The rifle used by the alleged 22-year-old attacker who killed five at Colorado Springs’ Club Q Saturday night was purchased “legally.”

ABC News reported the officials briefed on the investigation into the attack say the attacker “legally purchased” his rifle.

The officials who spoke with ABC News officials also pointed out that the attacker’s “2021 arrest may not have appeared on background checks because the case does not appear to have been adjudicated.”

I thought that would be the case. No straight guy would even know about the club, nor the location.

That was pure speculation. Someone hypothesized that the reporter mixed up “long rifle” and assumed they meant it as a caliber.

He most likely used an AR-15 chambered in .223.

Why would a mass shooter choose to use anything different? Seriously. Think about it.

It's not these weapons are particularly hard to acquire.

“Why would a mass shooter choose to use anything different? Seriously. Think about it.”

But, that assumes he had a logical thought process. He’s a mass murderer, and they don’t have logical thought. You could be right but remember the shooter at the parade in Wisconsin used an “Assault Style “ which was a KelTec Sub 2000, 9mm with 30 round mag sticks.
