Where are they hiding the gun?

That particular weapon is an H&K MP-5k, a 9mm. Similar weapons with folding stocks are available in .223, it takes about 3 seconds to snap on a scope.

I think everyone is being done a disservice with the "one lone white wacky gunman" theory or the "one lone white wacky gunman and his friend Earl who drives the truck" theory.

This could be a well financed, well thought out campaign to instill terror in our nations capital.

If that was their plan, they are succeeding.

I've heard supposedly bright people say, "If it was Al Queda, they would be taking credit". Why, so they would be easier to find and stop? The less people know about what is happening, the more terror. Isn't that what it's all about?

Those same geniuses on TV and here on FR seem to forget that it's part of Al Qaeda's MO to not claim credit for a long time, IF EVER. Even then, they have an indirect way of doing it, probably to help their useful idiot leftist allies say garbage like "well, no one claimed responsibility and there's no proof it was AQ"

TC: That's very good except I would use a backpack scenario. It gives him the ability to stash it if dogs are on him (the weapon is not traceable and not the most important thing to the sniper (his associates are the most important thing).

He still has a side weapon and possibly a few more tricks.

Hopefully, the cops would keep the dogs running so they don't lose the guy rather than everyone "concentrating" on the backpack.
