Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Fox reported that the LA times said LE sources said the shooter was a TSA agent. They are now reporting that the shooter was a ticketed passenger and has no connection with TSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 All I know is it couldn't possibly have been an assault rifle. That would be illegal. I'm sure they're working on a law to fix this as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I did find out that LAWA stands for Los Angeles World Airport. I did not know that. Still haven't seen a pic of the assault rifle. The media is, as usual, going insane. I'm going to cut some firewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Saw a picture of the rifle. Although it's pretty indistinct picture, the rifle looks to be an AR-15 type carbine with a collapsible stock. No magazine could be discerned, perhaps it's a California compliant 10 rounder. Predictably, the media is going full retard about the high-powered AR-15 ASSAULT rifle. LAX is still largely locked down, and the freeways around LAX (major LA arteries) are snarled. https://twitter.com/TJD19083/status/396332812195729408/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayers up for the victims and their families.... GG ~ I was able to blow up a slightly better picture: the rifle has a pistol grip and an flattop (A3) AR's profile, and there's something that looks like a 30 round magazine nearby. The media is also breathlessly claiming the shooter wore camouflage, as of course, all mass shooters do. The camo is described as dark blue pants and a blue shirt. Huh? CNN has jumped on this with both cloven hoofs, with continuous coverage. <Sigh> My prayers for all of the innocents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Once again the root problem is mental health. But that won't matter. These attacks are either from terrorists or mentally ill individuals every time! I'm not sure what the response will be other than another knee jerk attempt by the CA legislature to ban ALL guns. Like that will work. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Once again, I'm feeling tired and abandoned. For once, the Boston Globe was fairly controlled, and did not call for the mass melting of all guns; they even put "assault rifle" in quotation marks, letting us know that these were the words used by the police chief in LA, not by the paper. But flick down to the Comments section, and those liberated minds among the reading public are calling for repeal of the Second Amendment - and I am not joking.

Of course, in CA ANY semi-auto is magically transformed into an "assault rifle." Surprised that a Mod. 1 Mk III* SMLE isn't considered one.
