Read the entire article at the above link.  Below is an interesting portion of the article.

Quote
Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster.

Sedensky said 154 spent .223 casings were recovered at the scene.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.........He had three 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster, yet there were 154 spent .223 casings.  By my math, that means he had to reload two of his magazines.  Wasn't the hi-cap ban argument that the time it took to reload would provide time for somebody to take the bad guy down?

I'm sure we'll see this correlation in the lamestream media momentarily.

I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

Last I read a week or two ago, it was "admitted" that he did not have the Bushmaster with him in the school.

Like everything else in this aftermath, I have no idea how accurate that statement...or any statement made previously....   is.

Here is a link to the video report.

That seems to get reported every few weeks by one "news" outlet or another, then looking at it deeper its a re-hash of the report from a couple days after the incident that the medical examiner and sheriff refuted about a week later.
When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

You are either SOLVING the problem, or you ARE the problem.

Somewhere along this journey I heard that there were dropped magazines that were not completely emptied.  sorry that i can't find the source again.  Did anyone else hear anything about this?

Who knows what is true.

10 minutes after my post above, I read that the lock time for the warrants from the incident has run out and that they have been released.

The report said a Bushmaster was used to kill the teachers and students.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/28/miller-finally-some-answers-about-sandy-hook-schoo/?1

I wonder if we can trust documents that have been locked away for over 3 months to tell the truth or what someone wants the truth to be?

Just like Benghazi.....More questions than answers. With a complicit and lying Admin.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

All anyone knows is the guy was nuts.  He could have killed more with a bomb or chemical/ bio attack.   all of which are pretty damn easy to do and you can find the info to do it online.

The judge put a 90 gag-order on the search warrants and their results.

That gag-order just expired this week and this is the FIRST TIME, we are able to get the facts.

Most any "reporting" prior to this week was speculative.  There were a lot of things "made up" about this incident.  Ignore all those "reports" that were generated by news hungry media prior to this week.  You can read the warrants and results for yourself.

Big question is why?  A 90 day extension of the time the warrants and the findings of the warrants are sealed.

This is the FIRST TIME we are able to get what is released as facts.

Might just be my affinity to aluminum, but that sure seems like it is allowing plenty of time to see what cell phone videos and any other incidentals might pop up so that they don't look like lying SOBs if the evidence contradicts what they state happened.

Is this type of extension granted routinely all the time?

I am always suspicious when documents are hidden away until the "Official" version is released....although 90 days doesn't come close to the 200 year record for sealing documents.
