NBC is reporting that Adam Lanza did not take rifles inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. He did not use a rifle, deemed an "assault weapon" by the administration and media to kill and wound. To repeat, no rifles were found inside the school. Lanza reportedly had four handguns with him. How many of those handguns were used in the killings isn't known, or at least is not included in this report. (NBC video linked below)
The correspondent [in the video below] makes it clear over and over again that he confirmed this information with federal and state officials. Now, a lot of media reports contradict this one, but somebodys lying. The report that an AR-15-style assault rifle was in the trunk of murderer Adam Lanzas car is up for dispute as well. If one examines footage from police breaking into Lanzas car, one sees police clearing a round from a long gun of some type that does not appear to be AR-15 style or assault-style.Whether or not the mainstream media are intentionally spreading disinformation about the Sandy Hook elementary tragedy, there is one thing for certain: not only are violent crime rates at a modern low and going down, but only 323 homicides were committed by rifles in 2011. That includes hunting rifles, assault rifles, military style rifles, semi-automatic rifles and whatever label one comes up with, regardless of magazine or clip capacity.
In a nation of 311 million people, the odds of being killed by a rifle is about one homicide per million people, which is far less than the odds of being murdered by a blunt object. (Read more at the link above)
See the video of the "long gun" here.
Thanks for your eloquent commentary.
I updated the post with the link to yesterday’s release. Thanks!
Wrong. So called "assault weapons" are much more effective against 0bama's Civilian National Defense Force goons than handguns. My guess is that you have never been in combat.
Folks, that school was littered with brass. The type would be easy for any cop or shooter to identify (223 vs pistol).
The crime scene photos will tell the story. If we never see them, we know there’s no rifle brass.
Of course if this were a serious conspiracy, it would have been easy to scatter some 223 brass.
Update it by removing the story that is totally untrue and put the press release in its place.
Marked for future use.
There was video overhead for the chase of the man in the woods, the car, and the removing of a long, unused weapon from the trunk. So, there was ongoing video and would set this aright if we had it.
Police were apparently there in minutes but did not run inside. Why? Had I been in that situation, you would have had to tackle me from not running to the sound of the guns. Besides, there are other entrances to a school. Perhaps the police could have thought it a crazed parent or janitor.
Someone called 911 and left the call on/put the phone down. There is audio, so we could know whether handguns or a rifle was used. If police were there, what did they hear or see?
One little boy mentioned shots coming from windows. There would be pictures of the school anyway. We don’t see windows from that time. There were windows down the entire side of the hall. What did others see? With windows, why didn’t the police just shoot through the glass and kill the f*er right then and there or draw his fire?
There was one young child covered in blood. Would have made a great MyLai advert for a gun ban. We have no pictures. IIRC, she saw the person and could identify him.
The intercom was turned on and left on. With police there, dispatch would record it, as well as any people who might have had cell phones. We have no evidence.
Police guarded every family after the fact, for their privacy. We have no stories from them, in large part.
We have no testimony from the teacher shot in the foot, IIRC. Did that woman see him?
What did the janitor see during this?
3 of the 4 people who were reported to have been in a confrontation with Lanza the previous day were killed. One of the teachers killed was a sub. Who was the 4th person?
Why drive to the other side of town? What is the closest school to Mrs. Lanza’s house?
Did the two men who were captured have an accent?
Did the car have a California license plate? Who owns it?
Did the gun store sell the weapons used? What does its log say? Were said logs confiscated in that “raid”?
Does anyone know any school refurbishing project that takes an unused school and makes it ready, reworked for networks, include updated security and filled up with equipment in two to three weeks? There would have been construction crews and jobs. There would be school board meetings and discussion. There would have had to be housing and increased business in the area. Where are the reports?
On Dec 14th, three cities in CT were having a FEMA drill that included school lockdowns. This was part of Project Longevity, also launched in CT. Holder and Malloy are involved.
As for a rifle ban, of course 0bama and cabal would go after longer-ranged weapons 1st. Handguns come later.
As for the ME and the official story, if most people were killed with at least 3 bullets, were they executed with two in the chest and one in the head? What computer records are there? Is there a gun safe?
Where are the records of Lanza at the gun range practicing? If there were a lot of bullets recovered that were unused, where is the bag? Where are the pix of the weapons used?
Yes, I have a lot of questions. People are dead. And of course, we know 0bama and the cabal tell the truth. Holder has been in on Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elian, Fast & Furious, Arab Spring, Hasan, GITMO, Obama’s actual background, Benghazi, and now Mali I think. We know how truthful these people are.
We also know their agenda, as well as that of various international groups. We will not hear anything that contradicts the agenda.
I do not consider my questions and concerns about Sandy Hook unreasonable. The narrative was set within two minutes of reporting and changed to gun bans. The event became the setting rather than its own horror.
There are those there in CT that do know, however.
That's not the only reason we may never see pictures of the crime scene. Who wants to publish photos of an elementary school room covered in children's' blood? Saying the crime scene pictures not being shown is evidence of a lack of rifle brass is how conspiracy theories get started.
I forgot to mention the original thing that started me wondering about all of this. The ambulances were photographed with cars strewn in such a way that evacuation to a hospital would have been impossible for anyone injured. I can see parents practically leaving their cars running and leaping out before a car stopped, but I didn’t understand the blocking of the ambulances. I wouldn’t want to do that.
I would have had to have been shot myself as a parent. I would have broken windows to get children out and myself in. H3ll, I’d have rammed my car through the door to get in.

Not true. Reason? Beslan photos do exist. Footage from there exists.
Oh, here’s something else to chew on. Why did the police not fire tear gas? OK. People might have gotten sick, asthma, etc. But you could have fired canisters into the second classroom. Or the halls.
Which leads me to wondering why the police didn’t attempt a breach. These men would have known people and/or been relatives. Why stand back? Fat lot of good it did to walk around on the roof. Why be there if the shooting was all inside? For safety’s sake? Sweep and clear?
That was Russia, where there is a different attitude about grossing people out. I’m just saying if one concludes from a lack of photos that there is some chicanery going on, then one is fueling a conspiracy theory most sensible people will shrug off as kooky.
Hiding evidence is not the only reason you may never see photos of this crime scene.
I think photos of broken windows or footage would fuel the agenda. The little girl running down the road, burned and naked, had a big impact on perceptions of the Viet Nam war. Such photos/evidence are powerful instruments.
Benghazi had photos. And audio of calls we do not hear. And video we have no need to see.
This is a huge story. You’d think reporters would want to be the first to stand on school grounds. They’ve been standing on these children’s and women’s bodies for weeks.
See the blood and gore? I don’t want to, but people cleaned it up, poor souls.
Posts like this make us all look like idiots.
There is another video going around that claims to prove that the whole thing was hoax. I don’t see how with so many people involved. No way could that many people keep a conspiracy secret. Someone would come forward eventually and probably pretty quickly. Still, the reporting has very obviously been deceptive; as usual.
Who? Wouldn't that be a story? Talking to the people who had to shed tears and wipe blood. Frontpage stuff; drama, and that would help push the get rid of guns meme.
Dittos!
The story was about an NBC report on no rifles. The video of Pete Williams on The Today show actually aired according to NBC. As to the information in the video, I’ve seen no retraction from them - at least I couldn’t find one. It may well be incorrect information, but the video was aired on NBC and introduced by Matt Lauer. I’m not saying it’s true. I’m saying NBC reported it coming from “Federal and State” officials.
