The hosts discuss the discovery of victim DNA on weapons found outside the school and in the shooter's car, which investigators attributed to "accidental transference."

Workers demolishing the Sandy Hook Elementary School are required to sign strict confidentiality agreements, forbidding them from taking photos or discussing the site. The hosts question the necessity of such secrecy for a public construction project. They compare the lack of public information to other high-profile events like the burial of Osama bin Laden.

The discussion shifts to the Washington Navy Yard shooting, framing it as part of a broader "war on crazy" rather than just a gun control issue.

The investigation into the Navy Yard shooting is scrutinized, specifically the initial misidentification of the shooter as Raleigh Chance. Reports indicated that Chance's ID was found at the scene, leading to the FBI detaining him at his home while the actual shooter was already dead. The hosts compare this confusion to the Sandy Hook shooting, where the perpetrator reportedly carried his brother's identification.

Connecticut officials are working on secret legislation to withhold records related to the Newtown school shooting, including victim photos and 911 audio recordings. While transcripts may be released, the actual audio will remain suppressed. Critics argue this lack of transparency fuels skepticism and prevents a full public understanding of the police investigation into the massacre.
