UPS Shooter Was Armed With Assault Pistol

If this wasn't a real news story, it'd be in the Comedy Zone:



Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Latest on a shooting in San Francisco (all times local):

11:55 a.m.

Authorities say the shooter who opened fire at a San Francisco UPS warehouse was armed with an assault pistol when police found him.

San Francisco Assistant Police Chief Toney Chaplin told reporters that officers found wounded victims and brought them to safety Wednesday. When they found the gunman, he put the weapon to his head and shot himself.

Three people were killed as well as the shooter. Two others were wounded.

"Authorities say . . ." Well, it is Newsom's city, so maybe they did say it. To be fair, if AR means Assault Rifle, then AP must mean Assault Pistol.

Have not seen any details,,

BUTT,, You can buy an AR-15 PISTOL

"any weapon with a barrel less than 16inches, overall length less than 26inch, and no stock"

Put a stock on one and you have a SBR..

It's a wonder that the MSM have not harped about this in the past..

noooooooooooooo....

don't give "them" any ideas. Just when the brace is back again and the going gets good. I also found out with length over 26inches you can put vertical foregrip and is still doesn't count as SBR

True, but this was in CA. Water-guns are illegal.

Missed that,, But this site would suggest it is possible in Kaifornacate,, Read their NON_LEGAL notes.. Not something many would try..

http://www.vcdefense.com/ar-pistols-...-a-legal-note/

If there was one used,, it have to be a Fast-n-Furious toy..

Liberals all over Kalifornia are scratching their heads wondering how someone could be killed with a salt pistol.

Everybody knows that everything in Kali has a "Known to cause cancer" label on it...

When I was a kid there* it was peanut butter, after that... bacon.
Once they started mucking with the periodic table of essential elements I headed down to the recruiting station my senior year in HS to book my ticket outta there.

* Back when SoCal was a very different place from those nutjobs, regarded as anything pretty much north of Santa Barbara.

They could have used a slingshot and they would still be attacking firearms.

Haters are going to hate...that's what they know!
