The alleged gunman charged with slaughtering 10 people at a Colorado supermarket bought a gun 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 firearm 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.

Must have gotten his BIDEN bucks.
He must have bowt it on the interweb in a gun show loophole.
If Ahmad was never arrested before, he could pass background checks all day long. A Muslim name will not flunk background check. Domestic violence of any sorts will if cops were called.
“Stimulus” check purchase.
Where did he get the ammo? 5.56 is impossible to find around here.
L
I want one now. I want the one in 300 blackout.
And the FBI was familiar with this guy too..so good ol reliable FBI strikes again..I guess they would have been on top of things had this Jihadist worn a fur coat on his head and screamed this is maga country
Perhaps the FBI?
.223 would work.
He had a couple of charges. But were not felonies. So yeah he passed a background check. May have had to wait the 3 days if he didn’t if no concealed. If he ordered the gun and had to wait a week for it to come in, I don’t know if that counted towards his 3 days. He somehow found ammo either before or after he got the gun. I wonder if he had other guns. I heard he had 2 guns but only heard it one time from the media. If he drove there did they find anything in his car.
Whoever he bought the gun from probably threw in a few boxes.
Push Democrats to pass a law for drug tests before firearms transfers, and watch them choke on it. Democrats represent the interests of criminals and terrorists.
I think that's the point they're making.
They don't have much of an impact on your garden variety murderers/criminals either as they are not likely to acquire a gun through legal channels.
He was born in Syria. Was he a citizen
Pretty good shot for somebody who only owned a firearm for a week, yes?
Doesn’t have to be a citizen, perm residence is all you need for a 4472 form and refugees are all nearly 100% given perm residence as a matter of course in being a refuge we NEVER send them home. So likely he was a green card holder and with no prior felony or domestic violence convictions able to pass form 4472.
as I said on the other thread going around, the fibbers perhaps WANTED him to escalate....probed him...
