Parkland school shooter did not use high capacity magazines.

[TxMusky]

It is now being reported that the School shooter was not using high capacity magazines as has been reported in the news. He was using standard 10 round magazines and had 15 of them. The high capacity 30 round magazines would not fit into his backpack, it is now reported.

We have not seen any pics of the weapon or the backpack that was left at the scene and that is kind of strange because it is usually the first thing the media wants to show. Could there be more lies we are going to find out about this?

The gunman used only 10-round magazines.

The Parkland shooter did not use magazines larger than 10 rounds, but gun-reform lobbyists are calling on lawmakers to ban higher-capacity magazines after the Valentine’s Day tragedy.


The 19-year-old school shooter who killed 17 in Florida on Valentine’s Day had 150 rounds of ammunition in 10-round magazines. Larger ones would not fit in his bag, Florida state senator Lauren Book revealed.


His AR-15 reportedly jammed as he attempted to continue his killing spree inside his former school last month.


After his gun jammed, the shooter threw it away and successfully blended into a crowd of students trying to escape the building, according to three sources close to the investigation.

Critics of high-capacity magazines have pointed to the shooting as an example of how they enable killing and ought to be banned, but the Parkland shooter used only smaller magazines.


Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) hinted at a CNN town hall last week that the weapon may have malfunctioned, saying “three or four people may be alive today” because of something that happened during the shooting. Rubio has reconsidered his stance on whether high-capacity magazines should remain legal after the shooting, even though they are not what the young gunman used.

Dork I did notice that the wording was wrong and was glad to see that Marco Rubio straightened it out for us. He was not making toast.

There's been no truths about any thing in the reporting on this.

While he wasn't as efficient as the Las Vegas shooter he did a pretty fair job of killing 17 and wounding 15 in about 6 minutes.

The AR-15 seems to be really efficient for killing a lot of people in a short time.

Of course, maybe he could have killed even more if he had several high capacity magazines.

I don't think magazines have anything to do with the travesty that occurred

The Las Vegas shooter was not efficient at all, not at all.....

It comes down to knowing and understand what happens when you pull a trigger....the trajectory, the beaten zone, the cone of fire, any machenegunner can tell ya about this better than I can as I've forgotten so much of it...

He had a set field of fire, dumped as may bullets into a packed area of human flesh, it was pure bad luck on who got hit and who did not. Anybody with a M1 Garand and a bucket full of 8rd en bloc clips who took the time to focus and squeeze the trigger would have killed way more people...

This ass clown using a bumpstock saved more lives than took them by using such a device instead of steady aimed fire....

Reports at the time indicated, while the Los Vegas murderer had bump-stocks in the room, he did not use them. Was that report refuted or repudiated later? I always found that curious especially because the sound recordings I heard sounded like rapid fire, but I have not kept up. So much of that event seems very opaque by design of both the perp and investigators.

My brother has an AR-15 and he can fire it without a bump stock and it seems like it is automatic.

He says automatics are a waste of ammo.He can fire it as fast or as slow as he wants to.

I have asked him why he has it and he says it is fun to shoot. I asked if he would take it hunting and he said No Way.I asked him if it was his defensive weapon and again he said no that his nickel 1911 .45 was his defensive weapon. He said his AR made his pillow too lumpy.

From my limited knowledge they were used & if you listen very close to the shots fired recordings, you can hear variations how the rate of fire speeds up & slows sown, but is faster than you can pull a trigger. I've not paid much attention to with this or any reports lately & had not heard the bump fire stocks were not used.

If they were not used, why the push at the white house level to ban them......Trump even said to ban them....

Politics????

It is a small thing that will not solve the problem but it is hoped will quiet the demonstrations demanding action to stop the school shootings. It would take legislation from Congress to ban them and the GOP in control will never go against their owners in the NRA.

As the President said they are scared of the NRA. The AR-15 needs to be renamed GOP because they are so easy to buy.

Your full of ****, "so easy to buy" ya know what, you can't buy one without a background check, go into any gun store in the springs and try to buy one....hell, try and buy one at AAFES and see what happens......

They are no harder or any easier to buy than any other semi auto weapon, and in Colorado have mag limits that are all kinds of screwed up.

The AR 15 and the Mini 14 Ranch rifle are semi automatic rifles.....both using detachable box magazines.....yet nobody is afraid of the Ranch rifle, is that cuz it's not black, are you racists afraid of a black rifle....

Years ago, when Don was supporting the radical interpretation of the 2nd as a defense against a totalitarian/tyrannical government and a right to be as well-armed as them, fully automatic weapons readily obtainable by citizens was more than acceptable, it was a right guaranteed by the contract with the people. In fact, anything fitting the definition of an “arm” was A-OK. Now, not so much apparently. Me, I argued some rights controdict each other and must be measured accordingly. This is one of those. Only the most intractable among us would reason that people have a right to obtain and carry man pads around, yet Don once did, when backed into a corner to butrice his point.

I accept that trained shooters can fire some semi-autos seemingly as fast as bump stock weapons, yetvI would still argue that they should be banned or licensed as stringently as full auto weapons have been, although I am not sure how stringent that really is now. While I still agree that the original reason for the 2nd was as Don originally believed, I do think there should be a balancing test with the general policing authority given government.
