Boston Bombers Had One Gun: Ruger 9mm; Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Was Unarmed During Final “Shootout”

The Truth About Guns ^ | 24 April, 2013 | Robert Farago

“Even though the Tsarnaev brothers made a violent dash from police, allegedly tossing homemade bombs as they fled, police told ABC News they so far have recovered only a single, semi-automatic handgun from the two men now accused of carrying off the Boston Marathon bombing . . . Law enforcement sources told ABC News the gun recovered from the scene of the Tsarnaev brothers’ shoot out with police was a Ruger 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. Sources said the gun is in the custody of the Massachusetts State Police lab and that the serial number on the firearm was obliterated.” The revelation means . . .

Only one pistol, and they were too inept to take the pistol from the police officer that they murdered.

[JLS]

Right and he put what in his mouth to shoot himself in the throat so he could not talk? A bow and arrow?

[gaijin]

Why the fuss about guns when they can and evidently DO go right to bombs?

I don’t get it. Or...I DO.

Anyone with half a clue about metallurgy knows you can “raise” the S/N on that firearm without breaking a sweat.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to believe ANYTHING about this whole event.

[onyx]

See?
LOL.

No AR15?
What happened to the BB gun?

[mylife]

So who made up the crap about Jokhar shooting himself in the head?

[bunkerhill7]

Where did they find 9mm ammo? Vermont?

Remember, all this happened in Massachusetts, if someone whispers "gun" they ring bells and blow horns and hide the women and children. Getting an accurate report out of that bunch will be like getting blood from a turnip.

I am no conspiracy theorist, but some of this stuff stinks to high heaven.

It depends how it was obliterated. Use a drill or a grinder, remove enough metal, there will be no trace. You can also "stiple" the surface with a centerpunch, which will obliterate the markings underneath.
