That is not a van. It is a pickup truck.

“Dear, the reporter writes that Swanton referred to semi-automatic weapons, which fire a single shot with every pull of the trigger and automatically reload between shots. A double-action wheel gun does essentially the same thing.”
Dear, a DA wheel gun does NOT automatically reload between shots.
“I sincerely doubt that any of the bikers were carrying single-action revolvers.”
The photo I posted was not a single-action. It was an auto-loading revolver.

Well, the article did say the police only found one assault weapon, locked in a car, afterwards.
Sec. 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) an explosive weapon;
(2) a machine gun;
(3) a short-barrel firearm;
(4) a firearm silencer;
(5) knuckles;
(6) armor-piercing ammunition;
(7) a chemical dispensing device;
(8) a zip gun; or
(9) a tire deflation device.
Funny, this is the closest I can find in penal code about illegal weapons. And if you go further above in the chapter, I don't see any definition of 'assault weapon'. Pretty sure they don't exist in Texas.

So far, nothing shoots down your hypothesis. This looks fugly.

Has an ironic tagline, for one thing.

I thought your post was very clear. Stories of Bikers shooting but now
we find that the only firearms were in vehicles. Did I miss anything?
The longer this circus goes on the more it's not looking good for the police.
And even if One biker had a gun, where are the others and justification for the dead...

Don’t post much lately, but I read. I am a little stunned at what passes for a “conservative” any more. This whole deal stinks.

Sure looks like a bunch of biker scum and cops standing around in a parking lot crime scene to me.
I do not see any good hides.
I do not see any good non-shooting spotter positions,
I do not see any E and E routes
I do not see any sound disrupting audio reflectors
I do not see any elevated positions
I do not see any good angle-offs
I do not see any good B/U targets.
I do not see any through and through victims.
I do not see any good ricochet or over-under traps.
I do see at least two yellow sheet covered bodies that would not be first chosen sniper targets from where they fell.
But what do I know???? So it sure looks like a bunch of biker scum and cops standing around in a parking lot crime scene to me

Those who are truly conservative are now branded as tin foil wackos.
The brain washing of America has worked.
As usual, W.B. Yeats comes to mind.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Indeed.

“That insufferable gator needs a nostril enema with that.”
Ever notice how predators in the wild usually have eyes that face forward except in the case of an alligator?
I thought it was odd until I remembered that gators were a throwback to prehistoric times when they were probably the prey.
Just sayin’...

Think about it—there had to be drones taking video of the whole thing. Wonder where those vids are?
To: Crystal Palace East
You also don't see any videos to confirm LEO's story. Or prior arrest records for two thirds of the supposed "scum" arrested and held on $1 million bail. Or anything at all to indicate that anyone but snipers with rifles got the targets.
