The most 'telling part of the story' was that he got into an argument with school staff members on the 13th.

He then tried to go buy a rifle and was denied for reasons unstated (newscaster said there is a waiting period which might have been one).

What's my point (if you don't know already)?

He got into an argument. He was mad. He went to buy a gun and put the argument to rest. Was denied. No big deal. He knew where there were ample guns. He went and got those guns and... the rest is history.

Go buy some more guns unsung. I'm likely not alone when I say to you I have no more time or energy to dedicate trying to illustrate the glaring and ridiculously obvious need for gun reform in your country. I mean... what more can possibly be said?

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

The video in the OP is from Dec. 15th. Much has been learned since then.

Setting the Record Straight: Adam Lanza Did use the Bushmaster AR-15
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | December 27th, 2012 at 08:12 PM | 25

RESIZE: AAA
The media did a horrible job getting its facts and figures straight during and after the tragedy in Connecticut. Gun control advocates have seized on a lot of information and ignored a lot of information in an effort to push their agenda.

But I’m seeing gun rights supporters do the same. Most troubling, over the past week on radio filling in for Neal Boortz I’ve heard from dozens of callers, tweeters, Facebook friends, and email correspondents assuring me that Adam Lanza never used the AR-15 in his possession. Most people linked to a video purportedly showing the police retrieving the AR-15 from Adam Lanza’s car after the incident.

I don’t blame these people for getting the facts wrong. The media caused a lot of the misinformation in their rush to cover the story. But as the nation begins to set policy (or not) based on this random act of violence, we should all have our facts straight.

The fact is, Adam Lanza used a handgun to take his own life, but he relied on the Bushmaster AR-15 to kill most of the victims. He did use that gun. You don’t have to believe me. Believe Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance:

The primary weapon used in the attack was a “Bushmaster AR-15 assault-type weapon,” said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance.

Let’s keep to the facts, not the grainy videos on YouTube purporting to show what is not true.

You mean much has been changed.

The gun was found in the car.

It's wool pulled over the eyes of America.

The above is a link to a press conference the medical examiner gave in which he said all wounds he is aware of were caused by the long weapon (he had performed 7 of the autopsies). Then someone asks if the rifle was the primary weapon and he says "yes".

It's just a simple internet search.

[PJ_Soul]

Yeah, it was first reported that the long gun was in the car (I mentioned thatyselfnin some other thread right after it happened). But it's really old news now that that was NOT in fact the case, and that he did use the long gun in the killing. It was, in fact, the main weapon used. If you don't known this by now unsung, you are wearing some SERIOUS blinders. If you are going to use a recent tragedy to support your views, then you should probably pay closer attention to the details of the tragedy.
The media did a poor job of reporting at first with this.

The gunman was 20. Connecticut law is 21 to buy a gun. There is also a waiting period.

Yep. Never let the facts get in the way of some good old political spin. Kinda funny given the Rahm Emmanuel quote earlier on.

Yes, much of the story as it initially came out were wrong. Once again, our media was dead set on being first than being right.

They initially reported that his mother was a teacher there, and she was killed in her classroom with the kids. It was also reported that Ryan Lanza (his older brother) was the shooter, and Ryan's facebook profile was even shown.

So yes, details have changed, not "have been changed", but keep trying to spin things...

[mickeyrat]

yep, from the time he put it in the car to the time he took it out to shoot up the school, it never left the car.

What about the two men running from the scene the cops chased down in the woods? Anyone heard who these guys were?

This is the first time I've even heard that.... I'm going to assume they were no one.
