“The ATF says he bought them at a gun store, legally, in the last few weeks. There goes the automatic weapons meme.”
Omar could have had that gun illegally converted to full auto in no time flat. I still think that’s the most likely explanation for how he managed to shoot so many people, so fast.
Have you never shot an AR-15? A decent rifleman can fire one rapidly.
But that isn't the point. HE SHOT SO MANY PEOPLE SO FAST BECAUSE THEY WERE PACKED INTO A CROWD. He probably got 2 people for every bullet. At least.
And by the way, regardless of what criminals do, I am keeping my AR-15's. Mine have never killed anything but paper and animals.
