We all know that that is not true.

No, if they had been killed with revolvers or shotguns the left would be wanting to talk about banning those.

The ME's statement is that the bushmaster was the primary weapon, so have the police statements. Pretending this isn't the case only serves to make us gun owners look like birthers and 9/11 truthers.
I'd like to know how the ME can tell the mfr of a weapon from an autopsy.

Kids die everyday in Chicago, and other inner cities from those guns.

No talk about that....

Are you doubting the ME's opinion? If you are then aren't YOU talking about a government conspiracy? It would have to be for the ME to be fabricating evidence and the police and other officials to along with it, right?

You do understand that a medical examiner's job is not to determine cause and manner of death soley from medical evidence don't you? I am pro-gun rights but just want to point out that a medical examiner takes all the information availabe into account.

In this case, if the police reported to the M.E. that a bushmaster was the weapon found on the decedent and suspected shooter, and most children were killed with a .223 round, then the likely conclusion is that the bushmaster was that was the primary weapon.

Hope that answers your question.

Not to mention that since they had the weapon the ME could have matched bullets from the victims to that exact weapon, not just the manufacturer.

You should have quit while your ahead. It is NOT the medical examiners job to match bullets.
