OP
I have no idea what immigration has to do with this tragic event other than the slain officer was born in Bangladesh. RIP.
Excellent presentation of the facts.For all the uninformed the shooter was born in Hawaii. I guess there is sand there but for those that don't know that is the 50th State!
He grew up in California and was a high school football standout.
He also was a concealed carry permit holder from Nevada, so guessing his mental health issues were not well known.
It will be interesting to see if CTE is present. That is a real and legitimate concern. Or if he had some other break from reality.
Not that any of that excuses the violence.
It would be interesting to know, but examining his brain might be difficult now.It will be interesting to see if CTE is present. That is a real and legitimate concern. Or if he had some other break from reality.
Because for some reason hardcore 2A types do not want to disarm the Mentally Ill.CNN just reported the suspect had mental health holds in 2022 and 2024.
Wonder how he kept his concealed carry permit?
Mayor Adams just said someone else purchased the gun.Because for some reason hardcore 2A types do not want to disarm the Mentally Ill.
Most people in the press and many in government agencies do not know the difference between an AR15, an M16, an M4, or an AK47.There are several reports that the killer in NYC yesterday used a M-4 for the killing. It was identified as such by the police Commissioner. Am I mistaken in thinking that is a select-fire rifle that is not available to We The People?
The Colt Python handgun in his car had been purchased recently, by the suspect, using his NV concealed carry permit.Mayor Adams just said someone else purchased the gun.
In all fairness, there really isn’t a difference unless one considers the fire-control group. The function is identical, the dimensions and manual of arms and ergonomics are identical…its the same as nit-picking the Beretta 92 vs M9 or M1911 vs Colt Government or M1873 Cold Single-Action Army vs Peacemaker.Most people in the press and many in government agencies do not know the difference between an AR15, an M16, an M4, or an AK47.
. . . Or the butt from the muzzle!Most people in the press and many in government agencies do not know the difference between an AR15, an M16, an M4, or an AK47.
I know I don't. Those are not my firearms of choice. I'm a revolver guy and always will be. The only "military" rifles I know are the M1-Carbine, M-1 Garand and the M14. All the rest hold no interest for me. I'm probably in the minority in that opinion. Don't care. I've nothing against them or their owners, just not my thing.Most people in the press and many in government agencies do not know the difference between an AR15, an M16, an M4, or an AK47.
