"More killers choose Bushmaster"

Here's the final score from the info released today concerning Adam Lanza from a great LA Times article: 154 shots of .223 fired from Bushmaster AR-15 at Sandy Hook Elementary from unspecified quantity of magazines. Found on Lanza's person: 3x30 round magazines (all full) of .223 ammo 14 rounds in magazine left in Bushmaster 1 round in chamber of Bushmaster Glock 10mm Sig Sauer 9mm 12 gauge shotgun found in car Found at home: 1,400+ rounds of ammo gun safe was found *unlocked with no sign of being broken into* Lanza's mom bought all "guns used in shootings" various other weapons, destroyed hard drive NRA "certificates" for both Adam and mom [b]Holiday card from mom to Adam with a check to buy another gun[/b] **** The amazing thing is that he could have fired off at least 105 more .223 rounds and an untold number of pistol rounds before he killed himself. I know that overall, assault rifles account for a very small number of total gun homicide deaths, but is that really an excuse to let this kind of stuff continue? I mean, it's ridiculous to allow people access to 30 round magazines, unlimited ammo, and military style rifles.

  • The thing about unlimited ammo, it's not like they walk into a gun store and say "can I buy 1500 bullets". They go in and buy 100, next week 200, then in 2 weeks 150 rounds, and keep that going for a while and they amass all the ammo in a stash.
