The CT shooting had an AR style in his car, but he used handguns in the actual shooting. The media frenzied on the AR at the scene and reported mainly that it was used in the shooting.
I agree. They keep saying he used an assault rifle in the attack. But it's already been confirmed that it was in the car and never used. I hate the media and I hate our government for covering up the truth.
What citations exist on that confirmation. As of now, I must admit not knowing at all.
If there is more than one source giving conflicting reports, who is to be believed, and why?
as you see, I am in CT. every radio station, every news station, and every local website reported very consistent stories stating Ryan Lanza (this was later deemed incorrect, mis-identification, but not until after Ryan posted multiple times on facebook stating it wasnt him and that he was alive and at work in NYC) used two handguns for the shooting, and a .223 rifle was found in the car. this info came from roughly 12 different sources, mostly first responders and the others being actual witnesses within the school as it happened, all saying the EXACT same thing, over and over and over to all media and other LEO's. later in the day the identity was corrected to be Adam Lanza.
more than 24 hours later a press release stated "adam lanza had two handguns on him, one of which he used to take his own life, but all of his murders were committed with a Bushmaster AR15 'assault rifle'".
immediately after the press release, all media records of the original reports were removed/deleted, and new reports were written up and publicized, repeatedly stressing "Bushmaster AR15 assault rifle" over and over and over.
the town of Newtown STILL has not released a single document to ANYone stating the actual facts of the event.
so technically there is zero "proof" of anything.
but common sense should tell you to read between the lines here.
and to add to this: think about this for another minute. the coroner (AFTER the press release) "stated" all of the victims were shot 5-11 times with a rifle. and word is that he was using 30-round mags (hence the push to ban 30-round mags). do the math. this kid was tiny as hell, couldn't have weighed more than 90lbs. an average of 8 bullets per victim, times 26 victims at the school, equals 208 rounds. if he was using 30-round mags, that's in the very least 7 magazines. this means he was carrying a minimum of: 2 fullsized handguns, 208 5.56 rounds, 7 30-round AR mags, and an AR rifle. and it's also reported he literally shot his way into the school, and fired multiple shots in the hallway the moment he entered. I think it's safe to say he had at least 250 5.56 rounds and 8-10 or more mags. do you have any idea how much weight that all totals out to???? and you really expect me to believe a teeny tiny 90lb kid was carrying all this AND climbed into the school through a window he shot out???
and now add to that the additional weight of any clothing and/or holsters he was wearing to enable him to actually carry all this on his person. heck I don't even think his body has enough surface area to accept this much stuff to be carried on him.
on another note: the Webster NY shooting; it happened at like 5am, in a neighborhood where the houses were so close together that 7 additional houses caught fire from the original house that the shooter set on fire. guess how many calls there were to 911: one, by the shooter. guess how many witnesses there were of the shooting: zero. well, there are zero reports of what happened by witnesses, and by witnesses I mean anyone who lived in that neighborhood. so tell me, where was everyone at 5am? how is this even possible? I know Webster pretty well, I grew up in Rochester. I can almost guarantee at least a few people in every neighborhood of Webster legally own guns; handguns and rifles, including the neighborhood this supposedly occurred in. and there are a LOT of deer hunters in Webster, meaning they have rifles with scopes, and are experienced in killing a moving target from a distance. and you mean to tell me that noone reacted to a shooter in the neighborhood by breaking out their own legally owned guns and attempting to take out the shooter?
and as I mentioned somewhere else about the Webster shooting, original reports from first responders stated the shooter was using a shotgun and ONE rifle. more than 24 hours later it was released stating he was using TWO Bushmaster AR15 assault rifles.
isn't anyone noticing a trend here?
on a third note: the dark knight theater shooting; multiple witnesses within the theater state they saw the guy [who was supposedly the shooter] leave the theater (NOT the building, just that individual theater) to make a phone call, and literally SECONDS later the shooter entered the theater in all black (completely different outfit than he was originally wearing), kevlar vest, helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, the whole nine, and an AR and multiple mags. so tell me, how does a person in a large movie theater go from plain drab to full swat outfit in a matter of seconds. not only that, but how did he get it all into the theater without anyone noticing? how did he change so fast? make note that the outfit he was wearing left zero parts of his body actually visible to anyone. and the AR he used was also supposedly a Bushmaster.
also note that in this theater shooting, they removed the shooter from the premises while still wearing the helmet/goggles/mask, so noone (citizens) can actually confirm that the kid blamed for the shooting actually was in fact the shooter. who does that? I know most LEO's would rip his mask off the second they got their hands on him, for all to see who he was, to make for definite evidence of who the shooter truly was.
anyone noticing a trend now???
now lets add some more to the mix: has anyone seen any names of first responders? no, they all claim they want to remain anonymous. the only names you'll find are victims. this holds true for every massacre referred to above. and they all claim they want to remain anoymous "because they don't have the authority to state events that occurred". now I would think, the only way for any of these stories to be believable would be for at least some of the first reponders to state their name for the record, and state what they personally witnessed first-hand. if you see where I'm going with this; local PD's are the first responders. have any of the local LEO's actually been recorded as being a witness to any of these events? according to the "record" no. so who actually responded?
