I need assistance with a math problem

[hortysir]

This was the list released on March 28th of what he had.
It says 6 magazines.

This is one of many examples of why people are upset with our mainstream news media.

Thank you,Peach

It always comes down to the gun nuts argueing the details, ignoring the people that have died for their idiocy. I believe that the Newton police department should release all the photos from that shooting, and they should be posted on every block in this nation.

To what end? Aside from causing serious mental pain to the parents and survivors of the victims, exactly what would that accomplish?

3 magazines were found on him at the scene according to your link. Not that he only used only three during his mad killing spree.

This is right up there with the Governor who claimed he had to have a background check to be a passenger on an airplane.

Dianne Feinstein answered all these questions for us:

Prove the article wrong.

Reb forgot to mention that he also carried two handguns. Not all the shots came from the Bushmaster

What other guns used .223 ammo

I would like to see an article stating there were 6 magazines

154 total rounds were fired from all weapons

Peach linked the article stating 6 magazines.
The 154 number was just .223 ammo

It's not a problem of math until you add in all the items.
If a particular news outlet fails to include all the information - that's a journalism problem.

Seriously no joke I need to figure out how 3 30 round magazines plus 1 30 round magazine of 223 can shoot 154 rounds?

OK now how did I come up with this problem?
In this news release
Obama: Newtown Shooter Gunned Down 20 Children With 'Fully Automatic Weapon' | The Weekly Standard
Stephen J. Sedensky III a prosecutor said Adam Lanza had 3 30 round magazines with 223 ammo and I'm guessing Lanza also had a magazine in the rifle which would make it 120rounds of 223

But in this news release from ABC Sedensky said their were 154 spent .223 casings were recovered at the scene.

I'm not even wanting to focus on what obama said. I'm starting this thread in the name of math

That IS an interesting question.

Assuming we know that the perp did not reload.

Do we know that?

OK as an experienced firearm owner and one who has magazine fed firearms you don't have time to reload the magazine It takes at least 2 too 3 minutes to load a 30 round magazine.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Let me guess. This thread will end with the OP not admitting that he is wrong.

Why should I admit that I am wrong I proved the links and I asked the math problem
So tell me are you here to troll or answer that math problem?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

He found a news article that was wrong....therefore he is not wrong and is entitled to repeat it over and over and over

Prove the article wrong.

The brass casings at the shooting was 223 157 of them.

I don't see you demanding more restrictions on them.

The article didn't say he used 3 30-round magazines. It says that is what he had on him, along with a pistol, when he was found. I read that to mean he had another 3 magazines he hadn't used when he killed himself.

Here is what the link actually said

According to the prosecutor, Stephen J. Sedensky III, the killer, Adam Lanza, "killed all 26 victims inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10 mm handgun. He says Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster,"

Details are important

So we don't see any reason to do anything at all when first graders are massacred

The bushmaster he had was already banned in that state.

The president is doing exctactly what the NRA suggested = funding more armed school guards.
