Wow, felony and a domestic violence charge

That's 2 disqualifiers

How did he get through?

It's almost like the system doesn't work

When I was going through my PAL and RPAL courses the instructor told us about a guy from Calgary a few years ago that got arrested mid course

He was teaching and like always asked "What do you want your license for?" and the dude deadass said "I want to be able to buy a gun so I can kill my wife and kids then myself"

Not even as a joke. Instructor called R.C.M.P. during their lunch break and he was arrested when class started again. They searched his house and found a will plus suicide note

"Martin was able to purchase his gun legally thanks to an error by the Illinois State Police, who failed to find his felony conviction and issued the FOID card. And the Mississippi felony apparently didn’t show up on the NICS background check Martin underwent when he bought the handgun, either."

Fucking hell

once again

people fail the system

Remember when Hillary Clinton was yelling about the Vegas shooter using automatic weapons screaming they need to be banned?

Haven't they been banned for decades

The FBI seems to be the one failing it most of the time

machineguns are tightly regulated

Same with silencers which she said something retarded like "if he had a silencer no one would have noticed the shots"

well yeah

silencers are silent

just play call of duty

:^))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

In James Bond when he uses one no one hears anything in a cramped room

silencers get you down to the 130 or so DB range

Hell, wasn't paddock the kind of guy who could have obtained suppressors relatively easily?

He had the money

in movies they're around 70 DB

certainly seemed like it

he had a bunch of money

motorcycles are around 130db aren't they?

not sure

also

the measurement is at the muzzle generally

only recently has that standard started to change to at the shooter's ear

Jet engines are like 130 aren't they?

150

http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm

hearing damage is over 140db

pain threshold is 120

quietest .22 suppressor I've seen tested was 108- 112db

my understanding of supressors

is that they sound like an engine backfiring

nah
