Piers Morgan exposes Dana Loesch’s lack of gun knowledge by making up models, calibers, deleting

Dana Loesch’s calling out of CNN’s “real journalist” Piers Morgan over his error in categorizing the caliber of the Bushmaster rifle used in the Sandy Hook massacre might seem petty, aside from two reasons. First, Morgan believes he’s fully qualified to determine what weapons American citizens should and should not be allowed to own. Second, he himself wastes no opportunity to call out his detractors on their spelling errors, like so:

Then, this about 4 handguns etc (watch thru to end): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju_NllT1iDo

I think you can pretty well assume here that when NBC said 4 handguns, he meant 4 guns [not just handguns]. Either that or he misunderstood what was told him.

And the video maker here thinks that his watchers are stupid and don't know a shotgun from a rifle.

What about the video of the item being taken out of the car trunk?

I'm confused.

5.56mm = 0.219in

5.66mm = 0.223in

5.92mm = 0.233in

The cartridge is designated as 5.56 mm or .223".

I'm still confused.

It's the video of a shotgun not a rifle. The rifle was found in the school.

Not long ago, Bill O’Reilly talked about an “AK-15”—whatever that is.

He thought it was a young AK-30 -- when it was a teenager.

That’s what was reported, lanza used two pistols and later they found an AR-15 “assault” rifle in the trunk of his car.

The AR was found in the psycho’s car.... Not used in the school.


How do we know this?

“What about the video of the item being taken out of the car trunk?”

Where is the video of the other weapons being removed from the school? The angle of the video of the car indicates it was taken from above, as was that of the man being chased down in the woods, so we know there was recording being done on site.

Where is the security video of the school/inside the school? The audio of the 911 calls? The audio of the intercom being broadcast throughout the school? Would that audio be broadcast outside, too, say, toward a playground, the front sidewalk or the teachers’ parking lot?

Where is other testimony? At all? From people who came?

How could emergency vehicles get out, based on the pix we’ve seen?

Is it even possible to refurbish, rewire, and equip an unused school in 2 weeks? Who was on the construction crews? Where are the pictures, which should be a source of civic pride, given such an extraordinary pace—two weeks.

If police were 2.5 miles away, why did it take them 20 minutes to arrive after receiving the 911 call?

We have that:

It didn't take 20 minutes.

According to police dispatch [#33], the first units were there within 3 to 5 minutes of the first call.

This has been an absolute bonanza for Piers Morgan. Hardly anybody knew who he was before. After taking over for Larry King, the ratings tanked. He’s managed to get his name back out there now. I’m sure he’ll get a nice bump in ratings.

The whole problem is those concealable 105mm semi-autonomous reciprocating derringer pistols. Nobody uses them to hunt deer, just movie-goers. The evil things should be banned (the pistols, not the movie-goers).

I saw Lt. Paul Vance claim that the rifle was used and that the only round fired from a pistol was the one used to kill himself.

Thats the big problem with these false flag operations, getting everyone to remember the script the first time around...

I saw a report describing the weapons used and advising the rifle was in the shooters car, found after the killings took place inside with two pistols
