Tuesday's New York Daily News cover story is nothing more than a long-form editorial that attempts to make the AR-15 (a semiautomatic sport rifle) the bad guy in Monday's horrific Navy Yard shooting. Last night, CNN attempted to do the same through blowhard Piers Morgan. But there is just one problem: CNN and The Daily News are 100% wrong. The FBI has just confirmed that a shotgun and two pistols were recovered, and that the "gunman was NOT armed with [an] AR-15."It appears the Navy Yard Shooter took Joe Biden's advice and bought a pump action shotgun, one considered so innocuous, that any adult can purchase it in England and Australia.
So the shooter legally purchased his shotgun from a licensed dealer in Virginia, passed the NICS background check, passed state and Federal background checks, used a weapon that Joe Biden suggested, killed two guards at the Navy Yard, took their weapons, and continued the carnage until he was shot by an AR-15 carried by a civilian police officer.
So please tell me how the Manchin-Toomey background check law would have stopped this massacre?
So let us review the facts often cited by gun control supporters. 1.) No assault weapon used, but a pump action shotgun 2.) Legally purchased from a licensed dealer 3.) Submitted the a federal background check. So everything was done according to the wished of the gun control crowd............
