My first thought when I heard about it was that an unhinged liberal felt the need to "make those Trump supporters pay" for what they've done.Sickening. Absolutely horrendous. And, even tho I hate to make this political, the whacky left is going to turn this into a gun problem rather than what it really is.
The only one who knows for sure can't tell us what his grievance was...I heard some speculation that he was a disgruntled gambler getting revenge. Who knows?
It was a fully automatic. My understanding is that's illegal.Sickening. Absolutely horrendous. And, even tho I hate to make this political, the whacky left is going to turn this into a gun problem rather than what it really is.
It was a fully automatic. My understanding is that's illegal.
Report is that they found 10 rifles in his room.It was a fully automatic. My understanding is that's illegal.
His father was a bank robber psychopath, according to the shooter's brother.
Just saw that at least some of the weapons found were "Police weapons," whatever that implies.
I'm just saying that when he purchased the weapons they were perfectly legal semi-auto units. He modified them to shoot as full auto. There is a trick I can use to change my Glock hand guns into full auto as well. As of now, on a rifle this is not an illegal mod. At least in Michigan it isn't. Although, you don't want to have to use a handgun that has been modified. Not illegal to carry, but if you need to shoot someone they will check it out and if you have a 3# trigger or something, there could be trouble. But, bump stocks are currently legal. Now, whether or not the guns were purchased legally or stolen, I can't tell you. All I know is that he was not in possession of a true assault weapon. In fact, true automatics were outlawed in 1934, and there has been a total of THREE crimes committed with these weapons since that time.Greg, I beg to differ. The weapons (or some of them) were fully automatic after his modifications. I know there probably isn't a way to prevent this, other than making the bump stock illegal (which won't work either). (maybe we're just talking semantics).
IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY GRANDKIDS GOING TO A CONCERT, SCHOOL, PEACEFUL GATHERING, MOVIE, CHURCH, BAR OR ANY OTHER LARGE GATHERING OF FOLKS, AND LOSING THEIR LIFE, I CHOOSE GUN CONTROL.
AGREED BRUCE. SAD DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
