...leaving behind five magazines of ammunition that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said "could have literally killed everyone in that terminal"?

an AR.....M4 type stock.

More like 50. Doesn’t cali ban mags over 10 rounds? Of course criminals will obey that law while breaking others.

[pallis]

Since all of the existing gun laws didn’t work to prevent this, make some more. It doesn’t take any intelligence to sing that tune.

The night before this LAX shooting, I noticed CBS and NBC starting to admit Obamatollah lied about Obamacare.

So i posted online, “Just watch, there will be a staged shooting tomorrow to break the momentum of this story.”

And sure enough, Binky Karmichael shows up guns blazing, carrying a note scripted by Valerie Jarrett (codename Vajazzle).

Now comes new regulations for California, the communists capital of the America.

He was very focused and disciplined — and he brought so many rounds with him because he knew that his target was an overstaffed bloated federal agency with a whole lot of do-nothings laying around.

Is that a 30 rd mag?
or maybe a 10/30 ?

I suppose it could be either; I did read somewhere that the shooter only got off 10 shots, so he may well have had only 50 rounds on him rather than 150.

If my aging eyes are not failing me. Does anyone else notice that the rear flip-up side is in the down position? How does an effective shooter not use his/her sights? Something tells me this whack-o-doddle wasn’t very familiar with the illegal (at least in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia) weapon he was using for this incident.

I'm not sure that it was illegal in California.

The gun in question was as S&W M&P-15 in .223. There is a California compliant version that has a fixed magazine and a bullet button. He could have been using "10/30" magazines that look like normal magazines but are modified to only hold 10 rounds.

If you create a”Gun-Free Zone”then a maniac (with a gun)can do as he pleases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[livius]

No, it’s because the TSA herds everybody into a tightly packed, vulnerable crowd with virtually no security. I worry about it every time I’m standing at the checkpoint. All it would take is one crazy shooter or one suicide bomber to wipe us all out.

If this guy had wanted to, he could have gone through all of them in no time flat.

A prerequisite of being elected mayor of LA isn't being able to do math - it's too hard. Now that I think of it, being able to do math isn't a pre-req for ANY CA pol! In fact, I think that not being able to do simple math MAY BE a prerequisite to be elected in CA!

I always figured that when the VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA turned down a gun ban back in 1982 (Proposition 15) that handguns AND THEIR MAGAZINES AND AMMO were protected.

I see they were not as the KALI politicians have been finding all sorts of methods to get around THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

[absalom01]

Good point: we keep getting demonstrations that the present “security” culture is so inept that we can’t even protect ourselves from a schizophrenic in the middle of psychotic break.

Time to try something different, maybe?
