Boston Bombers had Guns. Questions. (Vanity)
Vanity ^ | 4-19-13 | Doomonyou

Posted on 04/19/2013 9:14:29 PM PDT by Doomonyou

The bombers engaged the police in a couple of serious gun battles in the last 24 hours. Not one word about what kind of weapons were used by the terrorists. Fully automatic? Rifles? Pistols? Flintlocks?" Why no word on the type of weapons? Right after Sandy Hook all we heard was all the evils about the nasty AR-15 used. So what's the deal now?

I heard they had “improvised” grenades .... this could be the same as the ‘crude’ pipe bomb type explosives they had.

My personal opinion .... they had no idea the resources that would/could be brought to bear (public input as well) and stayed in the area, thinking they had time to pull some more terrorist acts. They had more explosives and at least one more pressure cooker bomb they lobbed at police.

A mechanic said they drove fancy cars a lot ... seemed to have different ones frequently (Mercedes, Porsche) so that sounds like they were being bankrolled. Who might have LOTS of money ... who was hanging around watching the race (or maybe the crowd) at ‘big boom’ time ... who was acting suspiciously enough to get tackled and held for police? Who is the Obama administration trying to get out of the country FAST and lying about it when this was discovered? One member of the Saudi royal family, that’s who. Hmmmm .... makes one wonder .....

Maybe because the libs in the media already lost the gun control battle, they no longer feel a need to demonize guns...at least for the moment. Remember: most of what the MSM reports—and doesn’t report—is agenda-driven.

I want to know how they acquired guns in the state with some of the toughest gun laws in the Nation.

I think the regulation of pressure cookers is in order. It required two to injure hundreds, and kill three.

The MIT cop was shot.

Now think how bad it would have been if the backpacks had been placed at waist level.

I was watching CNN today and a reporter on the scene said, “Police are rushing down the street with assault type guns.”

Reminds me of a DI, back in the '60's, making the 'cruits, who called their M14 a 'gun,' recite at the top of their lungs this unforgettable dollop of poetry:

"This is my rifle, this is my gun. This one's for shooting, this one's for fun."

Yes money connection and training connection.

The 2 juvenile jihad boys were encouraged, influenced, trained, financed and supported by outsiders to do these acts. Upon interrogation with truth serum and other techniques from our intel agencies the current muzzie will give names of people or cut outs he was approached by from the internet or local muzzie club who don’t exist — phony names and identities of experienced terrorists, rogue government agents who gently handle these psychopaths without too much control on tactics but play on indoctrination or vices. Sheep led to slaughter. Expendable pawns in a larger game.

They were part of of an al qaida cell. This wasn’t two mad dogs on a binge. The rest of this cell needs to be rooted out and destroyed post haste

Apparently, in December 2012, 25 Chechen nationals were smuggled across the Mexican border, I wonder if they shopped at the Holder/Cartel duty free shop?

Are you thinking of this report?

Chechen terrorists probed
The Washington Times

U.S. security officials are investigating a recent intelligence report that a group of 25 Chechen terrorists illegally entered the United States from Mexico in July.

Not sure about the terrorists’ weapons, but listening to the surreal amount of gunfire on the recordings of last night’s gun battle (almost all of which was ineffective from our side, I might add), I wonder if the Feds have many of those 1.6 billion rounds left, or if they’ll have to order some more now.

They shot the MIT policeman while he was on the radio in his car. So they had at least one gun before the encounter.

That's my impression. If they get this guy to talk and he spills some info on some mosques full or weapons and explosives, whats Otrama goona do if that info gets out? (and it will).

The laws they have are not enforced.

The criminals do not obey the laws.

More laws are illogical.

There was a lot of spraying and praying in those gunfights, Was it from the terrorists or from the cops? Do Boston Cops Have M-4s or AR's? I saw many black rifles being carried by cops but what are they?
