I think it goes beyond "rocks between the ears". For righties, there seems to be an absolute barrier to taking in information that contradicts their viewpoints. I mean it's good to be a bit of a skeptic from time to time, but when a big news event like this happens, wait a little, let the dust settle, see which pieces of information can be confirmed by multiple sources and then you get a pretty good understanding of what happened. A cop would surely lie, occasionally several will lie about the same issue, but seriously are you going to refute what the head of the state troopers says when he is backed by all of the first responders stories?
The list of issues where righties refuse to give credibility to a growing chorus of information just gets longer and longer. It seems a righty will believe anybody or anyone that says a certain war is justifiable, or that a certain Republican passed a tax cut, or that a certain scientist disagrees with ACC. But if 100 people refute the justification of a war they are not to be listened to. Or if it pointed out that a Republican passed a TAX INCREASE or that a Dem passed a tax cut then that is not to be believed. Or if 100 scientists agree with ACC that is just an elaborate hoax. The birth certificate issue is such a perfect example of this. Look at all the righties that still question whether BHO is a legitimate U.S. citizen!
This thread has really been eye opening for me. I expected it to be a short lived thread. Maybe 3-10 responses. But day after day people come on here and despite the beginning of the thread having a clear link to the best source of info on the Sandy Hook shooting [state safety/ troopers] people will cite the very media that they so disdain rather than admit that they got their info wrong.
Open up your minds people......

There is not going to be a gun ban this time. Not enough support. Even the majority of democrats are against it.
