A better picture has been released. Definitely an AR of some sort.
Immediate Lessons From The LAX Attack By a Lone Suicidal Maniac
Los Angeles, CAWe are quickly learning about suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 who shot up Terminal 3 at LAX Airport.
Ciancia had one of those ugly black guns outlawed in his home jurisdiction of Pennsville, New Jersey and within the not so golden state of California.
We will learn about Ciancia’s frail mental health and how he broke various gun bans and restrictions already in place. Again we learn that gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding who are left defenseless and at the mercy of armed thugs.
Ciancias parents put out a frantic call to police after the troubled lad sent disturbing suicidal texts to his brother.
Assuming he survives his UCLA Hospital stay we will learn a lot more about Ciancias psychiatric failure in some courtroom.
Ciancia suddenly taught us that our airports are still soft targets and that determined thugs can easily defeat the Security Theater Gauntlet posed by the TSA. Imagine what three armed terrorists could have done after they breached the TSA barriers within seconds like Ciancia?
Let me also say that terrorists could even more simply gain access to any airport tarmac quickly and virtually unnoticed to do mayhem to any jet filled with passengers.
We must remember that our jets are not made of bullet or bomb resistant material but soft and light aircraft aluminum. A small truck bomb could kill hundreds on one of our normally filled to capacity planes.
The TSA does little but destroy the employability and lives of people that absent-mindedly leave lawfully owned firearms in their suitcases.
When its suggested that forgetfulness is no excuse we seem to forget our own female family members. Every day they forget and leave expensive lotions and beauty potions in their carryons only to see them confiscated by TSA workers.
The TSA practice of disarming pilots, off duty or retired cops and military members only makes our soft airport targets even more vulnerable.
Overall the TSA is one of the more worthless jobs program ever created. Putting the hard corps unemployed into police style costumes has done nothing to make anyone safe.
The real less here is we will only get more of the same because our brain-dead politicians will never understand nor accept reality.
placing the mag there with a round next to it was a nice added touch for the photo.
Yep. Need to see the side of the lower receiver to see the manufacturers mark to determine who made it.
Looks like a standard m4 profile barrel, mid-length grips, flat-top upper with flip-up irons.
Building something similar for my Daughter right now.
I read/heard somewhere that it was not an AR. I wonder if this was a plant? A note in his pocket had the initials NWO, New World Order?
an AR.....M4 type stock.
Is that a 30 rd mag?
or maybe a 10/30 ?
If my aging eyes are not failing me. Does anyone else notice that the rear flip-up side is in the down position? How does an effective shooter not use his/her sights? Something tells me this whack-o-doddle wasn’t very familiar with the illegal (at least in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia) weapon he was using for this incident.
