The National Rifle Association on Thursday denied any “member relationship” with Adam Lanza or his mother, Nancy Lanza, after police documents released Thursday revealed that NRA materials were found at the Lanza home.
“There is no record of a member relationship between Newtown killer Adam Lanza, nor between Nancy Lanza, A. Lanza or N. Lanza with the National Rifle Association,” the NRA said in a statement. “Reporting to the contrary is reckless, false and defamatory.”
In addition to weapons and ammunitions, authorities found “a certificate from the National Rifle Association bearing the name Adam Lanza, a receipt from a shooting range in Oklahoma, an N.R.A. guide to the basics of pistol shooting and training manuals on the use of a variety of firearms, including a Bushmaster,” according to the New York Times.
