Adam Lanza, who went on a shooting rampage last December at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Conn., carried out the killings using 30-round magazines made by Colorados Magpul Industries, according to a 48-page report released Monday.
Lanza used the companys best-known PMAG (polymer magazine), a 30-round magazine, to kill 26 people, including 20 first graders, the report said.
Colorado lawmakers this year passed five bills aimed at strengthening the states gun laws, including a measure that bans the PMAG and any magazine of more than 15 rounds. Lawmakers cited the Sandy Hook shooting as a partial motivation for the laws.
Magpul, which is based in Erie, fought hard to stop the proposal, even threatening to leave the state should it pass (the measure became law in May and, as of November, Magpul has not yet moved although the company said its still planning it).
