Active Shooter Gilroy Ca Garlic Festival

Seems like it is confusing too, folks are listing SKS rifles with "AK Conversion" (basically the detachable magazine) so I am sure that is messing people up.

They’re visually similar to the uneducated. That’s likely the biggest driver. It would be like if someone used an AR18. $10 the media would be calling it an AR15 as they’re visually similar.

I explained to someone that the SKS has more in common visually and arguably functionally with the Garand than an AK-47.

It is being reported he had an apartment in Nevada for a few days before cancelling the contract.

The gist of the report is that he is alleged to have fraudulently established residency.

The amount of planning makes me think this clown had help at least online. To plan circumvent state laws, obtain and provide false documents to break federal law, to case the venue and know he’d need to cut through a fence, etc. Odd that he didn’t wear armor, at least that we know of, but that may have been a suicide not be taken alive thing.

The lack of details on the clown leads me to believe the narrative isn’t what the media wants.

All they see is the wooden furniture and the gas tube over the barrel and say ‘AK-47!’

 

[mikeyp]

already blaming it on "racist white suprmacists" and you know that always comes back on conservatives and gun owners.

Lot of half Iranian white supremacists...

We're slowly but surely morphing into anything semi auto is an assault weapon. They refuse to accept the true definition and wont give us their definition so they can call pretty much anything an AW.

But, what is the definition of an assault weapon?

I would really like to know. Like for realz. I’m truly curious. What is an assault weapon? I need a definition.

 

[Bonesinium]

I just did

a person who vigorously supports their country and is pr a person who loves his or her country and strongly supports it.

What’s wrong with that?

Webster

a person who loves his or her country and strongly supports it. More from Merriam-Webster on patriot.

Nothing. It’s what they list as synonyms.

chauvinist, jingoist, jingo, flag-waver, isolationist, xenophobe

None of those are synonymous with patriot and all often carry negative connotations. Which is the point being made.

Assault "weapon" is made up journo-speak. Assault "rifle" afaik is mag fed, full auto in 30 cal.

I hear what you’re saying. If you look at how google lists them it’s as ‘similar’. Webster also lists those words as ‘related’

you left out the synonyms from google, I wasn't talking about the actual definition part


synonyms: nationalist, loyalist;
chauvinist, jingoist, jingo, flag-waver, isolationist, xenophobe
"a great patriot who had died for his country"


now Webster synonyms = Loyalist


Webster does not list those others.

F Google and their Fascist divisive left leaning bias

No use to further the narrative.

Cant blame racist white people or justify new gun laws.

I do enjoy how lots of shootings start with "two suspects one dead and searching for second" only to magically convert to lone wolf a week later.

Yep. Every time.

(Check surveillance footage. There is none?)

guy in camo must have hidden very well. when he rots they'll find him.

 

[kevin9]

If thats the case then where did the gun go?

Last I saw they recovered a couple mags but no rifle

??? Numerous reports over the last few days have identified the rifle used as a WASR-10 legally bought in Nevada and "illegally" brought into CA. Here's one:

I was just about to say the same thing then saw your post. Incredible.

 

[Picton]

I would guess a big part of that is that CNN largely drives The Narrative, and they've been obsessed with their own Democratic debate this week. All their top stories have been breathless coverage "live from Detroit."
