NBC Admitted: No ‘Assault Rifle’ Used in Newtown Shooting
Independent Journal Review ^ | 15 January 2013 5:10pm | Kyle Becker

When the president surrounds himself with children while giving his announcement that reasonable gun control measures are necessary, bear in mind that those ‘assault rifles‘ the government is sure to be going after were not even used in the Newton, Connecticut elementary shooting. As NBC admits in the video above, four handguns were used to carry out that despicable atrocity. This directly contradicts other reports.

The correspondent makes it clear over and over again that he confirmed this information with federal and state officials.

That's not true. His source was federal officials not state.

Lt Vance speaking for the state at the ME press conference set the record straight -- the 26 were all killed with the long weapon -- the rifle.

the MSM has deliberately suppressed this information for political purposes.


You just described their standard M O, they don't do anything else.

The people on MSM, including Sean Hannity, are still attacking or defending Bushmasters because of the one used to kill all those kids. But then Hannity is pretty dense. He defends the 2amd by pointing out all the sensible proper restrictions are already on it. Well the restricters are just looking for a little teensy weensy bit more of same now and a tiny tad more tomorrow. Actually the 2nd admits of NO restrictions. It says nothing about convicted felons or bi-polars. It says ".. shall not be infringed." As soon as you say, well, some (restrictions) infringement are necessary, well, you negate the amendment. That is how important the Founders thought RKBA was. It permits NO restrictions at all. It doesn't say "Congress shall make no law..." like the 1

They haven’t released the report yet, so I don’t have an exact number, but the police have said that he fired “hundreds” of rounds.

Its Paul Vance (CT State Police) describing the weapons used (AR-15) and that the gun in the trunk of the car was a SHOTGUN.

Just an observation, but the video link you provided appears to have been during the day time, yet the recovery video of the shot gun was done at night time.

How can the shot gun been recovered in the dark when Vance just said the gun had already been recovered?
