Santa Monica Shooter Built His Own AR

[SigDog]

Just saw on Fox News Channel that they are saying that the Santa Monica shooter used parts to build his AR to "skirt California gun laws".
Gives the anti's ammo against us buying stripped receivers and building our own.

I suggested when I first heard about it happening that he must not have had a CA-compliant rifle.

I still find it curious that, when his "tools" were laid out for the obligatory "arsenal picture", the lower was not in the shot.

EDIT: I now see where they say he had a spare upper assembly, so it may be that they chose not to display the full rifle at all. Either way, it seems they didn't want to show there was a non-CA-compliant rifle there

Since when did they need factual information? The anti's will make up stuff if needed.

what it should prove is no matter how many gun laws there are CRIMINALS will find a way to circumvent/break them! And do bad things! but libs and anti's will never see this.

What if it turns out to be an unregistered SBR? Would it shock people to know that you can... GASP... BREAK THE LAW if you do desire? Especially with the intent to murder people?

I will NEVER understand why people get so caught up in this BS. Maybe I'm desensitized to it by now... I've grown up with this crap in the news my whole life. The people that do these things don't care one freaking bit about any law.

Wait......you're saying criminals won't care about new laws?

What we need to do is make a law that requires criminals to care about laws. VOILA!

I'm a problem solver.

You mean he broke the law?
Shut the front door!

Apparently they found bomb making materials in his house 7 years earlier.

But upon further investigation he was just trying to learn to use a pressure cooker to make some hallal dishes for a Ramadan feast, so they put him on the "do not offend investigate" list.

We need background checks on criminals who want to purchase parts and tools to make AR's

Now we'll see a total ban on upper receiver vise blocks, barrel nuts, and torque wrenches.

Or a 50 percent tax on Delta Ring sets, gas tubes and roll pins.

There's going to be a run on AR parts and tooling.

Gotta go. Midway USA is calling my name.

Wait! The hoarding already took place.

CRAP!

Just one more piece of evidence laws don't matter to criminals. This is what needs to be hammered again and again when the antis start whining. None of these laws ever prevent this kind of thing. Yet the antis stick to their script of more, more, more.

Lol right!

If only diane feinstein had been there to tell him thats illegal, then he woulda stopped.

The Hair has spoken, go now in peace.

 

[jessebogan]

Well isn't that tid bit of info oh-so- convienent for the antis?? Imagine that , just when it might benefit "them" well golly, there it is. Excuse me, I gotta go roll up my pants legs, the river of Bravo Sierra is rising again.

he bought an 80% lower. people need to wake up to the fact that if someone wants to get a gun, there's no way to stop them. stricter laws do nothing but hurt the common law-abiding citizen

In Zawahri's bedroom, investigations found illegal zip guns, Seabrooks said. They also found ample evidence of his fascination with weapons, including four replica airsoft pellet guns, knives and gun magazines, said Sgt. Richard Lewis. Investigators also found materials that indicate he likely assembled the weapon.

Police said Zawahri bought a lower receiver that was only 80 percent complete. Because it is not complete and not considered a full weapon, a person isn't required to go through a background check to get one, nor does the part need to have a serial number.

Though Zawahri fired about 100 rounds during the rampage, police said he was carrying 1,300 rounds of ammunition in magazines that were capable of holding 30 rounds each. Such high-capacity magazines are illegal to purchase, sell or transfer in California. Possession is not illegal. He also had a spare upper receiver and the antique revolver with him in a duffel bag.

[Justin B.C.]

Zip guns usually refer to improvised firearms.
