Leaving aside the politics and horror of the thing, the more interesting question is what type of ammunition he was using, rather than the particular gun and magazines. The fact that the congresswoman has somewhat miraculously survived would seem to indicate hardball or a failed hollowpoint.
The Bradys got their background check. It didn’t make a difference. There shouldn’t be one. Every law-abiding citizen who buys a gun is harassed by that background check. Every single time, time after time.
Criminals who get turned down can just get their guns on the street, that is, if they don’t just get them there to begin with. It’s pointless. How much a year are we taxpayers spending on that that feel good, do nothing, Brady BS?
The libs want magic answers. THERE AIN”T NONE!!!!! Where was the”fbi” during his background check???? Their magic answers only exist in “unicornland” where everything is lovely & politically correct. BOHICA!!!!

So he passed the Brady Background check according to the WaPo.
Their favorite law, named after them, pused through Congress by them, failed to prevent this situation.
Once again another criminal walked right through the existing law. The police didn’t even stop him, it took 3 regular Joe’s to tackle him.
