They did not find the gun. They found some cartridge casings which were for pistol rounds, and from that assumed that the shooter used a pistol. Since there are rifles which shoot pistol calibers, that may an unwarranted assumption.
You also have kits which turn a Glock pistol into a scoped carbine rifle.
I hadn’t heard any of the news. Not that I’m trying to avoid it - LOL!! You mean someone actually left behind casings? And the so called “experts” are calling the shooter a “professional?”
Reminds me of a book I’m reading by Stephen Hunter -ISniper - seems someone took out a Jane Fonda type, a Bill Ayers and wife Bernadine Dohrn type and a liberal comedian type - all from long distances. Sounds like a good idea to me but sadly, it’s only fiction. Of course, it’s a Bob Swagger story (Bob the Nailer)..Anyway - on to the subject:
This came in my email today...from The Patriot Post. Seems what you mentioned is about to be done away with also if the dems get their way...They never miss a trick, do they? We all know how much shooting experience/knowledge these dems have. Why on earth do we elect the congress critters anyway? Why don’t we just pay the people who lobby to get these stupid laws passed? Cut out the middle man - Congress!
“”After 90,000 comments and condemnation from congressional Republicans, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives backed away from its proposal to ban the 5.56 M855 “green tip” ammunition. But congressional Democrats have taken the idea, expanded the breadth of the proposed ammo ban, and run with it. In a letter to the ATF, Democrats encourage the bureau to move fast and use its “existing authority” to limit any rifle cartridge that can be fired from a handgun.””
