Dave sends us a link to Reuters<\/a> which reports that the feds are considering charges against Enrique Marquez, the pal of the jihadist couple in the San Bernadino terrorist attack. It looks like he illegally made a straw purchase of the rifles used in the attack. It also appears that Marquez and the male jihadist had plotted a terrorist attack in 2012, but, for some reason backed down from their plans.<\/p>\n

Marquez, who had known Farook since they were teenage neighbors in the city of Riverside, legally purchased the two AR-15 assault-style rifles that the couple used in their attack on a holiday party of Farook’s co-workers.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday said there was no evidence that the San Bernardino attackers, who were also inspired by Islamic State, had been part of a terrorist cell.<\/p>\n

Neighbors said Marquez and Farook often worked together on cars in Farook’s garage in their younger years but that the friendship had cooled in the past three years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this is what the left has been waiting for – a mass shooting that involved the use of scary-looking black rifles. According to The Hill<\/a>, the Democrats have introduced a reincarnated version of the Clinton-era “assault weapon ban” so that, for some reason that escapes me, they won’t have their senses disturbed by the legality of bayonet studs and flash suppressors.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, let\u2019s remember that assault weapons were first designed for the battlefield by Germans during the Second World War,\u201d said Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), who is leading congressional efforts to ban these types of guns. “The sole purpose of their existence was to kill as many people as quickly as possible during military combat.”<\/p>\n

The Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 introduced Wednesday by Cicilline would target semi-automatic and other military-style guns. It would ensure that no such weapons are manufactured for consumer use, while placing new restrictions on the sale of already existing assault weapons.<\/p>\n

The legislation is backed by about 90 Democratic co-sponsors, but has no hope of passing through Congress, given opposition from Republicans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good. I hope they stick with their principles on this issue and try to scare the American public with their images of Germans and Nazis. This isn’t a winning issue for them.<\/p>\n

Under the legislation, gun owners who already have assault weapons would be allowed to keep them, but they could face challenges reselling them.<\/p>\n

The bill would intensify background checks for people looking to buy any of the estimated 8 million to 9 million assault weapons that are already in circulation. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing like influencing Americans to go out and make a record number of purchases ahead of the Democrats’ ill-conceived proposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
