From the UK Daily Mirror:

He was armed with two weapons resembling AK-47s and at least one handgun, and there were fears the car was rigged with explosives, Le Soleil reported.

They probably have some laying around at your local mosque.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Is your question about legally acquiring an AK-47?
Because jihadists don’t pay attention to gun laws.
France has strict gun control laws and the jihadists there were using full-auto AK’s that are not even legal in the US.
I’m pretty sure explosives are illegal as well.

[butlerweave]

Modified SKS,they’re not restricted and only a couple of hundred dollars

“He was armed with two weapons resembling AK-47s...”

Most “journalists” would not know the difference between an AK and a lever action Winchester.

Come across the river into Maine buy one and head north back across the river.

Simple.

How difficult is it for someone in Canada to have an AK-47 or similar rifle in his possession? I was under the impression that it was basically impossible. Ask Obama's thug former Attorney General, Eric Holder. He can give you a run down on how that works.

There does not seem to be an “alleged suspect” for the mosque shooting. From what I have read, they have a defendant who has allegedly confessed to the shooting.

Same place Chicago thugs get their guns....... Indiana.

Canadian gun laws are ridiculously complicated, but if I'm understanding them correctly, AK-47's are "prohibited weapons," which means you aren't legally allowed to own one unless perhaps you owned it before the law was passed.

Oddly, AR-15s are "restricted weapons," meaning that you can own one if you can convince the government to issue you a permit. Only 5 round magazines allowed, though, I think.

[Antioch]

You are correct. If it was a AK-47, it would have been an illegal purchase as no AK or variant (with the exception of the Chi-com Type 81) can be legally purchased here in Canada. Now, since we’re living in liberal hell and everything from a pellet gun on up is an AK-47, we’ll have to attend the actual press conference where the police will no doubt hold the thing proudly by the trigger guard while sweeping the press gallery and denouncing Trump.

[TigersEye]

ATF operation Slow and Bucolic?

[humblegunner]

I got mine at a gun show.
They have ‘em at gun shops too.

Don’t know about Canada though.

I love mine, it’s awesome. Got it for $450, spent $150 on upgrades.

They are more costly these days though.

It is easy if you are criminal, just dial them digits!

No 2nd Amendment for you, Canada, Eh?

I know that AK-47s are not legal in Canada. However, I believe the Czech VZ-58, which superficially resembles the AK, and fires the same round, is legal there.

[smokingfrog]

I was wondering about this, because none of the earlier reports seemed to mention what kind of weapons were used. I know it’s probably not to difficult to own a hunting rifle in CA, but what about anything semi-auto?

[Cobra64]

I could put one in my car and drive across the border.

[SouthernerFromTheNorth]

Terrorists and criminals don’t follow gun laws. They could be ordered online easily, or smuggled in, or perhaps manufactured illegally.

Banning guns don’t stop criminals.
