So far, here's what I've heard on the news: The shooters had full auto, high power, AK47's chambered in .222 that were legal in CA except the clips that didn't have buttons.
Oh, and the pistols were police style Smith & Wesson!
I read their weapons were legally purchased.
I thought it was illigal in Cali to own semi auto rifles without a bullet button? and full capacity mags?
did any of the sources mention them illegally modifying the bullet buttons?
I just listened to a reporter state that the firearms, recovered from the scenes, were "common sporting firearms."
Good for her. And not something I would have expected to hear on OPB - NBR coverage.
According to the NY Times:
Four guns were recovered: a Smith & Wesson M&P assault rifle, a DPMS Panther Arms assault rifle, a Smith & Wesson handgun and a Llama handgun.
Here's a link to the article: How They Got Their Guns

This morning they were talking about semi-auto. One press of the trigger fires one round. Apparently you can buy a button that you can activate with a bullet to turn it into an assault rifle full auto.
Wall Street Journal said:While they were originally sold legally, with magazine locking devices commonly known as bullet buttons, the rifles were subsequently altered in different ways to make them more powerful, according to Meredith Davis, a special agent with the ATF.
Wall Street Journal said:The Smith & Wesson rifle was changed in an attempt to enable it fire in fully automatic mode, while the DPMS weapon was modified to use a large-capacity magazine, she said.

I wish reporters had a place on there head you could activate with a stick to make them think!
Agree. Its an ArmaLite Rifle! Call it what it is news morons!I'm really getting sick and tired of their use of the term "assault rifle"
Seems the only thing these ba$tards know how to do is use false terms, twist facts and use name calling against anyone that doesn't support their side.
