So the article mentioned one of the guns was a lever action. How soon after they ban ARs here until they start calling grandpa’s .30-30 an assault rifle?

I can find no unit of time small enough to answer your question accurately.

The Antifa-types are linking everyone and everything they hate to this. Basically if you think bad thoughts, then murders on the other side of the planet are your fault.

I haven’t checked into the details. Did this guy legally acquire his firearms? Had he previously done anything that would have disqualified him from anything?

I read every word (although there seems to be a repeat glitch in the last 20 pages or so)

I don’t think it’s prudent that I comment on the veracity of its content.
