Gun Charge Dropped Against VA Tech Shooter, Guns Seized in Oregon, and Stolen UPS Guns Found – TTAG Daily Digest

1. And I betcha half the so-called “armed intelligentsia” who read this still think Cook county(where Midlothian is) has strict gun laws-it doesn’t. In fact only a few miles away in Oak Forest( Eagle Range)you can shoot machine guns and your non-neutered AR. What will happen after BJ er JB Prickster wins is anyones guess…😦

   • Machine guns in Illinois are a little in the tricky side. I don’t know that Eagle ever managed it.

     • I thought all cops were exempt from Illinois’ full auto ban.
       What about Special Occupation Taxpayers?

       • Never said you could OWN full auto in ILLinois…

2. The number of firearms stolen from UPS facilities by employees is more than most people realize, what’s even more disturbing is the lackadaisical efforts UPS corporate has to dealing with the problem. The same goes for scheduled pharmaceuticals.

   • What does ups have to do with scheduled pharmaceuticals ?? 99% of drugs are delivered by pharmaceutical wholesalers not ups or fedex or usps

     • What company delivers the scheduled pharma (opiates) to the retail pharmacies?

       • The pharmaceutical wholesalers run trucks to the neighborhood pharmacies?

       • We have drug couriers where I live.
         Both for regular deliveries and for special orders.

       • There are drug couriers everywhere, you can recognize them by their pants around their ankles,

   • Really Rick? Says who and how would you know? Union bitching/whining??

3. That 20 vs 30 round magazine case is a perfect example of what is wrong with so many gun laws in this country. It makes no sense to start with, as if foreigners are safe with 20 round magazines but feloniously dangerous with 30 rounders. Then there’s the pathetic evidence — no receipts, one video showing a magazine change after 20 rounds. What the heck was an undercover cop doing trailing him around to start with? If he was judged that dangerous that you need an undercover cop watching him, isn’t he dangerous enough to justify video showing more than 20 rounds being shot, or arresting him on the spot and confiscating the magazine as evidence?

   Good grief.

   • Is that a local, state, or federal law?

     • It says Virginia law.

   • If I remember correctly, when this story was first reported they claimed he was planning a school shooting and he was buying assault weapons. That people from school ratted him out and police caught him before he could shoot up the school. Or maybe there was another story about a Chinese kid doing the same thing, but actually was trying to commit an attack.

     • I think I remember the case you mentioned; but I do not know if this is the same one. My point stands; he was so dangerous that they assigned an undercover cop to follow him around, yet so benign that they didn’t arrest him on the spot. Not only is *the* Law a ass, so is *that* law and *those* cops and *that* prosecutor.

4. VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTER? Change that headline now, unless “shooter” refers to someone shooting paper at the range.

   • “Yunsong Zhao, a Chinese national, is now back in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and his future in America is uncertain.”

     “He was accused of having an assault rifle on campus and faced a felony charge.”

     Along that line of thought,unless said rifle had the capability of automatic fire it wasn’t a Assault Rifle,
     A perfect example of fake news or lazy uneducated journalists.

     • Check the definition of assault rifle at dictionary.com, merriam, who ever. You are going to be disappointed to find that a lie repeated often enough became fact. Assault rifle hasn’t been defined as strictly select fire for years.

       Doesnt matter if it’s true or not, only that “the facts” support the agenda.

   • Yeah that’s some flat out bullshit if I’ve ever seen it. CNN effect I guess.

     • Correct Bravo Sierra does’t over ride truth and fact unless one is a mindless Leftard.

5. Late ‘Daily Digest update :

   “McConnell sets key Kavanaugh vote for Friday”

   “Senate Republicans filed cloture on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination on Wednesday, paving the way for a weekend showdown over the Supreme Court.

   The move by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will allow the chamber to vote on ending debate on Kavanaugh’s nomination on Friday under the chamber’s rules.

   If Kavanaugh overcomes the procedural hurdle, the Senate could then take a final vote on his nomination as early as Saturday.”

   • “Early as” NOT being – “the week he was nominated” (the second week of JULY).

6. Sure glad that Oregon LEOs seized that Nylon 66. Who knows what terror it or the H&R may have unleashed.

   • I, too, noticed the Nylon 66. Did you see that bigass scope on it?

     • Looks like a cheap Walmart Tasco.

   • Nylon 66.
     The first rifle I ever bought. 1978.

     • I remember the Nylon 66 being advertised on the back pages of “Boys Life”, the Boy Scouts’ magazine.

   • A Nylon 66 was the first gun I ever owned — actually, my father owned it but I’m the only one who shot it. It was 1960.

     Man, what a different world.

7. Wow, more gun control in California. Why am I not surprised. But you can still have sex in public and walk around naked on days the government gives you permission. Or you can choose to wear a strap on dildo, well fitted for public attire. Gun civil rights are not a priority in the Golden State. But other things are.

8. Wouldn’t it be easier just to airdrop a couple of crates of High Points on one corner and a few barrels of crack on the opposite corner and just let natural selection happen?

   • If there was enough crack for all that wanted it, the guns would have no takers. The reason for the guns is the money the crack is worth and the fighting over who gets to control sales. Certainly, the people in business of supplying cocaine will do other crimes to get money, but they already have guns.
     Check history after the repeal of prohibition.

9. The ninth amendment is quite clear.

   The Rights of the People, pre-existed the documents that formed the Union to be a citizen of.
   It is Not a requirement of The People to be a citizen.

   • So we can charge them income tax…and they can vote, too? Right?

     • What? Common sense? HERE?

10. I agree, the title should not call him a Va Tech shooter as if he was part of the Va Tech massacre.

    Isn’t this the kid that completely lawfully target shooting that some rent a cop claims he saw him use a 30 round mag at the range and turned him in?
    This is confusing and makes the whole thing sound like he shot up a school and is now not being charged.

    Garbage in, garbage out I guess…..

    • Right.
      We have The VA Tech Shooter, who forever should remain nameless.
      And this Chinese national isn’t him.
      Whether he’s just a freedom loving guy that anybody would be glad to have for an immigrant, or whether he’s a Chinese spy, he was clearly careful not to commit the so-called crime a perjuring badge toting felon accused him of.

      And he’s still being punished for being innocent of all charges.

11. “ERPOs/✋ STOP ✋/RED FLAG LAWS ” are going to be big business to strip away a US citizens constitutional rights… Of course, I’m sure these people will never receive THEIR property returned by L.E. ….Who will be next here on TTAG to receive that knock on there door to surrender ALL THEIR personal weapons and or property deemed weapons…Under a vague , arbitrary and capricious mandate…See, just what I said before…Nevermind gun control tyranny is here….With ALL constitutional principles thrown out the window by Law Enforcement/ Judicial/Legislative branches….

12. this is bullshit. zhao was not a shooter. he merely had a gun in his room. complete bullshit title. jesus you guys have no integrity what so ever.

13. Progressive politics is fascism. Support the NRA. Vote Republican. Enough said.
