Why would the Bushmaster be mentioned with the "high capacity 30 round clips" and nothing about the pistols or shotgun magazines????

Something fishy here......

***Dragoon44*** · 01-19-2013, 14:48

But what weapons did the shooter on the grassy knoll have?

So they can demonize those evil "high capacity clips."

Did you go to the website, or are you just talking to hear yourself.

GunHo198 · 01-19-2013, 14:59

Strange... I don't consider 30 rounds High capacity... Am I Nutz?

No, they did not. When I talked with Neil Armstrong in December of 1969, he described the location to me in detail. He also told me...well, that you wouldn't believe either.

What is the story behind the Saiga 12 shotgun left in the trunk? I guess we won't know until the made for TV movie is released.

"Signed, PW" indeed.

Using "slang" descriptions in an official police statement does not bode well for the department or their professionalism.

Patchman · 01-19-2013, 15:22

I believe the initial news report reported they removed a AR rifle from the car trunk. Now they're claiming it was a Canta-Can'tbe shotgun or something?

Is there a record that either the mother, or the shooter, purchased such a weapon?

I smell conspiracy!!!

One that worked. Q.E.D.

skorper · 01-19-2013, 15:24

"Clips"? Really? Who wrote that?

I am also extremely surprised with the descriptors they used. "High capacity 30 round clips"? Someone is injecting their personal opinion there. NOT a good thing when it will be headed to court. Thirty round magazines are STANDARD for any AR type rifle. MAYBE if there was a 40 rounder the "high capacity" bullcrap might apply, and that's big maybe. It says "clips" in the plural when there is no mention of the number. Not a good idea for a press release.

We should email the state police and complain then.

They removed a Saiga 12 guage AK style shotgun which is manufactored by Izhmash with what appeared to be a 10 round surefire or promag magazine.

The news reporters screwed it up as they did every detail in the first few hours attempting to get the body count on screen first.

We know all you say is true, cause we learnt it on the interweb from experts with no experience.

I remember seeing the moon landing as it happened. Here's something to consider:

The video was in black and white. How conveniently convenient to hide details they didn't want you to see.

Also, I noticed the background was very similar to a particular patch of Libyan desert... Then the following year Libya became inaccessable to the rest of the world until this year (43 years later)...

Nope, not what Neil described to me, not at all.
