Arsenal ?

[JustinN]

I'm glad they specifically list:

Adam Lanza's National Rifle Association certificate
Nancy Lanza's NRA certificate

Pretty unbiased huh? That feel like a direct attack on the NRA to anyone? I mean really?? The police seized those in a search warrant??

[Bawanna]

Wow, an Enfield 323 rifle. Those are rare as chicken lips.

They make a big long list but if one took the time to add it all up, there isn't really a lot there, no more than most gun people would have.

In fact I'd feel terribly under stocked if that's all I had.

[JustinN]

some of the items listed are just stupid.....like the "certificates" and the "one spent .22 casing"

[JohnR]

I didn't get a certificate from the NRA, just a wallet-sized card and tons of junk mail.

There's some fishy-sounding stuff in what the media reported today.

1. A shotgun in the GLOVE COMPARTMENT of a HONDA CIVIC?!? Not even a sawed-off would fit in there. Obviously wrong/bogus. Unless Kahr makes a sub-compact 12-gauge I never heard of. :)

2. They mention "2 magazines with 70 rounds of 12-gauge ammo". In what universe is this? Even those ridiculous-looking Arsenal Saiga shotguns with mags hold like 12 rounds. Assuming a 35 round mag (70 / 2 = 35), could you even hope to raise/aim such a beast?

I'm sure a lot of this can be attributed to Media Morons who can't be bothered with attempting to understand what they've been told. But cmon...really?

You'll shoot your eye out! Ho, ho, ho!

Oh wait...that was a Red Ryder BB gun. Never mind. :)

did u really expect anything differentfrom the media people They ain't on our side:Amflag2:

as much as I detest Harry Reid, he is gonna be the catalyst asto how little even gets passed. He aina't for these controls. but I do think we gonna see some kind of registration passed between private people. It will serve no purpose but 80% of the people feel that this kind of regestration would help, and these legislators also feel they have to pass sumpin to appease and this is probalby as less restrictve as they will vote for. They ain't gonna get einsteins gun ban, no way in hell is that gonna happen.

I love the cover of the Ameircan Rifleman today. That has to piss the great one off (I don't mean u colonel)..

I think that "80% of people favor stronger background checks" statistic is as phony as the "40% of sales are without a background check" bullsh!t. Just more lefty lies (what else is new).

Besides, I hear there's an old-fashioned filibuster abrewin' with Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz (my man!!!). The background check thing may never even make it to the Senate floor.

Not to derail the thread here, but this reminded me...

When my step-father was on his death bed (and not really possessing a full range of thought processing abilities anymore) he responded to my mom's question as to whether or not he was hungry for anything other than hospital food with a request for some deep fried chicken lips.

As an added afterthought, he also requested that she be happy and get remarried after he's gone, but to not marry a big fat guy with a little d*ck.

Good times... carry on. :D

I somehow survived highschool with several of my guns in my room every day and night, crazy.

Not crazy, just responsible! I had a buddy in high school (1975) that stored his Ruger 10/22, Colt .45 and Winchester 30-30 in his bedroom. No problem, no issues...

You guys have to realize that the word "arsenal" was used because it's shorter that saying, "the contents of his mother's safe". Edited for brevity is the term used. It was in no way intended to slant the article, or to reveal the bias of the author of the piece. Anything more than a single shot bolt action .22 rifle is considered an arsenal of weapons in liberal speak. Anyone can take an NRA gun safety course and receive a certificate of completion. They do not have to be an NRA member. The NRA has no record of Lanza or his mother being NRA members. Only about 7% of gun owners belong to the NRA.

NRA Confirms Adam Lanza, Nancy Lanza Were Not Members, Despite Certificates

As I suspected, the "certificates" must have been course certificates from NRA instructors.

LaPierre calls this defamatory, so I hope the NRA sues their asses off.

Obviously was not in it for the long haul. Not much of his equipment listed is expensive or collectable. Unfortunately, without help from parent (s) he may have had to spend his life as a XBOX warrior.

All that Harry is doing is covering his own behind. There are a dozen democrat senators from red states running for reelection and harry doesn't want to lose his majority in the senate. I don't see anything passing in the next two years except for maybe a watered down version of background checks and some funding for mental illness. Even his highness Obama doesn't have high hopes for passage. That's not to say that we should let our guard down.

Only about 7% of gun owners belong to the NRA.

After seeing how the NRA fights for us, I dont get why anyone doesnt join. Its the cost of a box of ammo now to join. I would like to see that number much much higher.

I'd like to see every law abiding gun owner become a member of the NRA. If they did no politician would ever attempt to disarm the populous. An even smaller percentage of us ever served in the military. I think that every able bodied male should serve a minimum of two years on active duty. That would straighten out a lot that's wrong with this country. Ladies should have the option to serve, but not in combat roles. Just my opinion, ladies. Don't make me reach for my gun. :)

What is your reasons for no women in combat roles? Israel has women in combat roles and it seems to work out. In Africa there were the Lybian Amazons who the Greeks feared. The Dahomey and the Hausa that were fierce women warriors..
The writings of historian Saxo Grammaticus— Saxo wrote of Lathgertha, “a skilled female fighter who bore a man’s temper in a girl’s body with locks flowing loose over her shoulders as she would do battle in the forefront of the most valiant warriors"
Clearly, women can fight.
Finally, isnt this country about freedom? Its should be a woman's freedom to choose if she wants to fight and at what capacity for her country. Or do we go down the road of picking and choosing who has what freedoms and dictate that to our citizens? Kind of what we hate about the antigunners isnt it?

I didn't get a certificate from the NRA, just a wallet-sized card and tons of junk mail.

The certificate is used when completing training. The card is for membership. The certificate is not issued by the NRA but by the NRA certified instructor.

[KoolBreeze]

I too hope the NRA sues their pants off for that obvious attack.

As for an arsenal, that's not much of an arsenal. I only count 6 firearms, not including the BB gun. I had more than that by the time I was 12.

I have no issue with women serving in combat roles, just as long as they can pass the exact same training as their male counterparts and that's what they want to do.

I agree that the testing has to be standard. For example: I dont care if there are female firefighters. As long as one of then can get my burning butt out of the house on fire, I am good.

We have a different society than Israel, or the others. Here although it's getting pretty rare there is still chauvenism and unfortunately the ones that still practice it are usually the good guys, and guys who would join the military.

They shouldn't need to deal with gender issues and all the expenses of putting women in combat, special needs.

This is absolutely not to say woman can't fight, they most certainly can and in many cases far better than some of the young males in the military now days.

Just with our society i don't think it'll work without costing good boys their lives.

Truth be told it's the same but not as bad an issue in law enforcement. Women are almost always backed up on nearly every event where male officers usually handle minor stuff alone, especially if the female officer happens to be well liked or cute.

I'm know I'm going to hell for my chauvinist attitude, my bags are packed, just the way I feel.

He!! I got no problem at all with women in combat...Get a squad of um all PMS'n at the same time, give um 4 or 5 glasses of wine and tell um their boyfriends cheating on um with their best friend and turn um loose!!!....Wouldn't want to be on the other side of that bunch....:cool:

"Holiday card with a check from Nancy Lanza to Adam Lanza for purchase of C183 firearm"

Not sure if this has been pointed out, but interesting that all that comes up when you 'google' 'C183' is a Kodak camera......wow, 14mp of death and destruction.

Wasn't it ACTUALLY "Momma Lanza's" arsenal?

I think the full auto, high capacity, assault bb gun may have actually been psycho boy's.
