    So the shooter in Virginia Beach had a suppressor on his .45 acp?

    I wonder if it was a legally papered Suppressor. If so that would NOT bode well for other Tax Stamp goodies.

    Reagan said to trust but verify. With Fake news outlets such as CNN (Communist News Network), a better saying is verify then trust.

    Since this is a CNN report, I'll not believe any "facts" until other sources say similar things.

    Since CNN and other fake news networks have a long history of dealing with firearms facts truthfully and correctly, I won't believe anything they say concerning guns.

    They will uphold their Agenda above the Truth.

    Too many people reported hearing shots being fired. Unless he had multiple weapons (highly possible) I doubt his only firearm was suppressed.

    Police Chief stated the first four officers on the scene were able to locate the shooter by the sound of the gunshots so a true suppressor seems unlikely. Also kept referring to “extended mags” so I’m thinking he used a Glock 21.

    I heard an interview with one of the women who survived by barricading themselves in an office. She described the sound as a nail gun. So i believe this fuck did in fact have a suppressor, the craps and media are gonna have a field day with this one. MN recently got suppressor friendly, guess it's time for me to buy a couple before the craps in this state rescind the law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Nm3yIgclE

    At least they're still blaming the nra but letting white conservative males off the hook.

    The chief confirmed that a .45 caliber pistol, a supressor and several empty, higher-capacity magazines were found
    What the heck is a "higher capacity magazine" for a .45?

    Did the guy have a big stick mag hanging out the bottom of a 1911?

    8 rounds vs the original 7?

    Yup. That 8th round is a killer. That's why some states limit a mag capacity to 7 rounds. They know that 8th one is just too dangerous.

    Yep, and all of a sudden the next on the hit list shows up at a mass shooting

    Dayton Shooter Used AR with Arm Brace and Drum. Prepare for Bans!
    https://www.tacticalshit.com/dayton-...pare-for-bans/
    During a news conference on Sunday, Dayton’s Police Chief Richard Biehl showed for the first time the weapon that Conner Betts used during his deadly rampage.
    ..........
    AR-15 style firearms can be rifles or pistols. A pistol can have a short barrel, but no shoulder stock. A rifle can have a shoulder stock, but the barrel must be 16 inches or longer.
    Enter the pistol brace, also known as a stabilizing brace. For all practical purposes, this device allows pistols with short barrels to have something resembling a shoulder stock
    ..........
    Man trying to find an article without unblocking ads is getting harder
    I did see one with a photo of some black people weeping over someone
    I haven't seen anything indicating race was a motive for Dayton
    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe
