A crazed gunman dressed in black went on a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school this morning, in a massacre that left the shooter and 26 dead others - including 18 children.

Adam Lanza, 20, shot his mother dead and targeted her kindergarten class at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., sources sais. Sources also told The Post that Lanza's mother was a teacher at the school and he "had a dispute with her."

Lanza is dead inside the school.

Lanza used two handguns and a .223-caliber assault rifle, an official said. The official also said that New Jersey state police are searching a location in connection with the shootings.

Police in Hoboken, NJ are questioning Lanza's older brother Ryan, 24, but he is not a suspect.

My SKS has a clip.

Technically, it has both a magazine and a clip.

“How did he get in the door with all that firepower?”

It’s cold in Connecticut. I’m sure a long, heavy coat would not arouse suspicion. If it’s an M-4 clone it’s got a short barrel and a collapsible buttstock. Very easy to hide under a coat. Bank robbers and stickup men do it all the time.

I agree with you one hundred percent. When we stop being precise in our language, it opens up the very real possibility of being misunderstood. I also think it is a tactic used to foster disinformation in order to mislead.

The fact is that AR platform firearms are used every day by hunters and target shooters for everything from paper to deer sized animals. To ignore facts to further ignorance is one of the problems we face in dealing with the liberals.

Thank you for being part of the small fraternity desiring precision in our language.

We know the mother works at the school now, but what about the father.

The Pres is speaking now, and we should parse his words very carefully.

Questions:

Who was the guy in the woods? (or was there a guy in the woods?)

Dad appears to be alive — anyone know what he did for a living

What medication do autistic people take as adults?

I suspect this young man has a severe mental illness.

All killers are not necessarily mentally ill.

Many are evil...pure and simple.

For example, many attribute other motives to terrorists besides evil. Ex: poverty, disenfranchisement, or in many people's mind like yours mental illness.

But much murder simply comes from evil desires.

I thought I read this guy was “developmentally disabled” or some such? If so, apparently he had presence of mind to think this out, obtain weapons, and body armor?

.223 AKA NATO 5.56.

Similar but not identical.

The .223 Remington and US 5.56mm ammunition are so similar that the cartridge cases would appear to be interchangeable. The specifications for the cases and the loaded ammunition are subtly, yet distinctly different, however. Although subtle, they may be enough to cause a severe problem, injury or death. This matter should never be taken frivolously nor should it be disregarded. If your weapon is chambered for 5.56mm, then you are likely good to go with either cartridge, however, if your weapon is chambered for .223, then you may indeed run risks if you fire the 5.56mm round, so don't do it.

Mass shooter Luke Woodham explained...

“I am not insane, I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society, push us and we will push back. ... All throughout my life, I was ridiculed, always beaten, always hated. Can you, society, truly blame me for what I do? Yes, you will. ... It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony saying that if you can’t pry your eyes open, if I can’t do it through pacifism, if I can’t show you through the displaying of intelligence, then I will do it with a bullet. “

"Reportedly a Bushmaster M4gery in the trunk of a car. Glock and SIG 9mm pistols on his person."

Guessing the Bushmaster was his dad's -- in New Jersey it couldn't even be classified as an "assault weapon" lacking several "evil features", like a bayonet lug. It might look scary but as compliant with New Jersey law, unless his dad was a LEO it was just a .223 rifle. I'm pretty sure New York and Connecticut have banned "assault weapons" too.

It sounds like typical liberal logic to start a movement to ban weapons that weren't even used here.

Excellent point. There is nothing about the man that isn’t fraudulent. But the ignorant bought his act as if it were real.

"I’ve come across folks who grew up in the 1940s and 1950s....where it took a simple petition from five people...going to a county judge, to invoke an examination, and immediate removal to a state institution. The minute you had a small group agreed on an individual being a threat to themselves or to anyone...a judge would react. This all disappeared in the 1970s as everyone felt that state mental institutes were the wrong place to send mentally ill people."

You also had a quarter million law abiding citzens forcibly sterilized during the same timeframe. The "feeble minded" desgnation was all it took. It was a product of the same globalist "eugenics" movement that funded the construction of a little place named Auswitch almost TWO DECADES BEFORE WWII.

Your reaction has been carefully planned by the global elite.

Read this book for more well referenced and documented information on this topic.

Just saw a replay of Obama’s statement. That jackhole can’t even fake cry right.

He kept rubbing the outside corner of his eyes.

Tear ducts are located in the INSIDE corners.

Taking my disgust with him to a whole new level.

How can Barry appear so upset over this? He has spent
his entire political life defending the killing of children.
