The only possible explanation is that the facts are being spun for maximum political gain. The image of little kids being executed with a powerful "assault weapon" is far more useful to the regime than if they were executed with garden-variety handguns. If I sound cynical, I am.
Was the Bushmaster registered to the dead mother?
She was dead. Did she have a gun safe and trigger locks? Do we absolutely know the source for the guns? The ammo?
The truth?
H3ll, he might even have been offed by police for all we absolutely know.
Had that principal or nurse been armed, this all would have been completely different.
I agree, and stated it in a thread soon after the incident.
The narrative was changed to fit the agenda...painting a massacre with an “assault weapon”. Too many inconsistent stories coming out, and I don’t put much credence in the ME’s conclusion. He was told what to say, it’s quite clear to me.
Some of the folks here are making a pretty good case for the AR-15 having been used in the classroom. The medical examiner says it was.
I do agree with your take on the situation, but early information is sometimes flakey. I don’t know what else to say.
I’m rather cynical too, but there are times when things just naturally get reported wrong because everyone is in a feeding frenzy, and some guy who thinks he has the right information actually doesn’t.
