Student arrested for full auto rifle and bumpstock

[StacattoP]

The title only says a little UCF student arrested, had fully automatic AR-15 in vehicle at campus dorm, police say. "He knowingly and flagrantly disregarded the law and that's unacceptable to us," UCF police Chief Carl Metzger told reporters. "I don't think anyone would consider it a good idea to have a machine gun on a college campus. This isn't Afghanistan."

I'm getting it was the drop-in auto sears was the issue more so than the bump stock.

It had a six round magazine but fired 19 shots with one pill of the trigger.

Clearly this was Jesus's rifle.

Article said he made no threats.
"We believe he's an enthusiast who put his interest in firearms above complying with the law," the police chief said."
As a former mechanical engineering student, I wouldn't read any more into the article than what it looks like to most of us.

His parents new his major in engineering would lead to something big but this, they can't be celebrating right now.

Genius has its limits but stupidity knows no bounds. The quotes from Police Chiefs and politicians show that they don't have a basic understanding of how firearms function.

He was just asking for trouble. People like him are who what ruin it for the rest of us reasonable folks.

 

[notazombie]

Doesn't sound like he was asking for anything. Sounds like someone ratted him out.

 

[bolus]

this counts as a school mass shooting right?

I wonder if they were lightning links, DIAS or the new coat hanger ones.

If one has a coat hanger with 80% of the bends finished, is it illegal?

But was it fully full auto?

With the current state of journalistic competence these days, I wouldn't be sure if he had a stick or shoestring.

UCF policy prohibits weapons from being possessed or stored on university property, but allows for them to be kept in a private vehicle as long as they are "not readily accessible for immediate use."


UH if the vehicle is on school grounds isn't this the same damn thing?

 

[StacattoP]

The whole foucus wasn't the bumpstock it was more the absurd wording of the folks in the cast

If you look at the pictures on twitter it appears to have the 3rd hole and a sear installed. (assuming they are pictures of the actual weapon)

Too bad he got caught.

Screw the NFA right? Sure remember a lot of people on this board saying that but many will jump in and crucify somebody who lives it.

No judgment from me...

Weird. So why the bump stock I wonder? Cover story if someone saw him firing FA?

Maybe the bump stock was the gateway....

Because turbo and nitrous.

Because turbo and nitrous.

And of course, fully automatic bullets.
