Generally, the anti-gun crowd is out front in these shootings, demanding "assault" weapons be banned and "gun-show loopholes" be immediately closed. So far, there has been very little of that. In fact, the lack of it has been striking.
There has been little discussion (either in the media or by the authorities) concerning what sort of weapon Abdulazeez used, or where he obtained it. Usually, this sort of information is front and center because it gives grist to the anti-gun mill and deflects attention away from the perp to the tool.
Maybe I missed something in the news, but this is mysterious, isn't it? Why is information about the weapon and how the authorities tracked him down and killed him so scarce? Was a genuine automatic assault rifle used? From the looks of the sprayed bullet hole pattern at the mall from a very short range, it seems likely. The fact he quickly gunned down the victims at the Reserve Center leads one to believe it was done quickly.
If he used an real automatic assault rifle, where did he get it? Was it gotten through cartel or ISIS sources? Why are the authorities so quiet about the weapon(s)? If it were simply an ugly black rifle one can buy at WalMart, why is everybody ignoring it? Wouldn't it be front page news?
The silence on this subject is deafening. Does anybody have any good clues here? But perhaps I missed them all in the past wall-to-wall 30 hours of coverage...?
Should we assume they want the religion of peace to be able to have their guns? :>)
I was thinking of that earlier, that guns is normally the first item that gets brought up. Then racism. Then insanity. Then militias. Then the NRA. Then a live report on former Congresswoman whasername.
.....jihadists?....crickets....

Excellent questions!

Ping!
Silence because it’s a Fast & Furious gun?
