The Arab Spring comes to America again!
SANTA MONICA -The gunman who launched a shooting spree that left four people dead and injured five others had planned his attack, toting enough ammunition to possibly kill hundreds of people, Santa Monica police said Saturday.
He would be lucky to get two shots off around here. Another California gun free zone.
Police declined to identify the former Santa Monica College student, other than to say he left four victims dead and another gravely wounded during a one-mile rampage that ended with the shooter being gunned down by police in the campus library.
Though police would not name the suspect until his family could be notified, he was widely believed to be 23-year-old John Zawahri, a native of Lebanon, who would have turned 24 on Saturday. Police declined to discuss a motive.
Police: Gunman planned to kill hundreds in Santa Monica shooting spree – LA Daily News
His rifle was illegal in California. Perhaps they need some more laws to make it even more illegal?
And there are 50,000 more much like him running around the country…
“…toting enough ammunition to possibly kill hundreds of people…”
THAT’S what they need to look into. Anyone that has more ammunition than they need for “personal use” should be investigated by the DHS.
He got shot after the 22nd round.
In Wyoming he would have been shot as soon as he pulled the rifle out.
” should be investigated by the DHS.”
Yeah the state will help you, I’m sure. Trust the DHS.

Wow Henry! Whose side are you on? Please tell me you forgot a sarc tag.
Sometimes /sarc is assumed. Sorry.
I was wondering how the article can say this individual was toting all that ammo, and NOT question the DHS purchases (ie, BUYING enough ammunition to possibly kill hundreds of people).
That is what bullets are for, right?
Maybe the person was applying for a DHS job, and was told to BYOB.
/sarc (just so people are sure).
It is all part of the story line to demonize firearms in general and semi-auto magazine fed weapons specifically.
Another example of how the people most interested in gun control have a limited comprehension of firearms and at the same time more evidence for why any attempt at gun control is so vigorously oppossed. Why in the world would you trust anyone making statements like this?
I consider minimum loadout for personal use to be 400 rounds.
What a dunce. Hell henerythethird, the DHS has more ammo than any government agency outside of the US Armed Forces. Maybe as much as 1.5 billion rounds. Enough to shoot every man, woman, and child in America 5 times. Just who do you think we need to report DHS to, Erick Holder and Obama’s IRS?
Heh-heh. Thanks, “No Substitute For” — are you related to “Vee For”? (How about “Pyrrhic” Victory, or his uncle “Tainted”? Anyway, I’m glad to see some sense, especially this early in the morning.)
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
When the police refused to I.D. the perp, My 1st thought was: He’s a raghead. Thanks for the verification Steve.
Workplace violence? No, it’ll be dismissed as just another example of “family violence” along with the numerous honor killings that have occurred in the US.
FOX named the suspect early this morning, and then stopped on later updates. Are they thinking his name will soon change to something more PC?
Zawahri now where I have heard that name before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawahri
“Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri,[2] (Arabic: ???? ???? ???? ????????? ?Ayman Mu?ammad Rab?? a?-?aw?hir?, born 19 June 1951) is an Egyptian physician,[3] Islamic theologian and current leader of the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda.[4] “
This is all starting to look a lot like policies of tension. Pressure from above and Pressure from below; as first described by Colonel House, advisor to progressive solcialist Woodrow Wilson, as a means to enslave a population.

Colonel House was BTW a JP Morgan goon.
RE: Steve – “His rifle was illegal in California. Perhaps they need some more laws to make it even more illegal?”
Exactly. What do they do now, threaten to hold the perp’s corpse until it turns 80?
