The shooter in Connecticut didn't shoot an assault rifle. It was in his trunk. He only shot handguns.

I believe that it's been clearly stated that the Connecticut shooter used the Bushmaster during his killing spree.

There are media reports now that it was in his trunk and that the other media reports didn't confirm their information before they "ran with it".

.

Personally I don't believe the media on most items they report. They aren't interested in facts anymore but sensationalizing the headline.

I think it's time we had a serious conversation about Media Control Laws in this country. Let's see him w the libs respond to that one!!

So all these people buying assault rifles, are they planning on needing to shoot 100 people in a minute? And are they going to carry it into schools and malls and everywhere they go "in case" someone else starts shooting?

'media control laws' sounds pretty fascist to me, john. good thing we live in a nominally free country. but i most certainly would be interested in some kind of rules, on civil penalty for false or shoddy reporting in the sole interest of sensationalism. it is indeed to the point where you cant really tell what is 'true' or not in the news because of biased agendas. (looking right at you, faux news)

I wish the media would have hit the silent button on this shooting for 10 days. Would have been nice for the families to not have to re-live their tragedy everytime they saw a magazine, paper or the TV. But OOOHHH NO. They had to jump on the anti-gun wagon and come up with a motive, reason and solution within 4 days or the world was coming to an end.

Sure wish I sold Little Tykes Body Armor right now. Good grief.

This is why investigator's shouldn't answer questions on a on going investigation it opens the door to non factual speculation, The first report was that it (The Assualt Rifle) was in the trunck but was recinded that it was a shotgun instead. It was later reported correctly. which is why some hear are parroting what they first heard.

@Tony I would agree about the silent thing for the families.

@John That was tried in Germany it didn't work out to well for them did it. Read the book Propagana techniques of german fascism.

@Bob I agree it's more about Tabloids but then again that's where Rupert Murdoch has made his fortune and he is now expanding it into Fox News Media. That's why they never really say that "It is been reported" they replace that with " Some people say" Just so they can lead you into a irrelevant direction.

I've heard for months now from the tea party that the Democrats are going to take your guns! It wont be long until they start saying this was rigged be the Democrats to push their agenda. So everytime I hear someone say things like this I say to them as I get my cell phone and go to my internet app What? is the SB# or HB# of the bill they were talking about and they know you are going to do some fact checking then they start talking about some super secret treaty with the U.N. and they are now trying to slip it through the backdoor. Now doesn't that sound like something you would read in a Tabloid!

people,guns will never be outlawed in this country.give it a freaking break.assualt weapons on the other hand have no reason to be in a civilians hand.nor a 30 round clip.they are not for hunting and in you need 30 rounds to kill a deer......find another hobby.......

If Americans didn't have guns during the Pearl Harbor attack, the main land would have been next but the Japanese were too scared to hit the mainland because Americans had the right to bear arms. If we didn't, who knows, we may be talking japanese now.
