Why have we been mislead? He had a AR-15, but left it in the trunk. The shooter had four pistols instead. http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/50208495#50208495

I will say first, the parents of those murdered kids are going through hell on earth this Christmas without their children. I can't imagine their grief. There has been misinformation passed around on the weapons. It was reported initially that the shooter was found with a Glock and a Sig. A shotgun could be seen being taken out of a trunk by a cop in the vids. I tend to think that the misinformation was just ignorant reporting (guessing). Can't see a motive for the locals to fabricate an AR story in their "ban state".

that is deffinately not and AR.. it could however be a POS High Point rifle, which would be classified as an assault rifle, but it fires pistol rounds, not rifle rounds...
i almost certian that there are bullets that were still inside, and in the walls and such,that could be examined.. they should have no problem determining if it was a .223, or a 9mm, or a .45, or pretty much anything larger than the .223..
there should be ZERO debate on what gun was used...
and if there was no "assault rifle" used, then it shouldnt even be attacked...

The first report I heard, and I cannot say who I heard it from, was that the AR was in the trunk, not used, he had a Glock and a Sig with him but nothing was said about a shotgun until much later. ????? If that is the truth, then why all the lies about him using an "assault rifle?"

How about we wait for a final report on the event before we jump to a conclusion? I agree that the difference in what the media is reporting now vs originally is concerning.

No way its one of those. Look at the size of round that comes out when its cleared. Dosent look like a pistol round. To me it looks like an FNAR. FNAR is .308 and has a bull barrel and could be confused as shotgun diameter. At first when they described it I thought it might be a saiga which is a shotgun on an AK platform but I dont see the gas return on top of the rifle. An FNAR gas return is inside the foregrip.

One of my guesses were right. I guess you can kinda see the gas return a little better in that vid. Those Saiga jam alot if loaded with wrong ammo. Check out youtube on those. Pretty nasty critter when rockn' and rolln'.

I wish I had bought a box full of Saiga's when they were $199 each, $250 for .308.

Maybe the media is figuring out how stupid they are by trying to beat the other guy vs. being thorough. They really srewed the pooch this time with all the misinformation that was being thrown around as the news broke. I havent heard about what kind of weapons the jackass that ambushed those firefighters used yet either.

A large quantity of unused ammunition was recovered from the school along with three semi-automatic firearms found with Adam Lanza: a .223-caliber Bushmaster XM-15 rifle,[61] a 10mm Glock 20 SF handgun [5][62] and a 9mm SIG Sauer handgun.[4][63] A shotgun was found in the car Lanza had driven to the school. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting
