this is looking more like an old former gang member than a docile 72 year old Asian man

I shot one back in the '70s, very unbalanced, just a spray and pray firearm
in it's semi auto form, just as hard to shoot as a Tech 9 (and I have one of those)
I think they were originally designed as a counter ambush weapon for the Military in Vietnam
in it's original form, it could dump a 30 rnd mag in 2 sec

The semi auto form of the Cobray is terrible. I own Semi auto and full auto of the m11/9. If you shove a suppressor on the original upper who knows how fast that thing empties, but it is faster than 2 seconds. I love the full auto version with lage uppers and even the original.

Again the semi auto version is doing abnormally well to get through a mag without 5 jams. It is a terrible gun. While MPA did get the kinks worked out of the semi auto design, I would put my SA Cobray as my most likely to jam.

Another interesting tidbit about the guy from another article:

Two law enforcement sources said the suspect recently showed up to the Hemet police station saying his family was trying to poison him.

I wonder if that raised any 'red flags' ?

As if any ban on firearms or magazines. Doing away with the 3-day wait period, etc. would have prevented this.
But its a sure bet that LEVO and the AG will scream that it would. Hand wringing will ensue. I don't see the Honorable Raschio's TRO standing much longer.

I have a flat tire on my new tires today. I guess I Better go change All 5 before they All go flat!

Good night, he went to Hemet? Of course a Californian who is a senior citizen would have been in Hemet. Nicknames for Hemet from it's residents include Purgatory and God's waiting room. I unfortunately lived there for 3 years.

No, you should flatten the rest first, so you can have that all-important sense of smug self-satisfaction.

Heck, I remember Hemet when it was about the size of LaPine and I used to go shooting in a few areas around there!

I used to go shooting in Diamond valley pretty regularly. But it still was hot and miserable. I killed who knows how may rattlers out there.

But ... but ... the pistol was banned in Californication. And who would have imagined a homicidal criminal wouldn't have a stamped can.

Looks like he made it out of grease gun.

I am surprised the bullets left it without making contact with the insides on the way out.

Weird, because I don't subscribe to The Gray Lady, and can read it. Looks like Yahoo! might have the same article though. Cheers.
