All guns can be disassembled. A rifle barrel is hard to conceal given its length but sure other parts of it would fit in a backpack easily.

Handguns are much easier to conceal and apparently he had two that he used. The rifle I believe was found in his car.....

The shoddy reporting during this situation has been epic. I wish journalists/news outlets would focus less on being first and more on being right. ESPECIALLY in situations like these.

What a shame.

Stuff like this makes me hope the world ends in a week. How can ANYONE do this. I don't care how angry you are at your mother or whatever prompted him to do this, shooting up a school, ESPECIALLY and ELEMENTARY school is disgusting. **** this guy.

I actually had a small argument with my mom last night......it seems so dumb now.

I texted her a little while ago to say how sad I was over the shooting. she agreed.

...and ya, thats some kinda rage....not even explainable

You are absolutely right about this.

In a situation like this we need accurateinformation but no all the media thinks about is winning the ratings race. Disgusting and irresponsible.

Yup. It's all a/b beating the next guy to the punch.

Edit: Reporter I'm watching now just contradicted himself.

I feel sick right now. Sick with relief that Jared is going to be all right and sick over those murdered little ones.

Thank you all of you for keeping him & us in your thoughts today. You guys & gals are the best.
Yay Jared!!!

I understand what you're saying, but this isn't anger, or even rage. This is insanity.

And sadly, horribly, it's not new. Killings like this have been happening for thousands of years.I don't think that will change.

Apparently they are now saying it's not Ryan, but his brother Adam instead.

My god, if thats true way to ruin that kids life because you don't check your facts first before reporting.

If that's true....just....Unreal.

It's one thing to report that you believe a sports lock-out to be over, but to release someone's name as a murderer, without verification is the epitome of irresponsibility.

That may explain the FB page someone posted earlier?

If you want to blame someone, blame law enforcement - that's who reporters rely on for that information.

True.

I am now reading that it was Adam Lanza. Earlier thay had said it was his brother Ryan.

But yes, you're right, reporters would obviously pass on info that the police told them.

That FB page was from 4chan, pretty sure that it's BS.
