I’m listening to the Adams County Sheriff feed right now.
The liberal press would call a water pistol an automatic weapon because you can get multiple shots out of it.
I could not clearly see if it had a bottom loading mag. It had a pistol grip though. And the barrel was quite long, which identifies not only with a regular hunting shotgun, but also a Saiga.
4th look. It was being held using the pistol grip, but it did NOT have a magazine loader. It most likely is a hunting shotgun with a pistol grip.
“The story changed from the fact that the rifle was locked in the murderers car to the lie that ALL the shots were fired with the rifle.”
You’ve got it exactly backwards. There was no rifle locked in the trunk, that was a lie, or rather I would call it an erroneous report. You can watch the video yourself and see that it is not a rifle.
Do they also make ARs that fire shotgun shells?
It can’t, but this kid supposedly argued with 4 people at the school the day before. About what? of course that info disappeared down the hole with everything else.
LOL
“Why are you posting an old report that we know to be inaccurate?”
Thanks for raising the issue.
Perpetuating misinformation is dangerous to the credibility of conservative forums such as this one.
Again and again and again and again (had enough?), I’ve seen this malarkey posted here, to wit: “the rifle was in the trunk of the car!”, “he didn’t shoot them with a rifle”, etc.
Gosh, folks, if one’s going to attempt to be conservative, shouldn’t one embrace one of the core tenets of conservatism first? That is to say, understand what reality is and get your facts and information straight.
There was a great deal of misinformation put forth (mostly as speculation) at the outset of the shooting. Most of that was cleared within the next day, by which time the “fog of rumors” had cleared and empirical facts had emerged.
As a great lady once remarked (paraphrasing), one may be entitled to one’s own opinion, but one is not entitled to one’s own set of facts...

A shotgun is not a rifle. You’d be better off saying “there was a weapon found in the trunk”.
“One reporter asked the ME how the wounds could be rifle rounds if the rifle was found in the trunk. The ME just stood and stuttered at the question until the subject was changed.”
No, the question was asked and two separate law enforcement officials immediately answered that that story was incorrect.
First of all, there was no “bullet-proof vest”, and second of all, the Bushmaster wasn’t in the car. Go watch the video yourself, it’s not even a rifle.
HAHAHA, checkmate. They do, however, make it possible for single/double bbl shotguns to shoot rimfire and centerfire rounds. I know. Why!?
>> “And if true...why oh why would the ME in the case report all deaths were caused by .223 ammo?” <<
.
We do not know that the ME reported any such thing. We were given second hand info to that effect, but I never heard any ME say anything.
He does say it was “the rifle”, when asked for clarification if it was the “long gun”. When asked about the caliber, he declined to answer, because that is a question for the police department, since that is who does the ballistics examination, not the medical examiner. They were clear in the press conference that a rifle caused the wounds, and that the rifle was not found in the trunk. Since there was only one rifle found at the scene, it’s pretty cut and dry that it was the one they are talking about.
They have ones that look like an AR. The AR is a popular platform that has been copied a bunch.
Akdal MKA 1919 semi-auto shotgun. No T-shaped charging handle. Side mounted charger. Can’t tell the difference because the mags are the same dimensions as a regular 5.56.
Nice first post.
Welcome to Free Republic.
From an illegal alien criminal serial rapist to make it a two-fer.
Why did they make a car that could drive into a lake? Probably just because they could.
Sure, but my point is, in the video of them recovering the weapon from the trunk, they are ejecting rounds, and what pops out is clearly a shotgun shell. So, the weapon must be a shotgun, and not any type of rifle.
I think it’s a tactical-style shotgun that could look superficially similar to an assault rifle to an untrained observer, so that may be where the confusion arose on the part of the media.
