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?

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.
"With our thoughts we make the world"
The gun was found in the car.
Rahm Emmanuel said, "never let a good crisis go to waste."
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.
"With our thoughts we make the world"
The media did a poor job of reporting at first with this.

Yep. Never let the facts get in the way of some good old political spin. Kinda funny given the Rahm Emmanuel quote earlier on.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
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...

I have been a victim of a fart assault. Many times. My cousin used to hold me down and fart in my face. I was much smaller and younger at the time. There wasn't much I could do except hold my breath and pray to God I wouldn't get pink eye.

You DO realize that the report you posted was from 15December2012... correct? That was the morning after the murders.
Since that time, facts have surfaced to paint a clearer picture of what happened that day.
...
Come on... you are smarter than that. These type of looney conspiracy theories does nothing but erode away your credibility. The 'Government' had no hand in either the killings nor the reporting... and what you are alleging falls into the ranks of the black helicopters, contrails of doom and George W. Bush evolving from reptiles lunacy.
Please, come back to planet Earth and make rational statements... based in truth and fact... like you used to do.
Hail, Hail!!!
Right, but how does it explain the assault rifle being found in the trunk after the attack?
nowadays hits you when you're young
If the medical examiner is being discounted as part of some liberal conspiracy (seriously?) I don't think there will be any proof out there that will convince the skeptics.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Can I just point out that the AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that just shares designs with an assault rifle.....
I hear you, I was just hoping someone could come up with a better argument than "I doubt the medical examiner would lie", especially when there IS video of the cops taking a rifle out of the trunk, and news clips reporting it wasn't used. I agree it's an outlandish conspiracy, but hard to disprove completely without insulting the other person for being loony.

Yes. I survived. I still tremble a touch when someone rips one close to me, but aside from any psychosomatic reactions... I live a relatively normal life.
So I guess what I'm looking for is a specific report that says 1 assault rifle was found on the scene, and ANOTHER was found in the trunk of his car. If only 1 was found, and it was in the trunk after the murders, it would be hard to argue that it was used in the attacks, no?
