A 41-year-old North Bay man with a felony criminal record attempted to assassinate two Vallejo police officers on a coffee break Sunday night, but his modified assault rifle jammed, police officials said Monday.

The officers ultimately chased Adam Powell, who was wearing body armor, out of the Starbucks on Lincoln Road and shot him three time as he continued to fiddle the weapon — shutting down what police said could have been a bloodbath.

I prefer Duck Tape but not on guns unless it is camo to cover the outside of the barrel to prevent barrel flash.

How one fiddle a weapon? Does he place it on his shoulder and shoot with virtuosity?

By the way, I have never fired at anyone with my fiddle. As of yet, I have yet to be shot at for playing.

I get to do quite a bit of traveling with my music. People always are saying "could you play that thing somewhere else".

A short barrel rifle—less than 16”—is not illegal if you buy the $200 SBR stamp; I’m sure this terd scrupulously complied with the law ...
A gas tube that short, it was prolly under=gassed. Wonder if that brainiac even test-fired the little Frankenstein after assembling it.
Contempt for the law by those expected to enforce the law breeds contempt for the laws.

Here’s the full size picture of the weapon he attempted to use: http://www.trbimg.com/img-580533ee/turbine/la-1476736191-snap-photo/

Looks like he screwed himself over with whatever the hell that ball of stuff is on the buffer tube as well as falling victim to the idiot magnet that is an unindexed drum magazine.
