[quote:Anonymous Coward 9943244:MV8yMDgyNTM3XzM1MDg3MDgzX0FEQTAzODY0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27352798:MV8yMDgyNTM3XzM1MDg3MDQ4Xzk2QzdBRUUw] I, too, have been hearing since Friday morning that Adam Lanza had a Bushmaster "in" the "trunk of his car" and used the Glock and the Sig Sauer to shoot those people. However, on the news tonight, they clearly stated that Lanza used the Bushmaster for the killing spree, and only used one of his sidearms once, to shoot himself. So my guess is that the earlier (probably true) version of the event where he did NOT use the Bushmaster at all did not jive with their plans to eliminate semi-automatic weapons. After all, if he only used the two handguns, why get rid of the AKs? So now they have changed the story line. [/quote] Oooooh , yes, it's all just a big conspiracy to make the AR-15 and assault rifles in general look bad ! Better keep that tinfoil hat on your head ... [/quote]

Earlier tonight while at Wally World we swung by sporting goods so I could pick up some fishing supplies. Daughter no.1 first noticed it, an AR-15 (not sure if it was a Bushmaster) on display in the gun case behind the counter.
Daughter number 2 is a bit older and more aware, and she was very upset at seeing it there. She asked "daddy, is that the gun that was used to kill all those kids in the school?" -- and I had to answer that yes dear, that's the gun that was used to kill those kids.
I will be writing a letter to Walmart asking them to at least consider not selling AR-15s anymore, or at least keep them where young children cannot see them. Daughter no. 2 is still very upset ...
