Omaha Mall Shooter Rifle Pictures Show Ordinary SKS
Pictures from KPTM Fox 42: Omaha ^ | 8 December, 2007 | Marktwain

Posted on 12/08/2007 6:58:18 AM PST by marktwain

It appears that we have positive identification of the rifle used in the Omaha Mall shooting. The pictures from Fox 42: Omaha show an ordinary SKS rifle with a fixed 10 round magazine. The same rifle that millions of people in the United States own for hunting and plinking. It is an acceptable deer rifle for most of the country.

There have been many reports of "assault rifle" used in the MSM, and reports of 30 round magazines. It appears that all of these reports are false, probably intended to stir up anti-gun sentiment before the election.

I don’t see what you see in this picture of him in the mall.

I see an arm, a roll of sweatshirt, and probably the shirt he used to hide the gun in hanging from his right hand.

Clearly an SKS

Everyone else seems to be looking at your rifle. Nice buck, by the way.

It needs to be turned into an anti-psychotic drugs campaign.

I forget the name of the drug, but there is a commercial for one anti depressant that states

"You may have experience depression,If while taking (brand here) you have thoughts of suicide, tell your doctor"

Local news talked to a buddy of his; he said that he was on meds. I saw that posted on another thread, so I didn’t hear it first hand.

On one TV stations the other night, and I apologize that I don’t know which one it was, they actually showed a picture of side-folding stock AK 47 variant and said this was the murder weapon.

MSM is always going to describe any firearm used in an improper manner as an "assault" rifle. The pro-firearm community is then forced on the defensive frantically struggling to point out the truth. What the MSM will not do is ever blame the piece of trash who committed the murders with firearms, or point out that one honest armed shooter in close proximity to the murderer bastard could have ended his murderous career quickly and decisively. The MSM will always humanize the piece of trash by giving its name and the sad details of its horrible life.

Kudos to John Gibson who, on his Fox show yesterday, refused to name the piece of garbage murderer. Apparently Gibson also refused to name the garbage on Thursday as well. I watched enough of limp wrist Shepherd Smith at 7:00 PM to see that he was not only going to name the murderer, but give the "sad" details of his "horrible" life. As an aside, ever since Smith stood outside the stadium in N.O. spreading the left wing lies about the circumstances there I have had no respect for him.

“Somebody pulled a “switcheroo”?

(The OPD just added an AK into their collection?)”

Something is not right. The surveillance pictures from the mall appear to show a different rifle than the one identified as being found next to the body in the Fox 42 news story.

Does any one have a contact with Fox 42 in Omaha to get an explanation?

That information came from a member of the family with whom he was living.

The front sight block in the mall photo definitely looks like an AK.

“It is also somewhat sexist, where are the hysterical men??”

When a tragedy of this sort occurs, women (generally) break down and weep; men (generally) want to lynch the perp.

Not the gun pictured above, unless he bought the after market modification for the detachable magazine the rifle pictured up top has the fixed 10 round when you buy them. Under his right arm you can just make out the shape of the 30 round magazine hanging from the one in the gun, also I don't see the bayonet on this picture. He may have taken it off to help conceal it, but like one the of the posts says above, when your at the muzzle end of the thing who cares which make it is?
