FBI Washington field office just confirmed gunman was NOT armed with AR15. Spokesperson says 1 shotgun and 2 pistols recovered— Pamela Brown (@PamelaBrownCNN) September 17, 2013
Not that I’ve found. However, this is the type of announcement I don’t see CNN putting out if they had anyway to deny it.
Arthur Daniels does not look white to me.
Guess he took Joe Biden’s advice to heart.
How could they have gotten that fact wrong for an ENTIRE DAY?
No offense intended, but you are an UnAmerican loon!
3:22 Minutes – Description under the video
Navy Yard shooter was NOT armed with AR15, according to FBI

Laughner passed the FBI background check.
Holmes the Batman movie shooter passed the FBI and CBI background check.
The Sandy Hook shooter shot his mom and stole her guns.
Your beloved background checks do not seem to be "keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and crazies" worth a damn. So go pimp gun control at DU or Kos.
MSNBC must be devistated.
Also weapons info in this piece. CNN doesn’t have a stand alone re: no AR-15 and others are continuing to push it. Nothing on the FBI site either.

Someone should let ‘sports writer turned expert in all things’ Mike Lupica know... he’s going full bore:

I don’t believe anything that comes out of Obama’s FBI.
Oh, yeah...what about Benghazi?
CNN is now inventing guns on air. Great .
Mike looks a little light in the loafers to me.
Yes, and the fact that he wasn’t white as well.
Doesn’t matter, whatever firearm was used, that is the firearm that the gun grabbers are gonna place in their crosshairs and try to pass unconstitutional, basic right violating laws against in order to save the world for the children.
In this case, it looks like we are gonna have calls for shotgun and pistol control from statist Democrats with complacent, and in some cases complicit, cooperation from statist Republicans.
Thanks for the link. Still CNN Pamela Brown citing unnamed “law enforcement sources”.
While I admire the way you think that's a bit impractical for a number of reasons. In most, even 99% of cases, the issued weapon is the M16. Only medics (the Navy has corpsmen) and in some cases, aviators, tankers and some officers (staff usually) are issued sidearms with which they have to qualify. It's nearly impossible to lug an M16 around daily especially to the office. Imagine leaving your rifle in the latrine (the navy calls it the Head and civilians call it the bathroom) where any janitor could find it.
I was an officer in an infantry outfit. Guys like me lead the killers in their duties of knocking off the enemy. Don't tell me I don't "need a sidearm!" I was also Executive Officer of the post pistol team (second in command) for a time. Back in those days, when General Dozier was kidnapped over in Italy by terrorists (later executed) my bosses who were the Division Commander and his key staff ordered all division staff OFFICERS to come to work after drawing a sidearm (1911 45acp) and at least two magazines of ball ammo and wear said sidearm under the duty uniform, concealed. When the division HQ building was hit with a bomb threat, they evacuated and then sent all of us LIEUTENANTS back inside to look for the "device!" It sure made me feel special, I'll tell you. Special and decidedly expendable.
