This Graphic Of Adam Lanza's Home Arsenal Is Devastating

Victoria Fine

The Sandy Hook shooter had this shocking amount of weapons and bullets tucked away into the house he shared with his mother. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to have this much ammo.

The warrant released represents everything found in Adam Lanza's house that he shared with his mother as well as his car. However, the paperwork had a lot of errors. We tried to re-create the list of items seized to the best of our ability.

For example .45 ACP ammo in the house but no weapon that used it. My guess is that some of what was found was leftovers from the divorce. Her ex-husband was also a shooter.

Interesting also the missing things that were cited earlier (Henry rifle, other shotgun).

The obvious errors in the inventory and some of the sloppiness makes me consider what else they missed or got wrong.

As for the paranoia, nothing in the list indicates she was particularly paranoid. Small amount of firearms and smaller ammo quantities than I would have expected.

What has been released about type and quantity does not match the graphic. Some of the follow on explanations made it even the listings questionable

It also shows just how off even the law enforcement reports were early on. For example what happened to the Henry rifle?

The paperwork does explain why some of the articles after its release were so screwed up...because the inventory is clearly incorrect. Have to wonder what else they messed up.
