“Nobody Died At Sandy Hook”
Appendix D
By: John Lott
I’ll admit it—I’m not fact-checking this chapter, at least not in the way you might expect. Let me explain:

Appendix C
By: James Tracy
At 108 poorly written pages—nearly a quarter of this trainwreck—disgraced former college professor James Tracy’s second contribution manages to stand out as the laziest entry in a collection already notorious for recycling old blog posts verbatim. That’s genuinely impressive.
The chapter is a disjointed compilation of out-of-context snippets from mainstream news articles, arranged in something resembling chronological order. There’s remarkably little editorializing, which leaves me wondering what crybaby Tracy actually believes happened at Sandy Hook.
Based on the incoherent pile of material he assembles, Tracy appears to flirt with a multiple-shooter theory while simultaneously leaning into the ever-popular “FEMA drill” narrative. Conveniently, this ambiguity keeps his claims flexible—because when your book’s title (yes, the entire title) is Nobody Died at Sandy Hook: It Was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control, there isn’t much room for competing hypotheses, is there?

The net result of this ignorance is usually a claim that a website memorializing one (if not all) of the Sandy Hook victims appeared either before or too soon after December 14th, 2012. An ugly variation of this claim incorrectly states that The Avielle Richman Foundation – named for one of the child victims and established by her parents – was founded on the day of the shooting. It makes an appearance in “Nobody Died At Sandy Hook”, courtesy of the very anti-Semitic Nick Kollerstrom in Appendix B:

Appendix B
By: Nick Kollerstrom
I’m not sure why these six pages are included as a second appendix rather than as another chapter, but bizarre editorial choices like this are the least of this book’s problems.
Kollerstrom’s earlier contribution managed to be wrong in just about every conceivable way, so expectations here are already scraping the basement.

Appendix A
This is it—the infamous “FEMA manual” James Fetzer just can’t stop gushing about. Don’t worry if you find it disappointingly underwhelming. That’s probably because it’s an obvious amateur forgery. But before we dive into the weeds, let’s start with a little background.

Afterword
By: Nick Kollerstrom
“No-one has been able to get into the Sandy Hook elementary school to verify if there are any bullet-marks, bloodstains etc” pg. 209
No one? Well—except law enforcement, EMS, crime scene investigators, medical examiners, school staff, and the parents of murdered children. Surely Nick Kollerstrom isn’t genuinely baffled that an elementary school where twenty-six people—including twenty five- and six-year-olds—were slaughtered wasn’t opened up for public walkthroughs.
That said, if Kollerstrom were actually interested in seeing bullet impacts and blood evidence (he isn’t), he could simply consult Detective Walkley’s crime scene documentation, all of which is publicly available in the final report:
- Bullet marks / structural damage: Pages 54–61, 404–431, 448–454, 513, 622–624, 626–630
- Blood evidence: Pages 71, 73, 365, 386, 392, 393, 428, 457, 473, 475, 495, 622-624, 626, 627, 636, 643, 663, 665
Happy reading, Nick.

Epilogue
By: Dennis Cimino
This chapter’s author, Dennis Cimino, manages to out himself as an Obama “birther” by the second paragraph—because of course he does. Not just any birther, either, but a particularly gullible one. The claim that Barack Obama attended school under the name “Barry Soetoro” originated as an April Fool’s joke in 2009. That this is still being repeated years later, in a published book, tells you exactly what level of rigor you’re dealing with here. Buckle up.
