dbHunterNY Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 so i'm annoyed they insisted on saying his name and showing his face over and over again but.... news reports are finally matching up to initial reports of an AR-15 not being used and a stolen AR-15 only remained in the trunk of the shooter's car the entire time things took place. My wife and others have been hearing more and more that the shooter only used an AR-15 in the shooting. Not that it changes anything about the outcome or brings any innocent life back. Just thought i'd share the info, because findings based on reports were starting to get pretty muddy.

Ravin R10 man Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 think most us gun owners knew the left was twisting the tragidy to suit their agenda...same 'ol stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 You know, I heard that as well at first, that the AR was in the trunk, and then it turned into the weapon used. I just wish the media would get it right, for ONCE! Just like Wayne LaPierre said, the media takes alot of fault in what has been reported, as they report only what they "want" to. Look at NBC and the Zimmerman case, how they edited the 911 call to portray Zimmerman as a racist, only to have the REAL unedited version come out later.

wtnhunt Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 First and foremost, still sensitive and still makes me sick to think about those poor kids their families and the adults who tried to keep them safe whose lives were cut short. Early report when this was breaking as I was watching on fox the media said only handguns were used and an AR was found in the trunk and they even went on to say the casualties could have been much worse had he took the AR in the school with him. Later on about the time the brother was accused the media started making the claims that the AR was used and that was the reason for the high casualties, being that it had a high capacity. Just another example of the media getting it wrong and in the process spurring unnecessary hype. No way to undo the damage the media has done.

gzilla45 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks for posting. I sent this to about 75 friends and family as I'm not sure of the traction it will get in the media. If I can find Piers Morgan's email address, I'll send it to him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks for posting that info. The media creates stories and the dirt bag liberals will NEVER waste a tragedy to further their agenda. Molon Labe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
535hunter Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 About time some media coverage got the details right. Now we wait for Hillary Clinton to over come the " concussion " she magically developed in order to avoid testifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a shotgun to me. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 NOT an AR..that was indeed a shotgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Where I am even more confused now, is the fact that watching the coroner give a statement (why he did is beyond me), he even claimed that the victims suffered multiple "rifle" shots. So who knows....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 he referred to it as the "long weapon" but then wouldn't confirm a caliber are anything about it. like i said everything is sketchy and clear as mud when it comes to reports about what happened. it's sad in itself not given the situation.

Adjam5 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I would really like to get to the bottom of this story. I guess after the investigation is closed. Everything will come out. The story said 4 handguns were used. Just by the count of spent brass. Police will know what was used and the shot count. If a AR type rifle was not used at all...Boy oh Boy did the press have a agenda here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country gal Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Report: No AR-15 used in Sandy Hook shooting Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't an AR look more like a military type rifle? (Please keep in mind I'm more into archery than rifles.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't an AR look more like a military type rifle? (Please keep in mind I'm more into archery than rifles.) You are correct..it "looks" like a militray rifle, but it has no function as a" fully automatic" rifle...you still pull the trigger for each shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
