My buddy called them out and they changed the picture. Claimed it was an oversight.

A lot of oversight going on in the media these days. Just like the NYTIMES said they "forgot" to publish a copy of the Declaration of Independence in the July 4th edition for the first time in over a hundred years.

Ok so what is the consensus on what he used? They said it’s a Smith and Wesson so about all they’ve got is an M&P 15 right? Do they even have other offerings?

Probably a 38 special revolver.

Probably a 38 special revolver.

I don’t know of anything else they have after the M&P 15 do you?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I don’t know of anything else they have after the M&P 15 do you?

No, I'm pretty sure that's the only AR-type rifle that they offer. They make it in 5.56 and 308 versions.

Oh didn’t realize they offered an AR-10 similar version. The M&P is a fairly “economical” variant as compared to the Daniel Defense rifles from Uvalde.

Either that or at least he would have been far less effective.

That is what I always find to be hilarious about the claims about "he could use a knife" or "he could use a hand gun." In a scenario like this one, none of those is going to kill nearly as quickly as an assault rifle.

What about a pressure cooker filled with nails?

What about a pressure cooker filled with nails?

Or a rental truck loaded with fertilizer and diesel fuel.

Or hell just a rental truck… or Ford Escape.

The least number of shots I have heard so far is 70, but this said 83.

You think a guy with a handgun could have gotten off 70-83 shots from the roof in that timeframe?

Good grief.

Stop talking about firearms. You have Absolutely No Clue what you are talking about.

 

[Zues1]

WTH.... hahaha

 

[utvolpj]

The ones at public events like this, with no rational motive, do. Uvalde. Pulse. Boston. This one. And in and on.

The overall data proves you wrong. You're simply trying to slice that data to prove a very narrow point

If you torture data long enough, it will confess to anything

What’s the rational motive for non AR shootings?

Not everyone wants to drop $2k on a DD like some mentally deranged guy working at Wendy’s who was able to buy 2.

What, did you know them?

Know who?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Dem idiots once again are incorrect with their scare tactics.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Here's the weapon the shooter admitted to using during the parade shooting

So KelTec is their own company. The LEAs have said the shooting weapon was a Smith and Wesson.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Neither gun are AR's and both are chambered to hold pistol rounds. They are semi automatic. But once again idiots jump on the scare tactic train.

So no. The M&P 15 shoots .223/5.56 and is basically an AR-15. The KelTec is a completely different animal.

Yeah. I had read that it shot pistol style rounds. But that part was wrong

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So KelTec is their own company. The LEAs have said the shooting weapon was a Smith and Wesson.

The KelTec was recovered from his car, apparently this was his backup gun. I've read where the shooter left the MP at the first spot in Illinois accidently because it fell out of his back, but he had planned on driving to Wisconsin to do a second attack. So the KelTec would've been used in the second one.

Impossible.

Can’t use a handgun in a mass shooting.

The replies in the tweet are great " looks homemade" etc

To be fair, a lot of Keltec firearms do look like something made in a person's garage.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I'm confused. An S&W M&P was not listed in the list of legally acquired guns this idiot had purchased. If that's truly what he used, he acquired it illegally.

Would someone explain how making more laws will keep an insane person from acquiring a gun illegally?

Um it’s not hard to get off 70 rounds with a Glock
