Rifle found in Lanza's trunk not a Bushmaster

[No2sc2]

What shotgun has a thumb hole stock? I think its a AK74!

OR a 223 because it can't be a shotgun by the way the police was clearing the chamber. He held it like a shotgun but using his other hand to rack the chamber back? Don't you usually use the hand pump to unload it?

In the video, the police guy racks the slide with his left hand then switched hand and had his left hand holding the bottom of rifle (like you holding a shotgun) then used his right hand to rack the slide. Nowhere like the video below me on how to unload the shotgun.

Like this guy unloading the shotgun, its no where like the one in the video when they unloading the chamber.
at :40 into video!

The police reports allegedly say he used an Bushmaster AR15 and they found the shotgun in the car. I have yet to find the actual police report though.

That was my understanding of it too, I didnt read anywhere about an AR-15 in the trunk until this feed, someone was saying it was a Saiga 12 or some such but I still havent watched the video.

They stated it was a "Shotgun" but if you guys watch the video, the way the police cleared the chamber doesn't look like how you would clear it on a shotgun, plus a long ass brass came flying out.

Regardless of what kind of gun was used, it really doesn't matter at this point. It shouldn't matter at all because the guns were stolen from a person the crazy **** murdered.

The powers that be have bent this tragedy to be exactly what they wanted.

Its a SEMI AUTO tube fed shotgun hence racking the bolt to empty it.

Wait. Why are we guessing what the shotgun is? How come all the other guns are identified but the one in the trunk? Why hadn't they release the make and model of the "shotgun" in the trunk?

Looked like a Benelli M2 or a Stoger knock off. Or something similar.

They could find out that he used a Black & Decker drill at this point... the facts are basically irrelevant now.

No one believes that the proposed legislation has anything to do with actually preventing crimes like these. At this point it's the political realities that will decide what does and doesn't get passed into law.

If you haven't gone there yet, Congress.org is a great way to contact your state and federal reps. Here in GA, we have pretty solid Senators on 2A matters, but the reps and the state legislators need to get constant reminders from us.

Give that site a try, it's easy to use and is run by Congress, so your email address won't be getting sold in a list (they'll just send the black helos).

I contacted them today

it doesn't fit their agenda and that is to disarm you of guns that make the 2nd Amendment effective
