So, 2 semiauto pistols and 11 mags all legally purchased apparently and California compliant.

Yup, time to ban everyone's scary-looking black "assault" rifles.

I believe the rental truck and fertilizer used by McVeigh were all legal too.

11 magazines? Sounds like an avid reader. I didn’t even realize their were that many magazines in print these days. Most have gone digital.

They were “semiauto”. He forced the MSM to repeat a scary buzz-word. Clearly, we need to ban white males. /s

One curious side-story came up from a previous girlfriend (from a decade ago it appears), and she described him as a nutcase. Will be interesting to see if he was like the Vegas shooter, and on medication of some type.

5 authors? I guess they needed all 5 to increase the odds of someone knowing a magazine vs a clip.

The headline has been dishonestly crafted to push the real ruling class policy priority narrative, to ban private ownership of all semi-automatic firearms.

They showed their hand on this during the 2016 Presidential Primary debates.

Now, that sort of makes sense. But he must not be that bright. Didn’t he know that no purchase is necessary?

There is violence each and every day in this country, from Chicago, to Atlanta, to New Orleans and now San Jose. The cause of this violence is not medication, but that we have too many violent thugs.

People are aware of our society medicating thousands of young people for “behavioral problems” when they are in elementary schools and higher. A LARGE number of those folks become permanent customers for the legal drug pushers(aka doctors, shrinks, etc). The majority of mass shootings are performed by the above group.

On a personal note. A friend, late 50’s, got talked into taking “antidepressants”. After 6 months on said meds, he went home one day and killed his wife and then killed himself. He was NOT suicidal prior to getting medicated.

They will beat this one to death because the shooter was white. Black shooters don’t get this scrutiny. It is usually blamed on some unfortunate circumstance of their life due to systemic racism.

Uhh, this is the FriscoChronicle. If they can’t put a commie spin on anything (e.g., sunrise) no one can. Might as well be Pravda. I’m serious, Pravda.
When we first moved into the Frisco area 30+ years ago we got a subscription to the SFC. About ten years ago it was worth about as much as.....well, I was gonna refer to toidy paper.
Finally got wife to agree to cancel. Their “subscription recovery manager” (i.e., think some poor sucker tasked with convincing rats to reboard a sinking ship) called me and asked why. I replied: “Because your paper is nothing, absolutely nothing other than adverts and propaganda. He hung up on me! The nerve! It did feel good, tho. Hope I made his day even worse.
