So, That's How the Old Dominion University Terrorist Was Able to Obtain a Firearm

The Old Dominion University shooter was serving a long jail sentence for providing material support to ISIS, but was released early, thanks to Joe Biden. How did he get a gun to carry out this attack? Not that criminals follow the law, but we know how Mohamed Jalloh obtained a firearm for this terrorist attack that left a decorated war hero, Lt. Col. Robert Shah, who was also the head of the school’s ROTC program, dead (via Associated Press):

The man charged by DOJ for selling the gun used by the ODU terrorist was caught straw purchasing three guns in 2021 (all of which were later recovered at crime scenes, including a homicide) but the Biden DOJ declined to prosecute. He got a warning & signed an apology letter.

Joe Biden and his DOJ declined to prosecute a guy who was caught doing straw purchases 3 times.

A few years later, he was the one who just sold a gun to an ISIS terrorist.

The Justice Department on Friday charged a man who authorities say sold a gun to the Old Dominion University shooter despite the gunman’s previous conviction in a terrorism case. 

Kenya Chapman is facing federal charges in connection to the sale of the weapon to Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Army National Guard member who yelled “Allahu akbar” before he opened fire in a classroom at the Virginia school on Thursday, according to authorities. One person was killed and two others were injured in the shooting. 

Jalloh, a former Army National Guard member, was barred from possessing a gun after pleading guilty in 2016 to attempting to aid the Islamic State extremist group. 

According to the affidavit released Friday, the shooting happened in a “class/meeting” attended by active duty servicemembers and ROTC students. Jalloh twice asked those in the room to confirm that it was an ROTC event before he began to shoot, the document says. Jalloh was taking online classes at the university at the time of the shooting, the filing said. 

[…] 

Chapman told agents he had no idea Jalloh would commit the attack, the affidavit says. He is charged with making a false statement during a firearm purchase and engaging in the business of firearms dealing without a license. 

Chapman told agents in an interview that he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year before the shooting and recently sold it to Jalloh. Chapman said he met Jalloh at work and that Jalloh told him he needed the gun for protection as a delivery driver, according to court papers. 

[…] 

The gun’s serial number was partially obliterated, complicating authorities’ efforts to trace the gun. But authorities ultimately found Chapman through phone records showing multiple calls between him and Jalloh in the week prior to the shooting, according to the affidavit. 

Throw the book at Chapman. 

Two others were injured before a horde of unarmed students bravely confronted this madman and killed him. Jalloh was reportedly stabbed to death by an ROTC candidate, but the fact remains—he was killed by a group of patriots with their bare hands. 

Also, Democrats, what transpired here is already against the law, so spare us any more gun control lectures. You people have looked like idiots the past few days.

The hero students neutralized an armed perp with their bare hands.

Why is this not being reported anywhere?

Sorry firearms are available and should be to any one who wants one. Being in jail for a crime and let out early is typical commie crap. buying and selling a tool for self defense is a god given right.

Likely because the left does not want us to know that we can successfully fight back against islamic domination.

The only “firearms law” we need is the 2nd ammendment.

I would imagine that person wouldn’t want to be identified for personal security reasons.

“I believe they stabbed him to death.”

Obvious case of self defense. If I knew what kind of knife it was, I’d buy one.

The firearm used has been reported to be a Glock 44 .22 caliber pistol. Glock 44 pistols use 10 round magazines.

The murderer killed one man and critically wounded another.

Do not underestimate the power of the lowly .22 rimfire.

“Biden DOJ declined to prosecute. He got a warning & signed an apology letter.”

Unbelievable
