Adam Lanza's mother

No assault weapons were used, a semi automatic rifle is not an assault weapon. Assault weapons are capable of full automatic fire. She had nothing like that in her massive stockpile of horded weapons, all three of them.

The proof of her using a gun vault is the existence of a gun vault and her enthusiasm for the respected and responsible handling of guns. What possible evidence do you have that she just had guns and ammo just laying about?
definiton of Assult weapons
Assault weapon is a term which has been given many different meanings. One is that it is any of various automatic and semiautomatic military firearms using an intermediate cartridge.[SUP][1][/SUP] In the United States, there are a variety of statutory definitions of assault weapons in local, state, and federal laws that define them by a set of characteristics they possess, sometimes described as military-style features useful in combat.[SUP][2][/SUP] Using lists of physical features or specific firearms in defining assault weapons in the U.S. was first codified by the language of the now-expired 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.[SUP][3][/SUP] A common usage is to interchange the term with assault rifle, but unlike that term, "assault weapon" has no consistent or specific definition and so is subject to varying definitions for varying purposes, including definitions that include common non-military-style firearms

so the AR15 he used is a assult weapon.

i am not saying she did have the stuff laying around but you cant prove she had them locked either.

Do you have more than 3 pairs of socks, More than 3 rolls of toilet paper? Do you have more than 3 pairs of shoes? How about more than 3 vehicles?

Why are you stockpiling and hording all of those things? OMG do you think the world is going to end soon and they will be worth something? LOL you ever leave home without your foil hat? Any psychiatrist will tell you that 3 or more of anything is a sure sign of mental illness that requires hospitalization or imprisonment. Looks like we hit the jackpot with you, hopefully you don't put up too much of a struggle when the nice men in white coats arrive. I wouldn't worry though, I hear propofol has some nice side effects.


I realize in your world being delusional and acquiring weapons based on those delusional thoughts is normal behavior, but in the real world it is not and those types of people should not have guns, as we see at the expense of 20 kids. Her fucked up thinking was passed and taught to her kid who also had access to the guns.

Where did you dig up this "definition"? Every soldier worth his salt knows that an assault weapon is a carbine with a select-fire provision. No selective fire ... not an assault weapon. cn

No matter how careless? Are you assuming that Ms Lanza loaded the weapons and a bunch of extra magazines and placed them under the pillow of her son's bed with a note attached saying that it was show and tell day at the local kindergarten?

She had a gun vault, her sister attests to seeing it, we have multiple witnesses attesting to the fact that she was an extremely responsible gun owner, plus witnesses who explained that the son was meticulous about safety and care of the guns. Yet your knee-jerk reaction is that she MUST have just had them laying around full loaded, doors unlocked with a neon sign at the freeway that said "loaded and locked guns free to whomever wants them, enter by front door."
Don't be a drama queen. I never said any of that. As hard as it may be to wrap your brain around, there could easily have been a scenario where she forgot to lock the guns up, had them out cleaning them and got distracted and forgot about them, etc.

A genuine assault weapon, as opposed to a legal definition, is a hand-held, selective fire weapon, which means it's capable of firing in either an automatic or a semiautomatic mode depending on the position of a selector switch. These kinds of weapons are heavily regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and are further regulated in some states.

Some people collect guns because they are like works of art, not everyone is a "Nut" just because they own more than one.

I love how the possession of 3 guns is "Stockpiling" or an "Arsenal" or makes people a gun "nut". LOL you must be a sock nut.

what are you republican? I give you two currrent definitions of what Everone says a assult weapons are and you still deny he used a assult weapon in the attack. I dont think a hunting rifle like a m1 or a 8mm or 7mm mauser (they were used in the theater of war) that holds limmited amount of rounds, are NOT assault weapons, but any weapon that can be equiped with a large mag, lets say more than 15 rounds, like the 100 round drums you can put on what you say is not a assault weapon, ARE ASSAULT WEAPONs. The AR15 he used is in that catagory

The legal definition is not the real definition. You ever serve time in the military and actually learn how firearms and weapons are classified? An M1a does not qualify to be an assault weapon, but it will fuck you up for certain since it has a high capacity magazine and shoots a 7.62 mm Cartridge (Win .308).

Weapons do not get classified by their looks, but by their function.

The legal definition is not the definition, its just the stupid lawyers who wouldn't know an assault weapon from a ruger 10/22

Wonder if he can wipe out a couple classrooms of toddlers with his sock.

That's as lame an argument as " ban all knives too". Typical hyperbolic bullshit from the right.

I'm not the one who thinks guns are alive. I care deeply for kids. Guns are what help protect them. More guns, not less, would've prevented this. Think. Adam Lanza shot himself once the cops got there with guns like he had. Why do you think he chose a school with little kids? He's a pussy who did this in a wonderfully safe, for him, gun free zone! Problem is, criminals become the only one with a gun when you make it gun free. Who would've thought! Your solution is saying I'm the problem because I don't want to give up mine. The fuck?
So you are saying criminals ONLY target gun free zones?

Peace
