That’s a lie. Anyone familiar with guns knows he had a machine gun up there.

roflwhat?

this is such a silly response I can't even.

he purchased 24 firearms over the course of years. Most were AR types - 14 .223 ar15 patterns but also AR-10s and a .308 bolt action.

you could argue he made them machine-gun like with the c-mags and bump stocks; as the shooting went on his firing came in longer and longer bursts, 90+ rounds - but there were no 'machine guns' in the ATF tax stamp sense.

Just stupid american laws crafted by idiot politicians owned by the gun lobby allowing civilians to approximate a half ass version that's basically only effective for murdering unarmed civilians. A real machine gun is belt or box fed, has changeable barrels, a tripod or bipod with T&E, an AG....
