I Want Major Gun Control In the Usa

Boys And Their Toys... I just posted a reply to a question which beggars belief. It was posted on EP by an ex-cop who claimed to have secret info on the Newtown massacre. He used the fact that the AR15 assault rifle was not used by the killer as a reason for opposing gun control on assault rifles. So presumably the fact that most kids were killed by a bushmaster rifle or various handguns is completely acceptable to him. God bless America!

I haven't seen the question to which you refer, but I also question what weapon was actually used in the killing. The initial news report from, I believe CBS, stated that they had confirmation from MULTIPLE authorities that Lanza had used a hand gun...specifically a 9mm and a 10mm in the shooting. Then the story changed from using the hand guns to using the Bushmaster. How did multiple authorities get that particular detail so wrong? It doesn't take a gun expert to distinguish between the shell casings of 9mm and 10mm round from those of a .223 or 5.56mm. Rahm Emmanuel liked to use an old phrase, never let a crisis go to waste. I'm not saying Sandy Hook was a hoax, but it does seem plausible that the horrific event, which has been heavily politicized, may have had certain details "modified" to suit the ant-assault weapon agenda. Just sayin'...
