Not single shot shotguns and muskets?

[hadaclueonce]

found in a locked car after the shooting

Pesky weapons have the ability to be real sneaky...ATF told me that.

"First came a few pistol shots, several witnesses said, then a barrage of rifle fire..."

“assault weapon, a semi-automatic gun that fires high-powered ammunition” Interesting given actual assault weapons fire what is considered to be marginally acceptable (low power) ammunition, ostensibly to allow a higher rate of fire and lower ammunition weight burden. But, what do I know compared to the omniscient press? You know the ones who know everything unless it is about a left wing or muslim person. Then, that information is, well, not important.

[null and void]

Hmmmm. The police were unable to find any semiautomatic weapons amongst the bikers?

Then who had them?

JBT Ping list

I haven’t kept up with everything about this incident, but has it been confirmed or debunked that ATF and/or other Feds were present?

If they were, wouldn’t they have been the ones in charge and calling the shots? (pun intended)

[Wolfie]

Don’t be too hard on the cops, they might stop doing their jobs.

[DaxtonBrown]

Lucy! You have some ‘splainin to do!

[spokeshave]

On a thread after the incident it was reported that all of the diceased were shot by the police....head shots all

Suprise, suprise, suprise...

“I heard, ‘pop, pop,' small caliber, and then a rapid succession of shots from what sounded to me like an assault rifle,” said William English, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran who was approaching the front door of the Twin Peaks restaurant for a meeting of biker clubs."

He probably has more expertise regarding the sound an AR makes than the average New York Times reporter.

Biker Gangs ...AKA... Drug Cartels.. are well armed.. with illegal and legal weapons..
Legal being how connected your lawyer is.. to official Judges.. and politicians..

“Witnesses: Semi-automatic gunfire dominated biker shootout in Waco”

Indeed. Because only police have semi-automatic firearms; no doubt the bikers were only using single-shot muzzle loaders.

hmmm. Source is Distorted MC biker.

And we know which lying lawyer represents the Distorted members here:

"Jennifer Cicolani of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives noted that a semi-automatic gun can shoot more bullets in less time than a small-caliber weapon."

Huh?

[libstripper]

The term “semi-auto” would apply to most of the pistols and rifles involved.

[Finny]

Note the credibility of the folks quoted word-for-word who differtiate between the sound of assault rifles, and small caliber, and those who apparently think "high caliber" is the same as semi-auto while "small caliber" might be an official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle, who the hell knows? The reporter I'll bet doesn't.

[Swanton] confirmed that some officers carry semi-automatic weapons, which fire a single shot with every pull of the trigger and automatically reload between shots.

Well ... yeah, sure, Dad! ... Duh! Just like a double-action revolver. Hello??? I'm supposed to believe that among 170 red-blooded Texans with legal carry permits, there wouldn't be a few? So ... Swanton's point is ... ? That he's a dolt? The journalist is looking smart by comparison, and the journalist has all the inquisitive comprehension of a dairy cow

Six witnesses interviewed by the AP describe a melee that began with a few pistol shots but was dominated by semi-automatic gunfire.

Wha ...? Huh?

And by the way, Crystal Palace, check your tagline. You're stepping on it.

Think about it—there had to be drones taking video of the whole thing. Wonder where those vids are?
