Inconsistency?

[Grand58742]

It was put forward on another site the idea was this...

This report was chock full of information that was designed to invoke a strong reaction in the reader (reference my comments above about 1000 rounds of ammo, arsenal of weapons, ambiguous numbers, etc) away from the Pro-2A movement but also came out the same day as the Dear Leader attempting to "shame" Congress into passing gun ban legislation:

That stands no chance of passing right now as well as the SAME day Bloomberg and his merry band of government control nanny state freaks put their anti-gun commercials on in 17 States where Senators are on the fence as gun control:

That he spent $12M of his own money to put out. All this exactly 100 days after the Sandy Hook shooting. But what went overlooked, or probably rather ignored was the fact the NRA put out their own press statement (reported on Huffington Post believe it or not) disavowing any membership of Lanza or his mother:

Except they may have taken a safety class or two. Conveniently ignored? I don't believe in random happenstance and the timing was not exactly coincidental in this case...

There wasn't much coverage about an article regarding a police conference where one of the speakers described Adam Lanza in this manner:

"The man to whom I spoke, a tough career cop who did not wish to see his name in the newspaper, was in the room when the state cop from Connecticut spoke, said the man was well into his presentation when he began to talk of the spreadsheets that had been found at “the shooter’s” home.

“They don’t believe this was just a spreadsheet. They believe it was a score sheet,” he continued. “This was the work of a video gamer, and that it was his intent to put his own name at the very top of that list. They believe that he picked an elementary school because he felt it was a point of least resistance, where he could rack up the greatest number of kills. That’s what (the Connecticut police) believe.”

The man paused and said, “They believe that (Lanza) believed that it was the way to pick up the easiest points. It’s why he didn’t want to be killed by law enforcement. In the code of a gamer, even a deranged gamer like this little bastard, if somebody else kills you, they get your points. They believe that’s why he killed himself.

“They have pictures from two years before, with the guy all strapped with weapons, posing with a pistol to his head. That’s the thing you have to understand: He had this laid out for years before.”

“He didn’t snap that day, he wasn’t one of those guys who was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore,” the man said. “He had been planning this thing forever. In the end, it was just a perfect storm: These guns, one of them an AR-15, in the hands of a violent, insane gamer. It was like **** to a rapist. They feed on it until they go out and say, enough of the video screen. Now I’m actually going to be a hunter.”

Those who didn’t know about Lanza’s life on its way to the gates of hell were told in New Orleans about the plastic that covered his own windows in Newtown, the Connecticut town he would make famous as a way of making himself, the newest glory killer, famous. Were told about how in the last days of his life, not a single ray of light could get into his room.

He was finished with his spreadsheet by then, the old score sheet, one that did not yet have his name on it.

(BTW - The spreadsheet was 7 feet long and 4 feet wide that required a special printer, a document that contained Lanza’s obsessive, extensive research — in nine-point font — about mass murders of the past, and even attempted murders.)

“The whole thing was chilling and riveting,” the law enforcement official said.

“The fascination (Lanza) had with this subject matter, the complete and total concentration. There really was no other subject matter inside his head. Just this: Kill, kill, kill.

“It really was like he was lost in one of his own sick games. That’s what we heard. That he learned something from his game that you learn in (police) school, about how if you’re moving from room to room — the way he was in that school — you have to reload before you get to the next room. Maybe he has a 30-round magazine clip, and he’s only used half of it. But he’s willing to dump 15 rounds and have a new clip before he arrives in the next room.”

The career law enforcement veteran paused again, and when he started speaking again his voice was shaking, like a wind had blown through it.

“They believe he learned the principles of this — the tactical reload — from his game. Reload before you’re completely out. Keep going. When the strap broke on his first weapon (the AR-15), he went to his handgun at the end. Classic police training. Or something you learn playing kill games.”

In fairness, I believe those games do offer some forms of training useful to sick minds... It does teach tactics like use of cover, how to clear a room, how to clear a building room by room, how to pay attention to details (bonus, hidden power-ups), as well as snipe and proper sight placement in the midst of carnage...

What it doesn't teach them, among other things, as can be seen by past mass shooters, is how to handle weapon malfunctions and the effects of recoil and snatching the trigger has on accuracy...

I am not for banning games, but even the military knows these games have training usefulness... But I do think parents need to be aware of what these games show and keep young kids from them, or the unstable older ones...
