This is the actual firearm used in the Newtown shooting. Thoughts? Not exactly a "scary" gun is it.

It would be if it was pointed in your direction and firing.

Any firearm would be scary if its pointed in your direction. The form of the firearm is irrelevant.

Society focusing on the gun instead of the person who uses it. Just was the anti's want.

No gun in of itself is scary.

 

[blackjack50]

Exactly. As you can see nothing fancy here. The only inherently evil thing about this gun...was the person behind the trigger.

Nope, not scary. Not even a particularly nice AR. Its not a flat top, its got no optic and what the heck kind of cheap sling is that?

Also, IIRC the AR was left in the trunk and he only came in and used pistols.

If I remember correctly, he only used one or two pistols. . .

If you watched the video, the police later claimed to have removed four according to NBC.

I see they had to cut it off of him.
Scary? Nope, look at a couple every day in my safe.

I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment, but I am confused about the purpose of the post.

If you are trying to say such weapons are being banned because they "look scary," I'd agree that is a silly foundation upon which to base a gun ban.

If you are trying to comment about the fear it might engender during the time and place it was used, i.e. a grade school against kids 6 to 11 years old? They might find it fairly frightening.

I'd like to have it to be honest. Need a good gun.

Actually it appears to be a flat top with a detachable carry handle.

You can tell that from that blurry photo? Then your gundar is stronger than mine.

It doesn't look like a flat top, just a cheap, stock AR...

Was this Miss July in some gun magazine and is now hanging over somebodys bed?

There were a lot of stupid rumors. All he used was that rifle. He killed himself with the pistol after firing a few outgoing rounds at first responder police (misses...but judged to be shots after looking at the windows and angles).

No. I took this picture at a seminar on school safety. The man who had this picture is Lt. Paul Vance of the Connecticut state police. A lot of Sheriffs were at this meeting. Also I will be hearing from the man who made entry into Sandy Hook, and also I have heard from the FBI incident commander who was in charge of the hostage situation in Dale county Alabama (Bunker Hostage situation).

The purpose of this post is to highlight that it wasn't a "military grade" rifle with bayonets and tacticool accessories and a beta mag. It was a POS AR. What made it dangerous was the evil scum behind the trigger.

Source? Because that is the very claim that NBC retracted/corrected.

That handle scares me.

That handle scares me.

Is it up for bid yet?

Lt. Paul Vance. Media response officer for the Incident.



NBC made a bunch of baseless stupid claims. Another rumor was that there was an assault weapon in the trunk. It was a shotgun. Google it.

I knew about the shotgun in the trunk. Can I get a source for that image? Not that which weapon used matters at all to me, but you're in fact right I'd like to know.

I'll take a Kabar bayonet over a handle, or even brass knuckles any day.
