There were no .223 wounds or cases that I could see, only .22 .". This fella and I go back 25+ years. We fished and hunted extensively here in and in Canada. Now, is possible that he only got to see one area of the carnage? I suppose so but he would have modified his answer to include .223 had they been present."

I have to guess that sometimes the spent casings are not only photographed but also collected before the bodies are removed.

I suspect that the first question will be answered by the autopsy reports and the second by some crime scene reciepts.

Yes, the police 'release' said 'high capacity blah, blah, blah.'

Vice President Joe (aka/ "Plugs") Biden has said numerous times, "Those children were each riddled with bullets."
With emphasis on RIDDLED. Every time, emphasis on that word.

In my not-so-humble opinion, Joe Biden is "Grandstanding" (Duh! Who didn't know that!?!?!?!?!?) and playing (and preying) upon emotions, not fact(s).

• I want to know EXACTLY how many times each child was struck. (I'm a big boy, now. I can handle that information.)
It will be in the final report. The ME said victims were struck 3-11 times.

• How many rounds did this lunatic actually fire? (Surely, someone 'policed' the brass and took inventory of evidence!)
Of course they did. It will be in the report.

• How many MAGAZINES did this lunatic carry AND use? (See my comment, above about inventory of evidence.)
It will be in the report, don't you think?

• How were these firearms stored/secured in the home? (Simple question. I would like an answer.)
You will get an answer when the investigation has been completed and the report made public.

The report will be issued when it has been completed. Maybe we should let them do their jobs. Then you will know. The ME reported all wounds were caused by a "long gun" and said victims were shot multiple times each.

Is there some reason why you would need to get all your information from this thread rather than searching the internet on your own? 15 seconds of googling "medical examiner report on connecticut school shooting" revealed multiple stories, this just happens to be one of the first to pop ups:

"Connecticut school shooting: Victims shot multiple times, says medical examiner"

I do not believe an official spokesperson has mentioned facts regarding your other two questions.

The last words I heard about when were sometime in March, mid or late.

Thanks.
BTW, my questions weren't (specifically) directed to you or GT, in general.

As for the ME's report, I never heard how many times each child was shot. Thanks.

I heard (on the news, if memory serves me) that the 'lunatic' did reload with partially filled magazines being dropped, and that he 'supposedly' learned that from video games.

Truth??? I have no freakin' idea!

As for that lunatic, personally, I'd like to go to where he's buried, and visit.
What I leave on his gravesite could never be mistaken for flowers.

For me I take away something very specific from this that seems to be burried in this thread under all the symantics.

There was alot of mis reporting on the AR being in the trunk vs being in the school. Now we have docummented proof that the firearm in the trunk was a shotgun not an assault weapon.

The amount of botched reporting these days is alarming.

Interesting however there is not mention of a second shooter.

Relax.
I'm making conversation, and asking questions in general, and trying to be a part of the thread. (Or isn't that allowed??)

And I fully understand how to use Google.

Maybe there wasn't one?

We'll find out later.

My biggest gripe is not that we have to wait for the investigation to be completed to get the facts, that is only logical, but that politicians refuse to wait for the facts before pushing for legislation.

NOBODY is telling the president or the other gun grabbers, hold on...lets wait until we actually have the facts to make rational informed decisions on policy.

It is what it is.

I have sent emails to state and federal government officials asking that any action be postponed until the real facts of the cause of the incident are published.

I say "partially" tongue in cheek, because although I am skeptical of James Files claims, I am also skeptical of the claim that Oswald acted alone.

When the President of the United States is assassinated, what seems more likely... That those who stood to gain something from his death were involved or complicit in the act, or that the stereotypical "lone gunman" is solely responsible?

I realize this view is unpopular here at GT, but I make no apologies.

Actually it is harder to stop a lone gunman, he has no OPSEC, issues if he keeps his plan to himself, but you can't explain that to so-called "experts" who have their mind made up before they start their "investigation'.

They're not experts, they're know-it-alls.

That was a minor error compared to the other stuff such as saying his mother was a teacher and mis-identifying his brother as the shooter. people act like the gun was the only bad reporting and point to the change as some evidence of a conspiracy.

Edit to add: In an article, also posted on December 15th, Tracy Connor and Pete Williams say the following...

Law enforcement officials gave out conflicting details about what type of weapons Lanza had.

At one point, they told NBC News Lanza had four handguns while he stalked the halls of Sandy Hook, but that could not be confirmed. It appears he carried at least two 9mm handguns – and a rifle was also found at the scene.

