Don't stop at parts and metal barstock ... we need to ban milling machines and lathes too. My Sherlines are not registered. I may have to check to see that there are no stamped or etched serial numbers on them ... hopefully just a pressure-sensitive label.

Oh ... you also are not allowed to have any tooling for mills and lathes. :banghead:
 
No we need to regulate the transfer of knowledge. Before you are given a library card or access to the internet you have to pass a background check. :evil:

Now that I think about a background check to get on the internet might not be a bad thing. ;)
 
One of the reports I saw said there was some sort of drill or drill press in his room.

I'm guessing he bought an incomplete receiver (I'm avoiding using the common term because .gov is listening :uhoh:) and everything else in parts.

The 11+mags would have been the hardest for him in CA. They didn't look new so I'm guessing they weren't 'parts kits'... and he would have to of found someone to sell him used mags either online or locally. Given the fear of CA, I think the mags were his biggest challenge but its not like he would have done much less if he had CA compliant 10 rounders.
 
Zawahri’s last reported contact with law enforcement was seven years ago, when bomb-making materials were found at his house during a search prompted by threats to students, teachers and campus police officers at Olympic High, a school for students with academic or disciplinary issues.

Well, I guess this puts the nail in the coffin on how effective Gun Control is.

Sad as it is, this guy made every point, that we've been pointing out for YEARS.

It's unfortunate it takes PEOPLE DYING before the real truth about Gun Control is exposed for what it is: a false sense of security, shrouded by false illusions and ill-conceived ideas.

I would say .. game over, there's no debating it anymore.
 
Someone asked if his parents searched him every time he walked in the door. Maybe not, but I seem to recall when I was about 15 my parents found every pack of cigarettes I managed to smuggle into MY bedroom. Just sayin'..... :eek:
 
I'm told of a man with a 15 year old boy prone to try tobacco. What the boy didn't know was the housecat at the time was fed small doses of tobacco at intervals and was always jonesing. When it smelled cigarettes it would react accordingly.

The boy is now almost 40 and a non-smoker. I would be at a loss to think of a sneaky way to alert me to building a deadly weapon. But then, the most deadly weapon is located in the few cubic centimeters inside the skull of a person with violent intent.
 
My wife and I were sitting down for a bit to eat and Fox news had a story on the gunman saying he actually built his "assault" weapon in his bedroom! Wow! We both chuckled because I just finished putting my first lower together and completely set up. I, however, used a bench in my man cave in the basement, he has me beat.
 
Well, I guess this puts the nail in the coffin on how effective Gun Control is.

If only. The typical response today, so many decades removed from the Prohibition fiasco, to the failure of a policy of restriction and infringement is that more must be done, with the scope both broadened and deepened. Thoughts like "That didn't work so let's repeal it entirely" are ancient history.

I would say .. game over, there's no debating it anymore.

There never was any real debate, only people on one side, people on the other side, and whoever happens to be legislating from the bench at key points in time. Oh, and of course there are the real policymakers and activists working against our rights: homicidal maniacs who happen to choose guns as their tools, and their partners, power-mad egomaniacs in office who use fear and dead children as their tools (much like terrorists).

Wait; terroristic threats, bomb making materials, and he's in pre-juvey? After 9-11? With a name like Zawahri? (not being a bigot; it just seems odd that that kind of behavior would go unnoticed by law-enforcement/others considering his ethnicity and age). Ridiculous. Why was he not incarcerated? The real question is where are kids in CA supposed to stand with all the cracks to fall through? :scrutiny:

Anyone heard the inevitable call for bans/regulations on home built firearms, parts kits, or black powder yet? My ear's to the ground on this one, since an action that affects so few homebuilders seems unlikely to garner national attention before it slips through the legislature late at night...:eek:

No we need to regulate the transfer of knowledge.
Don't kid yourself. That is--dead serious--the end game. As mystical as they have made machine guns in the eyes of the Proles, that is how they wish all firearms to be. With no knowledge of their function, there is no risk of their manufacture, no threat to the system in place. Knowledge is what fundamentally makes us indomesticatable animals, and that is why the powerful seek to control it. Books were burned for a reason, and CAD files will be, too ;)

Okay, I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories, but...
Hasn't everyone else noticed that this thing always seems to happen with the exact materials or methods that fit the current volatile fear or ban attempt du jour?
Or that, if it's not immediately following an attempt, someone, by some--ahem--length of effort, has a bill to ban those or start up another Patriot Act almost literally as soon as they can get it into the mailbox to their legislators?
Just sayin'.
 
^The AR has become one of the most popular guns in the US. there is no surprise that more of these nuts are using them.

If you are implying that the govt us involved in any of the recent high profile shootings I would say you are one to buy into conspiracy theories. Fact is the guns that politicians are pushing bans for (assault rifles and high cap mags) are not used in the majority of deadly shootings. The ones that are high profile are that way in part because of the weapon used. the media ignores most shootings but latches on to the guy with the AR. thats whats hot so that is what they report.

We perceive and assume the guns are being used a lot more than they actually are. I could see someone maybe making a case that the govt influences media, but I can't buy into they are behind the shootings
 
The Santa Monica killer also had zip guns which can be built from non-firearm plumbing supplies

Hmmmmm...how many of the "one-shot zip guns" have been made in prisons?
 
CARL BROWN - " ... There are limits to gun control. ..."

I disagree. To left wing liberal gun grabbers, there is no such thing as "limits to gun control."

The only time they will ever be satisfied is when they have finally banned and confiscated ALL firearms. That is, those from all us unwashed worker peasants. Their extremely well armed, very expensive bodyguards will be exempt, of course.

That is their agenda, their plan, their goal.

L.W.
