Only 150 people in an LAX terminal? Either flying has gotten a lot less popular, or the mayor is lying.

Hm...which could it be?

Fortunately Cali has banned assault weapons so that could not happen.

Those .223 heat-seeking bullets are so powerful, they’ll track down and go through 20-30 people — at least...

/S

Why is it when I am in line there are armed guards with german sheperds around and when CIAncia shows up everyone is unarmed.

The gun looked like an M1 Carbine to me in the poor picture I saw. Not much of an assault riffle.

You really don’t have to ask, do you? ... crisis, not go to waste, exploitation, etc.

Did the shooter use a McCAIN GUN (Syrian al-Qaeda), or an OBAMAGUN (Fast & Furious)?

A better picture has been released. Definitely an AR of some sort.

Prayers up for the tsa employee and family. On the other hand, directed at the mayor’s ignorant comment. LOL! Yup. I heard this on the radio yesterday and about fell out of the truck. Looks like the mayor has been partaking in some of that recreational mary jane. From what I saw, heard and read, there were a few thousand people in the terminal and adjacent areas. Thankfully this must all be a ruse because we all know that these types of weapons and “high capacity ‘clip’” are NOT ALLOWED in kali. “Yet another attempted mass shooting in a gun free zone.”

Immediate Lessons From The LAX Attack By a Lone Suicidal Maniac

Los Angeles, CA—We are quickly learning about suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 who shot up Terminal 3 at LAX Airport.

Ciancia had one of those ugly black guns outlawed in his home jurisdiction of Pennsville, New Jersey and within the not so golden state of California.

We will learn about Ciancia’s frail mental health and how he broke various gun bans and restrictions already in place. Again we learn that gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding who are left defenseless and at the mercy of armed thugs.

Ciancia’s parents put out a frantic call to police after the troubled lad sent disturbing suicidal texts to his brother.

Assuming he survives his UCLA Hospital stay we will learn a lot more about Ciancia’s psychiatric failure in some courtroom.

Ciancia suddenly taught us that our airports are still soft targets and that determined thugs can easily defeat the Security Theater Gauntlet posed by the TSA. Imagine what three armed terrorists could have done after they breached the TSA barriers within seconds like Ciancia?

Let me also say that terrorists could even more simply gain access to any airport tarmac quickly and virtually unnoticed to do mayhem to any jet filled with passengers.
We must remember that our jets are not made of bullet or bomb resistant material but soft and light aircraft aluminum. A small truck bomb could kill hundreds on one of our normally filled to capacity planes.

The TSA does little but destroy the employability and lives of people that absent-mindedly leave lawfully owned firearms in their suitcases.

When it’s suggested that forgetfulness is no excuse we seem to forget our own female family members. Every day they forget and leave expensive lotions and beauty potions in their carryon’s only to see them confiscated by TSA workers.
The TSA practice of disarming pilots, off duty or retired cops and military members only makes our soft airport targets even more vulnerable.

Overall the TSA is one of the more worthless jobs program ever created. Putting the hard corps unemployed into police style costumes has done nothing to make anyone safe.
The real less here is we will only get more of the same because our brain-dead politicians will never understand nor accept reality.

Yep. Need to see the side of the lower receiver to see the manufacturers mark to determine who made it.

Looks like a standard m4 profile barrel, mid-length grips, flat-top upper with flip-up irons.

Building something similar for my Daughter right now.

It's all about the OPTICS

All the RAT Mayors get the same memo to start the verbal campaign and use the phrases needed to drive the narrative.

“More Gun Free Zone signs are needed!!!!”

The language needs to be changed to:

ABSOLUTE GUN FREE ZONE!

THIS TIME WE MEAN IT!

I read/heard somewhere that it was not an AR. I wonder if this was a plant? A note in his pocket had the initials NWO, New World Order?

illogical argument for a logical solution:

LA Mayor: LAX Gunman "could have literally killed everyone in that terminal" (had 5 magazines)-

because everyone was unarmed.

Solution: Arm everyone.

Problem: California and USA gun control laws cannot control nuts with guns and criminals with guns

Solution- get rid of all gun control laws-

I don’t get it. I thought that kind of gun was outlawed in California. Isn’t that guy breaking the law by possessing one? Oh, yeah. Right. Criminals don’t obey the law. Only honest citizens obey the law. Wouldn’t that mean only outlaws have guns? You know, those same people who smuggle hundreds of tons of illegal drugs into California each year more or less unimpeded by law enforcement? Couldn’t they just also smuggle a couple of tons of guns from Mexico each year as well? Uh, yes. Why I believe they will.
