<p>MSNBC MUST WATCH, SOMEBODY'S BEEN LYING TO US ? So they finally had to come out and admit it! Seems the Coroner has released some new info along with CT Police. The AR-15 Rifle or the so-called "Assault Weapon" was not used in the Newtown school shooting afterall. The shooter even tried earlier to buy a Rifle but was turned down in the background check. So he had to kill his Mother and steal her rifle. There were initial reports right after the shooting, that Police found the AR-15 Rifle in his car, NOT IN THE SCHOOL. The Rifle was not used inside the school. The Shooter went into the school with 4 handguns. Not an Assault Rifle as the media has charged. I remember in the initial hours of this shooting, the Police said they found the Rifle in the car. But the News Media had a Pre-Planned Attack already waiting, to ban so-called assault weapons and jumped on that line of reporting, knowing it was a lie. Including people like Piers Morgan who said the shooter used an AR-15 that shoots hundreds of rounds per minute, as if it were a machine gun. Could it be that the Democrat Liberals and the Media were pushing for the new laws. Hoping they could do it, before the Coroner released the info. I'm betting on it.</p>

NRA dials up heat on gun ban in (Illinois) SPRINGFIELD -- Fresh off its success at poking holes in a Wilmette handgun ban, the National Rifle Association has launched a new legislative drive to dismantle strong gun prohibitions in Chicago and test Gov. Rod Blagojevich's wavering commitment to broader gun control. Taking direct aim at Mayor Richard Daley's hard-line stance against the proliferation of guns, the NRA package of state legislation would allow residents of Chicago and other communities that ban handgun ownership to legally keep the weapons in their homes for self-defense purposes. It also would hold Chicago and...
