"There's no question that the AR-15 was used, the Bushmaster shot those children with multiple rounds and was instrumental in the massacre," Blumenthal told Hearst Newspapers on Thursday after a Capitol Hill news conference. "Those children and educators might well be alive today if not for the assault weapon and high-capacity magazines."

Compared to what? Lanza with two handguns and plenty of ten-round magazines? At the range Lanza was shooting at, accuracy was irrelvant. And all he would have to do is shoot the teacher in each room first and then face no resistance in a classroom from the small children, so changing magazines would not present an opportunity to jump him.

Nothing like tactical idiots with an agenda.

I recall reports that Lanza did not fire full magazines, but changed then well before they were empty, meaning high cap magazines were not a factor at all.

I’ve seen multiple internet videos of that old guy sharpshooter who can shoot a revolver (single action or not) just as fast as somebody can crank out with a semi-auto, rifle or not.

It isn’t about ‘assault’ anything. It is about control. It is about banning what they can initially along with magazines they don’t like, but the end result is banning guns, period...it will start with universal checks, national registry, and then confiscation.

Come and take them, then.
