Any problems with the PSA stripped or complete lowers?

can only speak for this complete upper which needed 50 bucks worth of work.

So he uses a firearm to threaten or at least intimidate a neighborhood over trash? Then fires his weapon within city limits, nearby other occupied, residential buildings? Seems like they are trying to depict what will later be used as a template for red-flag laws and then using the shootings as justification for seizures. It's like he's playing right into their narrative. Well...WAS playing into it. He's dead now.

LE knew about him, knew that he would shoot in an unsafe area. They did nothing until the traffic stop.

Second shooting in Texas where someone who shouldn't have a gun got one despite the current laws. Someone has some explaining to do!!!

 

[notazombie]

I didn't see where it said he lived within city limits. I'm 2 miles from the police station but outside the boundaries. It's legal for me to shoot here and neighbors frequently use firearms to eradicate pests.

If this guy acquired the firearm via private party sale without a background check, this checks all the boxes for Manchin-Toomey to pass.

 

[Stomper]

Its weird to me, but people in general are so apathetic. I bet the average Texan per capita doesn't carry any more often than most other places where its legal.

Meh.....

Actually they will use this.

"If we only had universal background checks then he couldn't buy guns privately like Texas allows" "And if we only had national registration, then we would have known he had the rifle and the government would have confiscated it using Red Flag laws when the neighbor complained."

Red Flag. Why didn't police follow up on the neighbors report? 'Cause the address wasn't in their GPS?!!?!

Not for nothing but fire, no retirement, the 'management' that let that go. Sgt, LT. Captain.

( Although, this also shows that RedFlag laws are less effective than people think. )


Subject to further reports:
- this morning, reports are the bad actor called police before the incident started.

- As to previous run ins - read he had a misdemeanor charge some time ago, but not one which would prohibit possession.

Your right they do like here in Washington.
But is it really working.
Only time will tell.

I didn't see anywhere where it said the neighbors reported him to the police. Only that they complained about him after the fact to the press.

"A second neighbor shared a very different memory of Ator. Veronica Alonzo told CNNthat Ator yelled at her a few weeks prior to the shooting "for leaving trash in a nearby dumpster." Alonzo said Ator approached her home while holding a rifle. She explained that she called police after that incident, but that no officers showed up due to the difficulty of finding the street. She said the address doesn't come up on GPS. "

Ok. I didn't see that. Don't watch (or read) the commie news network. Thanks.

Texas gunman had been ruled 'mentally unfit' to buy firearms, used loophole on background check: report

The gunman who killed 7 and injured at least 22 others in a West Texas shooting rampage Labor Day weekend before he was shot and killed by police was federally banned from owning or buying firearms after a court previously ruled he was mentally unfit to do so, authorities said.

It was a private purchase.

How much you bet they will be demanding UBGC nationwide.
