I'm sorry, I didn't read the report. I will take your word for it.Could you tell me if the Mag. was reported a "high capacity" thirty round mag,also was the bushmaster reported as an "assault" weapon.Or were these monikers added by you and the the rest of the liberal gun control crowd?
Digger, you didn't even need to read the whole report. In my post above you can see that the official statement from the Connecticut State Troopers calls it a "Bushmaster .223 caliber-- model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round magazine".
And again it is the Connecticut State Trooper that refers to this gun as an assault weapon. Here is that quote:
"Lt. J. Paul Vance, the face of an ongoing Connecticut State Police investigation into worst grade-school shooting in U.S. history, Thursday debunked media and Internet reports that Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza killed his victims with handguns and not the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S rifle that is now the focus of a proposed federal assault-weapons ban.
All 26 of Lanza's victims were shot with the .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle, said Vance, who bristled at claims to the contrary during an interview with Hearst Connecticut Newspapers.
"It's all these conspiracy theorists that are trying to mucky up the waters," said Vance, the longtime state police spokesman."

I will defer to State Police when it comes to how they classify or identify weapons.