I love how some posters who accuse the media of blatant inaccuracy also use a blatant inaccuracy as absolute proof of some sort of conspiracy. HH

But 30 round "magazine" vs 30 round "clip" means nothing in the debate.

Many people that support the "Why would anybody need a 30 round magazine!?" ideology, probably find it hard to believe that a 6 cell Lithium laptop battery is not "High capacity" by today's standards, but anyone that's been around since the first laptop's would know how standards have changed. My 500GB hard drive could have been considered "High capacity" a few years ago... now they can fit 700 Terabytes on a single gram of synthesized DNA.

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/1...-a-single-gram

Fact of the matter, is. Criminals will still be getting their hands on firearms capable of using "High capacity" 30 round "clips", "mags", or w/e you want to call them. 25, 30, or more rounds are today's standards.

Thanks for posting this info and the link to the State Police site. That clears it up for me pretty well.

I never believed there was any kind of government shenanigans going on, so called "Crisis Actors" being there, another shooter in the woods, or kids described as being alive after they were listed as dead. I don't buy into any of that garbage.

The one thing that did give me pause was what gun(s) were actually used in the school. I wouldn't have put much stock in it, but when you see a first rate reporter that covers the DOJ for NBC news, Pete Williams come on air and give a report that said several of his Federal and State Police and DOJ contacts CONFIRMED to him that there were actually 4 HANDGUNS recovered inside the school and the BUSHMASTER AR was found in THE CAR.

When I saw that, I admit that I started thinking about why the media was perpetuating false info about those kids being killed with the AR. I thought they were deliberately omitting the new info that Pete Williams had because the AR fit into their agenda of wanting guns BANNED and made it that much easier.

After a couple days I came to believe that if the AR was in the trunk, other news sources would've reported it. I believe there are some media outlets that DO care about the truth and all of them wouldn't sit back and allow such a blatant fact to go un-reported for weeks.

Now we know for SURE what was used. THANKS.

That is unless you believe that the Connecticut State Police are in on the plan to get AR's and other mean looking guns banned.

Good post. While I don't know any of the victims or their familes personally, I have met the priest (the supposed "second gunman") and my sister whose two of three sons attended SHES knows the families of one of the teachers and two of the kids. The owner of the funeral home in Southbury who conducted the funeral for the principal lives in the same condo cluster as my mother and is a bridge partner. This was a very real event that affected people in my own family, hence my abject distaste for anyone claiming this never happened or happened in a way dramatically different than the conventional wisdom offered by far too many cross-referencing sources. Good day. HH

[mikesull415]

Y'all are looking at this all wrong. I say by all means....let them ban all the high capacity "clips" they want. (Anybody see what I did there)

They will ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices just as they did in the 1994 ban, although they may redefine "large capacity" at something less than 10 rounds this time.

SEC. 110103. BAN OF LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES.

(31) The term `large capacity ammunition feeding device'--
`(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device manufactured after the date of enactment of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; but
`(B) does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.'.

[Nalapombu]

WOW!! That's quite a bit of a connection you have there HH. Sorry it's a connection that brings with it such tragedy, loss and pain for everyone associated.
Even though I don't have any kids, I simply cannot fathom what those families have had to go through. A great BIG CHUNK of their lives ended that day along with their precious little babies. They'll never be the same, NEVER.

I wish these NUTBAGS that put these youtube videos up and blog about how this is a False Flag OP by the government to get our guns would just stop and think for a minute about all the hurt and pain they bring to those that are connected to that horrific day. These are the exact same people that believe Bush and Cheney planned and carried out 9/11.

If I thought for a second that OUR government was evil enough to hire someone to go into a classroom full of 1st grade babies that have no concept of true evil and murder every one of them to simply gin up support to take guns from the people, I'd pack my bags and get out. I'd go anywhere rather than live in a country that's leaders were capable of something that hideous. Sure our government has done some pretty terrible things over the years, but nothing that even comes close to murdering little babies that didn't even know to run to try and escape in their school.

HH, please pass on our sympathies and prayers to your family and those that were affected by the events of that day.

Thank you. I don't have as personal connection to what happened as much as one of the posters here as I believe he was on-scene while the kids were still warm. What bothers me the most is the "truthers" (my word choice would be much harsher) who are using these families' tragedies for their pushing their own twisted personal agenda. These guys make what the Westboro Baptist Church does look like childs play it is so vile and repugnant. At least the WBC has the balls to show up graveside...these "It wasn't an AR! / It was faked!" cowards have no such spine. HH
