The guy tried to blow up a building but their worried about a gun he owned?
I own one of those btw. Fun little guns.
His citizenship proved easy to get as well. We really need to give all Muslim immigrant citizenship applicants a hard second look.
I bet his mortgage that he never paid a dime on was even easier to obtain
A rifle that uses pistol ammo just makes it a crappy rifle...
I have a marlin campground rifle that takes 9mm pistol ammo, and it also takes the stock S&W clip. In my case the S&W magazine was what made it attractive to me since I also have the pistol, but it’d not s great rifle...
The NYT never misses a chance to propagandize against the right to own a gun.
Oooh...scary gun alert!
The guy was an American citizen at the time he purchased that gun, and had every right to own it.
Now, whether he should have ever been granted American citizenship is another argument, entirely.
“Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office has released data showing that suspects on the terror watch lists were able to buy guns and explosives from licensed dealers in the United States more than 1,100 times from 2004 to 2010. Such a statistic seems irrelevant in Mr. Shahzad’s case, as he was on no such list in March.”
People on the Department of Homeland Security terrorist watch list can be identified by their characteristic anti-abortion bumper stickers, “God Bless America” decals, and the presence of chewing tobacco drool on their facial hair.
As many of you probably know already, this is standard operating procedure according to the AQ manual: get at least one gun. It should be legal.
*Suspects Gun Proved Easy to Obtain (barf alert!)*
Yeah and so was the SUV and the gasoline, propane, and firecrackers, etc!
Police Commissioner Kelly is a good match with Janet Incompetano.
Is there NO ONE who takes Homeland Security seriously. It seems all a game to get more more more tax dollars into the system.
We are at the point now where it’s HOMELAND INSECURITY.
Too many lamebrains on the force instead of a few good men.
Just goes to show ya - registered democrats shouldn’t own guns ...
He probably bought the gun after he lost his house to foreclosure because of Bush administration policies that wrecked the economy!!!
So, is the author saying he would have been happier if Faisal had bought this Kel-Tec model instead?
It doesn't use that dreaded 'pistol ammunition', honest!
That looks like a folding barrel, not a folding stock as per the article!
No way to shoot that sucker when it’s folded up!
Morons. Morons who have never touched a firearm. There have been rifles that shoot pistol cartridges for more than 100 years.
We are two Americas: urban and rural/suburban. Everything else falls along those lines. Most urban dwellers have never touched a firearm, and most fear them, and most think the "only ones" who should have guns are the police.
Is it automatic? If not , what’s the big deal?
“with multiple extra clips. “
Poorly written in the first place and OBVIOUSLY by two dolts who have no clue about guns. Typical slimes.
