GILROY, Calif. (Reuters) - A California teenager was identified by police on Monday as the gunman who killed three people, including two children, at a food festival south of San Francisco. Santino William Legan, 19, cut through a fence at the festival on Sunday evening and shot at people with a AK-47-style assault rifle at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee told reporters. Within a minute of opening fire, Legan was fatally shot by three onsite police officers armed with handguns. It could have gone so much worse so fast, Smithee said, noting the festival, which takes place about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Silicon Valley, Americas tech hub, welcomes thousands of visitors.

So how does a teenager get raised so rotten? This is the real question but the politicians wont even try to discuss it
It is interesting how words have meaning. California has defined assault rifle to a semi-automatic rifle with certain cosmetic features. Washington State has defined an assault rifle to be any rifle that is semi-automatic.
I wonder truly what kind of rifle it was. Probably a semi-automatic rifle that has a California-legal 10 round magazine and that has certain cosmetic features that makes it look somewhat like a MAK-47 or similar former soviet block rifle.
How did you find out it was an
SKS?
(in Latin America) a man of mixed race, especially one having Spanish and indigenous descent.
It was an SKS...Great job, Reuters....Really sharp...........”
Unless you significantly modify an SKS it is not an assault rifle even by the California definition. No pistol grip, no detachable magazine, Magazine limited to 10 rounds or less, no collapsible stock, etc.
I heard that on the radio....
Its a terrible thing to have happen at an event like that or anywhere else

and the Democrats are dancing on the graves of those killed, gleefully chanting that this is further proof that we need to confiscate all guns in our society.
Remember! That gun, regardless of make and model did not kill or harm anyone. The person carrying the gun killed or harmed those people.
As we are now seeing in Britain where the guns are totally banned, that more and more knives and machetes are being used. The problem is not the implement but the person and the ilk that manipulates him (Democrats are evil hateful people)
I was being sarcastic toward Reuters...LOL
OF COURSE!
We need to ban those vampire tv shows and movies!
“My SKS was only $106 when I bought it.”
I took a Chinese made SKS off of a Viet Cong prisoner once.
It didn’t look that well made. That was in early 1970.
Those poor victims, especially the children.
(This is the fifth 18-19 year-old in the national headlines for murdering people this week.)
Specifically that would be a .357 Smith and Wesson Glock rifle....
“teen”
Is he not an adult?
Why not “man”?
I think they are fairly accurate and reliable. I wouldn’t know though because I bought 500 rounds with it (in the mid-90’s) and I still have 460 rounds left.
In other words, this guy is simpatico with the New Zealand gunman.
And CA’s politicians are calling for more gun laws there; or everywhere I guess.
oh
With a high-capacity clip and “cop killer” ammo.
