Boulder shooting suspect Ahmad Alissa bought assault rifle a week ago

The alleged gunman charged with slaughtering 10 people at a Colorado supermarket bought an assault rifle a week prior to the shooting — and was caught “playing” with it by a family member, according to new court documents.

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol on March 16 — six days before going on a deadly rampage at the King Soopers in Boulder, according to an affidavit unsealed Tuesday.

His sister-in-law, whose name is redacted, told investigators that she saw Alissa, 21, “playing with a gun she thought looked like a ‘machine gun'” in the days prior to the shooting, the court papers say.

“Alissa had been talking about having a bullet stuck in the gun and was playing with the gun,” the affidavit reads.

The document notes that the sister-in-law — who was tracked down by detectives at Alissa’s home on Monday night — was “hesitant to mention” what she’d seen.

He bought an ass-salt rifle? Did he get the tax stamp for it? Class III from:

Go ahead, tell me he used his Democrat stimulus money to buy it, and the ammo too.

Convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh wins standing ovation at Chicago conference Washington Times ^ | 04/03/2017 | By Valerie Richardson Posted on 4/3/2017, 11:57:05 AM by Rusty0604

Facing deportation, convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh on Sunday bid a tearful but defiant farewell as she blasted “Zionists” and President Trump in a fiery speech that drew a standing ovation from a pro-Palestinian crowd in Chicago. “We need you to continue resisting Trump’s agenda and to continue challenging the Zionists and to continue providing your solidarity and support to the Palestinian and Arab national movement,” said Odeh, a featured speaker at the leftist Jewish Voice for Peace conference at the Hyatt Regency. Not far away at the same hotel complex, the mood was far more subdued as mourners remembered the two Hebrew University students killed in the 1969 bombing in Tel Aviv, which earned Odeh a decade in an Israeli prison before she was released in a prisoner exchange.

One of the “Women’s March on Washington” and “Day Without a Woman” organizers, is being kicked out of the United States. Rasmea Yousef Odeh failed to disclose on her U.S. visa form 20 years ago that she was convicted of murdering two Israeli students in a supermarket bomb attack and for an attempted bombing of the British Consulate in 1969. After a 10-year prison term, Odeh was freed in a prison swap with Palestinians.

When any of these loser bums do this, it’s proof that we need more concealed carriers out in the population.

Having been around the military for years and guys who got into martial arts....I just can’t think of any who were overweight or hefty. This part of the story sounds pretty fake.

Doesn’t take much to turn a pistol into a mean assault rifle

Well on this one, it seems you only need to slide the butt stock out to make a riffle that looks exactly like a AR-15. But the gun has nothing to do with this, it was the person pulling the trigger that killed. Not the gun, as the msm would have you believe.

“Doesn’t take much to turn a pistol into a mean assault rifle when you spew propaganda for a living”

Seems to me it is more a stubby rifle but with a pistol grip in the common AR 5.56 platform.

For some reason the story does not talk about how many of his victims were White.

[rktman]

DOH! Double tap.

[glimmerman70]

So she happened to see him playing with the gun and immediately knew it was a Ruger 556/223 assault pistol. Not the riffle. She knew it had the 10 inch barrel and not the longer one. She must be really good.

“If it was a pistol it was not a rifle.”

Actually, these AR “pistols” are really just a carbine. I’ve never seen anyone use the “hand brace” for anything but a shoulder stock.

You mean his SYRIAN family? If it werent for 10 dead people I might laugh at that

[Skywise]

Participation awards?

[ScubaDiver]

He bought a $1K Ruger the same week the stimulus money was sent out.

Coincidence? Probably not.

[mylife]

Obamas ATF legalized the “hand brace”
Trump made it illegal, but any doofus could make one.
