After all the screaming and shouting about "assault rifles!, those damn assault rifles!", we get the confirmation that:

1) There was no assault rifle used in the Newtown, CONN, shooting.

There was NO rifle used, of any kind, in this shooting.

The gunman used four pistols. (Not the reported two pistols).

2) There was a rifle left in the trunk of the car the killer drove. From somewhat hazy video (low light), the rifle is a semi-automatic, but doesn't appear to be an "assault rifle" (AR-15), as previously reported.

This was reported confirmed by Pete Williams at NBC, among others.

But we need to ban assault rifles anyway. All that black, dangerous plastic on the stock and grips - makes the rifle just force you to start shooting people, doesn't it?

OK, thanks for setting the record straight, then we'll just ban hand guns.

He was firing 47 rounds per minute. He pumped between three and 13 rounds into each 1st grader. Only a wacko extremist would not call that an assault weapon.

How many rounds do you need to hunt deer? His guns only have one purpose. To hunt and kill humans.

You are even assaulting the sanity of moderates.
