Obama: Newtown Shooter Gunned Down 20 Children With 'Fully Automatic Weapon'

At a fundraiser last night in San Francisco, President Barack Obama said that the Newtown killer gunned down 20 children using a "fully automatic weapon." From the official transcript, provided by the White House:
 

Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues:  gun control.  (Applause.)  I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly. 
 
According to the prosecutor, Stephen J. Sedensky III, the killer, Adam Lanza, "killed all 26 victims inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10 mm handgun. He says Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster," ABC previously reported.
 
Each of the guns used is a semi-automatic weapon, and not one is an automatic weapon.

So either Obama is wrong--or he revealed something last night about the massacre that hasn't yet been known.

Via Allahpundit.

The lies never fucking end w this pofs.

Yeah... He's lying his ass off.

Nothing new for Obama - everything the man ever says is a lie.

Is that the best defense you can mount for the Messiah?

he clearly mispoke

let someone record your every word (or just read your 100+ daily posts) and you'll find numerous examples of the same thing only in your case you do it intentionally

too bad the media doesn't focus on this fact that this shooter used 30 round clips and if he only had 10 round clips it almost a certainty that there would be fewer kids shot to pieces (literallyh) that day

I do not believe one should "misspeak" when we are talking about such a sensitive issue as gun control.

Isn't Obama considered quite the intelligent person? Someone who rarely misspeaks? That's also a sign of his intelligence right?

If so, then why do you give him a pass on this one?

[Straw Man]

if you want to blame someone for the deaths at Waco you should blame the fundie nutbags who started the fire that killed themselves

   Who started the fire that erupted a little more than six hours after the FBI began inserting the tear gas on April 19?

Although several of the surviving Branch Davidians insist that they did not start the fire, a panel of arson investigators concluded that the Davidians were responsible for igniting it, simultaneously, in at least three different areas of the compound. Unless they were deliberatley set, the probability of the three fires starting almost simultaneously was highly unlikely, according to fire experts. Furthermore, the videotapes show the use of accelerants that strongly increased the spread of the fire. Although one Branch Davidian stated that a FBI tank had tipped over a lantern, videotapes show that the tank had struck the building a minute and a half before the fire began. Also some of the surviving Davidians' clothing showed evidence of lighter fluid and other accelerants. In addition, FBI listening devices seemed to establish that the Davidians were overheard making statements such as, "Spread the fuel," some six hours before the fires began. (Joint Hearing of the Crime Subcommittee July 1995.)


    What caused the death of more than 80 Branch Davidians inside the compound on April 19?

Medical examiners, Dr. Nizam Peerwani and Dr. Rodney Crow, have told FRONTLINE that many of them died from asphyxiation when the intense fire raced through the compound. Others, particularly women and children who huddled under wet blankets in a concrete chamber, were fatally injured when debris collapsed on them during the fire, the officials said. Still others were shot to death, suicide or homicide victims in apparent mercy killings, they said. Both the coroners and some FBI sources have told FRONTLINE that the pattern of most of the bodies was not consistent with a theory of mass suicide.

feel free to point out what in my post is not correct

Some of the MAGAZINES he used were half empty I read.

people mispeak all the time

it's not intentional

was he asked about this statement somewhere

did he correct it or did he insist he was right that first time about "fully auotmatic"?

[Straw Man]

correct

the recent info released said that he changed magazine when entering each room and some where not completely empty

apparently this is something that is common with video games and the speculation was that he was living out some type of video game fantasy

again - what part of my statement was not accurate or are you just going to admit you lied yet again?

Sounds flimsy... When you talk about things like armament, you should be very accurate. We are all well aware of the sensitivity of the topic.

[Soul Crusher]

It was not a mis speak - it was an intentional lie. 

[Straw Man]

are you kidding

you think the topic somehow prevent people from making misstatements?

If there is some follow up where he defends the false statement then you might have something

[Straw Man]

It was not a mis speak - it was an intentional lie. 

feel free to actually prove that

you're supposedly a lawyer

right?

[Soul Crusher]

but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.

Another Obama lie. Nothing new here.

Exactly... He even CLARIFIED that it was an automatic weapon... Not a misspeak at all.

[headhuntersix]

So when Obama says things that support the liberal agenda he's smart and cool and the best possible Obama ever...but when he he proves to be a fucking retard on a subject he knows nothing about...he misspoke? I get it...only Conservatives and libertarians are stupid. Barry is awsome and everybody who supports gun rights is a white bigot who loves dead kids.

[blacken700]

does it really matter, those kids are still dead 

[Straw Man]

but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly. 


________________________ ________________

I don't need it explained

he clearly mispoke

if you have some proof he intentionally lied then go ahead and provide it

I'm going to assume that this is simple a speaking error because everyone knows that fully automatic weapons are not currently legal

If he were going to intentionally lie he would do it in such a stupid and easily provably false way

that type of lying is something that you normally do
