PS - none of those are "heavy duty". That's sensationalist BS.

"Adam Lanza killed his mother at their house, then stormed into Sandy Hook Elementary School carrying a Glock 9 mm handgun, a SIG Sauer handgun,"

How the hell do you "brandish" ANYTHING that's in a car and you are in a building? You can't. Saying he did anything other than leave it in the car is a lie. He didn't use it. He didn't have it on him. He wasn't 'carrying' or 'brandishing' it.
