How did Cruz get the AR?

Posted on 02/18/2018 1:03:02 PM PST by Trailerpark Badass

I've heard he took it from a friend's father's gun safe. Haven't heard anything definitive. Anyone know?

I'm perfectly lightened up. The fact remains it was an unnecessary vanity.

Made a legal purchase. The store owner has shut down because of it and is selling his business. Again it’s like having some woman in the next town over getting her tubes tied so your wife/GF won’t get pregnant.

fbi let him have.
Then the FBI/DNC could press for increased gun control.

He had the gun safe when he move in to the house that took him in...the guy who took him in also had a gun safe..

Must have bought the guns when the mom was alive....

The guy who took him in made Cruz give him the key to the safe..

but he must of had an extra..

He went to the store, filled out the background check paperwork, paid for the gun and took it home with him legally.
If there was anything that was faulty, it was the FBI not following up on things brought to their attention.

Thanks, everyone. I got the straight story, quickly, from people here. A great resource, which kept me from propagating false info in another online discussion. And I only annoyed one poster!

Yup.

If this guy passes a background check, how many people fail them? Seriously does anyone NOT get an AR?

Here's some insight.

Fla. shooting suspect had a history of explosive anger, depression, killing animals
The Washington Post
By Kevin Sullivan, William Wan and Julie Tate
February 15, 2018
Cruz started throwing eggs at Speno’s car with no warning, Speno recalled. He and a friend chased Cruz back to his house. "We were pissed off, so we knocked on the door and his mom came out," Speno said. When the two told her what happened, Cruz’s mom had a strange reaction. "She said, ‘No, my son would never do that. He’s inside sleeping,’ " Speno recalled.


Deputies called to suspected shooter’s home 39 times over seven years

If the behavior or neural problem of a young man is protected enough by his mother and some locals cooperating with her, he might not have a record to stop him from getting a firearm. According to at least one article, a neighbor said that broken furniture was being put on the curb about once per month on average.

He was known locally for often throwing fits for no apparent reason and breaking things. He committed quite a few crimes against neighbors including theft and destruction of property. The monster was locally made in a neighborhood that leans far to the social left.

“They made Cruz buy a locking gun safe to put in his room the day he moved in. Cruz had a handful of guns, including the AR-15 and two other rifles that Snead said would be considered assault rifles. Cruz, a hunter, also had knives, BB guns and pellet guns.

Snead thought he had the only key to the cabinet but has figured out Cruz must have kept a key for himself. The family kept their own rifles, bought after a burglary a couple of years ago, in a separate locked cabinet.

They told Cruz he needed to ask permission to take out the guns. He had asked only twice since November. They said “yes” once and “no” once.”

And protected by the school, apparently. Was this the same school system Trayvon Martin was coddled by?

The Russians gave it to him because Trump asked Putin to do so.

Then there was some collision involved?

Who hit who anyway??
