He had a bunch of guns, but chose the rifle to take into the school.
Quote:At about 9:35 am, using his mother's Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle,[19][20][21] Lanza shot his way through a locked glass door at the front of the school.[22][23]
Quote:Police said that Lanza used the rifle to kill the victims at the school.[85] At a press conference on December 15, Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, the Chief Medical Examiner of Connecticut, was asked about the wounds, and replied "All the ones that I know of at this point were caused by the long weapon."[4][86][87] Under Connecticut law,[88] the 20-year-old Lanza was old enough to carry a long gun, such as a rifle or shotgun,[89] but too young to own or carry handguns.

Speaking of "firearms"
gossip Gossip GOSSIP!
Speaking of "firearms" we have (currently) a wonderful little stoush here in Oz (yeah that magical place that is out to kill you) regarding Hunting in our National Parks.
On one side is the Hunters..... responsible, no-nonsense conservationists. (we have a very LARGE FERAL animal population and growing)
On the other side we have "The Greenie / Environmentalist" movement... who coincidentally currently display a deploring lack of scientific literacy and would prefer our native peoples - The First Australians ( I personally like that terminology) to be naked and "communing in harmony with the land" - *barf)
Thank you America for giving the "Greenies" cause to fear guns. I could direct you to a FB page that is striving to bring some articulate, reasoned and sensible arguments that support the use of "amateur hunters" to address our declining native animal population complete with the arguments from the opposing side.
What is it with people?

Plenty of people disagree with me on many things here. If you want an example, I don't agree with Tiberius' Libertarian principles. He doesn't like socialism. Yet we manage to be civil...even, I daresay, friends. You mistake 'disagreement' and 'insult' with 'calling out unmitigated shit'.
I won't apologize to you, because you were acting like a twat. If you feel you need an apology to continue, I suggest you work on your feelings getting hurt a bit less - more people than I will demand you bring sauce for the meat you keep slapping around haphazardly.
You make claims that, quite honestly, sound like Fox News regurgitations, none of which are cited
I don't understand your position, because the only thing you've said in defense of your claims is "Because Constitution".
You didn't cause me emotional harm. Why on earth would you think you could affect me that much? I don't count you as a friend or confidante. Please learn how to feel about discussing things on the internetz.
Man has the ability to be a civil creature, yet people such as yourself seem to lack or neglect that gift of the species.
Alongside that, I believe that I placed some evidence in my first post to back my opinions.

Sir, I'd be happy to inform you that a have an Intelligence Quotient of 136, and therefore I couldn't be an idiot or "not too bright" as you describe.

I'm not familiar with that idiom. Could you inform me upon its meaning?

Well done, you can recognise certain shapes.
Personally I've never found an IQ test any good at measuring intelligence.
My dad has a better IQ than me, but, and no offence to him, he's about as deep as a puddle in the department of intelligence.
