Fact-Checking the NRA
Pretty interesting fact checking. It proves the head of the NRA is really a PIA (pain the the ass)

Sandy Hook Conspiracy Theory: Professor Claims Administration Is Using Media As Means To Push Gun Control
source
Florida Atlantic University professor James Tracy created quite a stir when he revealed his thoughts on a Sandy Hook shooting conspiracy theory.
Tracy gave his opinion on the "Guns and Butter" radio show on Thursday, in which he claims there was a second shooter and there were conflicting media reports surrounding the Dec. 14 tragedy in Newton, Connecticut.
The professor explained his conspiracy theory through several writings on his personal blog titled, "Memory Hole." In the site's four Sandy Hook-related posts, Tracy gives his take on the shooting.
his most recent blog, Tracy addresses media reports that circulated two months prior to the Sandy Hook shooting up until Dec. 14. The professor points out a slew of reports that were made with conflicting information.
He states that those respective inaccuracies ranged from witnesses claiming they saw more than one shadow at the scene to rumors that police had more than one person in custody.
On the "Guns and Butter" program, Tracy was questioned by radio host Bonnie Faulkner about those discrepancies, more specifically, the popular assumption and main belief that there was only one shooter, Adam Lanza.
Faulkner goes over reports stating that one of the suspects was put into custody, while another suspect was taped on camera running in the woods while being chased by The Associated Press.
"Yes, that's correct. That's one of the especially disturbing, and forthright, things about the coverage. The aerial footage of the individual being pursued into the woods by the Newton and Connecticut State Police as well as at least one individual, a student, who saw one of the suspects prone on the ground outside the school in the parking lot, just momentarily," Tracy explained.
Since the reports were never followed up on, the professor believes that President Barack Obama and his team orchestrated an ideal timeline of how long to acknowledge Sandy Hook news so that they can better push gun control legislation forward.
This is one of the most sickest and most ridiculous conspiracy theories I have ever heard of.

I hate to admit it but when I first heard of this tragedy, in the back of my mind I wondered if it was an FBI False Flag operation. I could see them doing something like this in order to get the public to beg to get firearm restrictions. I'm not saying that it was, I don't know, but I do look at any situation from multiple points of view.

Apparently there is a new term for those who think Sandy Hook Shootings were a hoax, they are called Truthers

In answer to your question, yes, I did consider the possibility. I am NOT saying that it was but I wouldn't be shocked if they would do something like that. I don't think it's funny to consider the idea, they've done worse than that.

Sheesh, I said that it was a passing thought! Sorry, I don't just always blindly accept what is presented, I question, try to get info from multiple sources and have my own opinions. As I wrote above, when I first heard of this, in the back of my mind, I thought of the possiblitiy that it could have been instigated in some way, and at the same time hoped that it wasn't. Hope that clarifies things.

Glad you finally ask since you and your buddy seemed so quick to jump to conclusions.
It looks to me that it was a tragic act committed by a very unstable person. It's a shame that these things happen but they do from time to time. I don't blame the firearms. I don't blame movies or violent video games. His Mother, from what I've heard, *was* aware that he was unstable and was about to do something about it but was too late.
