Did Obama tell a Democratic audience that a “fully automatic weapon” was used at Newtown?

He’s not stupid in the sense that he doesn’t understand what he is saying or doing. However, he is stupid in believing he won’t be challenged, and at some point stopped.

Either (a) Obama is referring to a different shooting, which I doubt, (b) I missed a major update to the Newtown story, (c) he knows something we don't, or (d) he has roughly the same mastery of gun fundamentals as magazine expert Diana DeGette.

The correct answer is: (e) He knows he can blatantly lie about anything. As far as the lamestream media and the low information sheeple are concerned anything spewed from the mouth of Our Glorious Leader is the truth.

I hope you are right, but it seems to me everyone that challenges him is sent cowering back to their cave.

There are a lot of cracks opening up among those who supported him in the past. I am hearing a lot of criticism of Obozo from liberals.

Early on I recall a deputy sheriff talking about “bump” fire, he also mentioned a “slide fire” stock. These are similar methods of firing a semiautomatic weapon that allows the weapon to recoil backward from the trigger finger and be returned forward by the “off” hand, triggering the weapon again in a cyclic manner. The cyclic rate can be modified from a single shot to a two or three round burst, all the way to nearly full auto cyclic rates (10 RPS) which would empty a magazine in a few seconds. The technique described is not the same as fully automatic and is acceptable to the BATFE since the trigger is activated by the shooters trigger finger in a singular manner for each shot fired.

This may have been the source of speculation about Lanza going "fully auto". I hesitate to bring up "slide" and "bump" firing as this could easily reignite the totally clueless presstatutes and anti-gun crowd in general to a new round of nail biting hysteria and further demands that Congress "DO SOMETHING" about these killing machines.
