Hold on! You have repeatedly denied that rifles are going to result in more deaths than handguns. Therefore, you are denying a tactical advantage to using rifles. In that case, why would the cops be "out-gunned" with pistols?

You can't have it both ways. Which is it?

You absolutely can in instances where one party is armed and the other is not, such as Newtown.

BTW the media falsely reported that he used the bushmaster, it was found in the trunk of the car, he used 4 handguns to kill 20 something people, now what do you say about that?


He killed all of them with handguns, and the medical examiner either has no idea what he is talking about, or has a bull#^&#^&#^&#^& political agenda

I've been trying to find anything aside from this video to confirm the claim. It's impossible to get any concrete info from media sources (I refuse to call them news outlets) that are constantly pushing an agenda. I, too, have heard that the Bushmaster was found in the car, but I have also heard it was a pump shotgun in the car, and he brought the Bushmaster and two pistols into the school.

On scene, it's quite easy to know the difference. Either they found .223 casings all over the place or they didn't. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reliable source through Google.

I wonder why ? NBC is not exactly a gun loving station like say Fox news, and I have been searching for it too. I think the Newtown chief is waiting for the entire investigation to be complete before he releases any details. This was leaked by the Feds supposedly. The medical examiner is a dope...

I'm sure this is been answered already Jim and you know the answer.
Rifles are a better weapon at longer ranges
Hand guns are a close proximity weapon
Cops entering a building to engage a man with a weapon don't intend to shoot him from close proximity .

Really?

JimCT...
what weapon did you guys carry when clearing rooms/buildings during your tours? I assume that was quite often close quarters...

I guess I should have stated that a rifle would be better in multiple situations where a hand gun is not .
And don't forget the intimidation factor... They look scary
