Was the Canada Parliament Shooter Using a Lever Action .22?

[ltorlo64]

Looking at the picture of the shooter in this article it seems this guy was using a lever action .22, like a Henry rifle. Is that correct?

Suck on that one Feinstein.

Looks more like a Winchester 92 or a clone. Might be pistol caliber though.

Thank god for gun bans!

Can't really tell. Could be a .44 or .30-30 too.

[Gunner1558]

30-30 is very popular there. Must be one of those that didn't get registered, otherwise it wouldn't have hurt anyone!

i thought it was a winchester 94, the local news reported it as a double barrel shotgun. The winchester 94 and the marlin 336 are the most common firearms in this part of Canada. 30-30 is of course the most popular calibre.

I had heard the shotgun reports as well. That rifle is definately not a double barrel shotgun, or any shotgun for that matter.

[Richard Simmons]

Could be both as Winchester makes a Model 9410, lever action in .410 bore.

Most news reporters have trouble with telling a polar bear and penguin apart. I have an idea they saw the underbarrel magazine and figured it had to be a double barrel shotgun.

Come on, guys, anyone can make that mistake.... Hell, I thought it was an over-under Benelli...see?

[imanaknut]

Evening news reported it as a .30 cal.

[Kadmos]

Apparently it's both

Paulson released surveillance video showing Zehaf-Bibeau’s malicious movements after he ambushed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, at Ottawa’s War Memorial, shooting the soldier dead with a 30-30 Winchester lever action shotgun at 9:50 a.m. Wednesday.

Later in same article

Paulson said it took just 1 minute and 20 seconds for Zehaf-Bibeau to get from the War Memorial and into the House of Parliament with his double-barreled shotgun.

I guess Joe Biden's not going to let us have our double barrel shotguns now. He'll tell us to buy a can of mace instead.

[Richard Simmons]

Just a thought but the magazine tube on a 94 can be pretty much flush with the muzzle so a novice might thing it's a double barrel, as in over/under.

I've heard refer to the magazine on a mossberg 590 as the "other barrel".

News said it was a lever action 30-30.

I had a both. .222 Remington and 12 gauge break open when i was 16-17. The gun was a 30-30 from what I've read. Not that you've ever held a gun let alone owned one in your life.

It was a HIGH POWERED ASSAULT RIFLE MILITARY SEMI-AUTOMATIC MACHINEGUN WITH THAT THING THAT GOES UP OVER THE SHOULDER loaded with COP KILLING BULLETS carried in a HIGH CAPACITY BANANA CLIP, all of which was purchased over the INTERNET using the GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE which would not have been a problem if they had UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, MICROSTAMPING and BIOMETRIC LOCKS.












Of course, all this will be solved as soon as the next law is written........

[Krupski]

Sir, that assault weapon is clearly and AR15 or maybe an AK47

You don't know your weapons, do you?

That is clearly an AR-47.

Or wait maybe it's an AK-15?

[ltorlo64]

News said it was a lever action 30-30.

I was wondering about the reports of 20-30 shots being fired by the terrorist, which is why I went with a .22. I think we can apply the rule that the specifics of the first reports are almost always wrong.
