Police have confirmed a legally purchased 9mm handgun was used by the attacker in Wednesday’s University of Nevada, Las Vegas, mass shooting.

CNN noted that Las Vegas Metro Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill indicated the handgun, a Taurus PT92 pistol, was purchased legally by the 67-year-old suspect in Las Vegas roughly 18 months ago.

When law enforcement indicates a firearm was purchased legally, they are indicating it was purchased at retail via a background check.

Las Vegas can stop this stuff if they just put Bigger Signs up letting people know it is a Gun Free Zone.

...and multiple languages. No one is safe in a Gun Free Zone if the shooter doesn't read English.

I am reminded of the old Quincy M.E. in which someone bought a .25 cal Saturday Night Special, it escaped the buyer by a burglary and went on a killing spree.
Quincy yells...’WE’VE GOT TO STOP “IT” BEFORE “IT” KILLS AGAIN!’

Same plot was also used on the Streets of San Francisco till they caught the .25 and melted it down into a sewer cover.

And the TV watching public were supposed to agree with this nonsense.

If you are relieved because the perp didn't use an AR-15: America's Gun™, you shouldn't be.

The Dems have finally abandoned their crusade against "scary looking guns", and are now openly talking about all semi-autos, and in all likelihood they will get it within the next decade.

LOL! My wife and I joke all the time about Quincy. "Sam, are you telling me that there are no laws to prevent [insert liberal cause du jour here]?"
