Adam Lanza stayed at home mostly, a witness said, playing video games such as "Call of Duty." But on December 14, 2012, he went out -- armed with 10 30-round magazines for his semiautomatic Bushmaster .223 caliber model XM15 rifle and bullets for his two handguns and a shotgun.

One shot every two seconds is most definitely NOT automatic.....nor is it assault.

He was firing probably less fast than he fired playing video games

Just can’t bring myself to click on a link to CNN. Good effort, though.

Funny that this comes out on the day that O-hole goes on another gun control rant. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

The whole thing still has elements that don’t pass the smell test.

Protracted timing is one of them.

Either the CT people are the world's slowest investigators....Over three months??

The media has kept whipping this horse long after its demise. They forgot 9/11/01 faster.

There is a lot of toadying up to someone's agenda going on here.

Good grief — three months later and CNN still has some of its facts wrong.

We will never know the actual events at Sandy Hook. CNN is simply the psyops branch of the democrat party.

****firing one bullet roughly every two seconds****

The Winchester Lever action 1866 rifle could fire 28 rounds in 60 seconds. Western action shooters have learned how to a very quick reload with a home made tube cartridge holder.
