that corrupted the soul of everyone that touched it.

So fucking glad that I'm spending 8 hours on a plane tomorrow and will have 8 hours away from internet and news. Even happier I won't have to spend the next week listening to German civilians talk about how fucked up America is (I already caught a dose of that getting some coffee across the street a few hours ago).

The ejected shell was huge, and the way that it ejected and fell looked exactly like a live 12 gauge shell.  A centerfire rifle would typically throw an ejected shell much further.  I thought it was a converted Saiga-12 at first, but it could be a lot of semi-auto shotguns with a charging handle.
