It wasn’t a rifle, it was a shotgun. Some media sources misidentified it as a rifle on the first day, but if you watch the video, it is clearly a shotgun.
“Adam Lanza brought three weapons inside Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14 and left a fourth in his car, police said. Those weapons were a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns — a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9 mm.
In the car he left a shotgun, about which police have offered no details. Lanza used one of the handguns to take his own life, although police haven’t said whether the gun was the Glock or the Sig Sauer.”

As a woman, I don’t know one ‘long gun’ from another and you know we had many different versions of how many guns were used and how many were found inside the school, plus the Medical Examiner’s report that they were shot with a ‘long gun’.
SO, we are NOT idiots for asking questions, and I resent some OTHER pompous people, here, who keep referring to us as ‘idiots’ for wondering.
I am hearing impaired and the computer is my lifeline. I spend hours a day watching and reading and am probably more well informed than many here. I’ve watched MANY videos, but not being able to understand speech well makes me depend upon the written word - and ‘asking questions’.
Thank you for a reasoned reply.
