DonDiego needs a little review to understand what is going on here.

This is not true:
Lanza shot and killed his mother Nancy Lanza, aged 52, at their Newtown home with a .22-caliber Savage MK II-F bolt action rifle. This weapon employs a .22 caliber cartridge.
Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staff members, . . . with his mother's Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle. This firearm fires the .223 Remington cartridge, nearly identical to the 5.56×45mm NATO military cartridge.
As the police arrived on-scene, Adam Lanza shot himself in the lower rear portion of his head with a Glock 20SF semi-automatic handgun. This weapon employs a 10mm cartridge.
The police recovered a 9mm SIG Sauer P226 handgun with Adam Lanza's body. This weapon fires a 9mm cartridge.
Outside the school, an Izhmash Saiga-12 shotgun was found in the car Lanza had driven. This weapon fires a 12-gauge shotgun shell.
Ref: wikipedia
.22 cal cartridges remain legal in Connecticut. .223 Remington cartridges remain legal in Connecticut. 9mm and 10mm cartridges remain legal in Connecticut. 12-gauge shotgun shells remain legal in Connecticut.
Therefore, none of the ammunition used in the shootings is illegal in Connecticut.n.b. On 13 February 2015, the [Federal] Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) released a document that proposed the reclassification of "5.56mm constituent projectiles of SS109 and M855 cartridges" from the category of "primarily used for sporting purposes" to that of "armor piercing ammunition." This might well have led to the banning of the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge in the United States, . . . and possibly the banning of the .223 Remington cartridge as well.
On 10 March 2015, the ATF released a statement confirming that the reclassification proposal was halted indefinitely due to overwhelming public commentary opposing it.

Therefore, the 5.56x45mm NATO military cartridge and the .223 Remington cartridge remain legal in the USA.item ii.Quote

The ammosexual (sic) who killed the kids below used a clip that held 30 bullets, which was legal to purchase at the time. Because freedom. Like I said, those are now illegal in Connecticut..
As has already been clarified Adam Lanza carried two magazines, not "clips" with a capacity of 30 rounds each of .223 Remington cartridges for the Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle.
Connecticut has restricted the capacity of magazines within the State:
"As of April 4, 2013, magazines holding more than 10 rounds are considered Large Capacity Magazines (LCM), and such magazines manufactured after that date may not be sold or transferred within the state. Existing owners of LCMs may possess such magazines if they declare them with the DESPP before January 1, 2014. Owners of registered LCMs may not load such magazines with more than 10 rounds except when inside the owner's home or on the premises of a licensed shooting range. Even if an individual has a permit to carry a pistol or revolver, they can never carry, other than at a shooting range, a pistol that has an LCM loaded with more than 10 bullets. Unlawfully possessing a Large Capacity Magazine obtained prior to the ban's effective date is an infraction with a $90 fine for the first offense, and a Class D felony (punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or $5,000 fine) for subsequent offenses. Unlawfully possessing a LCM obtained after the effective date of the ban is a Class D felony."
So, other than not being able to differentiate between "ammunition", "clip", and "magazine" forkush was, indeed, right on, . . . in his own little world.
