Omaha Mall Shooter Rifle Pictures Show Ordinary SKS
Pictures from KPTM Fox 42: Omaha ^ | 8 December, 2007 | Marktwain

Posted on 12/08/2007 6:58:18 AM PST by marktwain

It appears that we have positive identification of the rifle used in the Omaha Mall shooting. The pictures from Fox 42: Omaha show an ordinary SKS rifle with a fixed 10 round magazine. The same rifle that millions of people in the United States own for hunting and plinking. It is an acceptable deer rifle for most of the country.

There have been many reports of "assault rifle" used in the MSM, and reports of 30 round magazines. It appears that all of these reports are false, probably intended to stir up anti-gun sentiment before the election.

Not wishing to jump off the speculation cliff . . .

however, given a lot of givens from a lot of sources . . .

I’m wondering . . . what percent chance is there

that the NWO folks

1. COULD have [I’d say 100%}

and

2. DID influence the boy toward such [hard to guess]

in their inexorable push to remove guns from the populace?

Seems to me tweaking a boy up with a deer rifle to do such an then sending him off on the task would be easily doable with a number of manipulative techniques—especially if he had psychiatric problems before hand.

Are there any . . . ops . . . folks anyone has access to who’d anonymously brave a comment?

The media lied when people died.

Good summation of much of the current crop of MSM coverage.

I would like to see the adapters that were used to make the sks receiver accept the mag. Probably where the aftermarket(?) adapters were designed from. The original sks receiver has to be remilled and resized to accept the ak mag without adapters. The stock mag tabs fit between the stock and the reciver, with the raised groove at the back of the mag fit into the groove in front of the trigger guard. If they wanted to do that, why not just issue the AK to the paratroopers? It is shorter, more rounds etc, the true "assault" weapon, in full auto mode.

Regardless, that model sure is pretty.

Bump.

God Bless everyone involved here. Hopefully this horribly tragic incident doesn't go towards stopping our right.

OMAHA, Neb. — Omaha police Friday released three still images captured from surveillance footage inside a shopping mall department store before Robert Hawkins' bloody rampage began. One shows the 19-year-old walking through Von Maur's front entrance with an apparent bulge under his sweat shirt. It was an AK-47 assault rifle, police said.

You don’t need secretive manipulative techniques to do this. Just glorify all mass shooters as anti-heros and victims in your insane desire to attribute all evil to the instrument they chose.. the gun. This technique worked so well a mentally troubled young man named Hawkins said that this is why he chose to shoot a lot of people in a mall... to get his 15 minutes of fame.

The MSM bears a large proportion of the blame for these mass shootings, but you will never hear them mention it.

Maybe I’m way off here (and I’m no gun expert), but the way the guy is holding the gun in the video image, with the right elbow dropped down like that, seems to me more like he’s holding a gun with a pistol grip below the trigger (or whatever it’s called) as in a AK-47, rather than a normal rifle which you would have your right elbow raised up more, like the SKS.

The height of the front sight sure looks like an AK.

Having full access to a machine shop, more time on their hands than a detroit auto worker, why not? :-)

Have any mall shoppers spoken out on their outrage at being disarmed and unable to stop this insect? Anyone who may have left their guns in their car due to mall restrictions?

Freerepublic and the Internet bring an enormous amount of talent to comment and analyze any issue. It is a wonderful benefit of the age.

Thank you for your kind comments.

I haven’t seen any yet, but they are likely out there, being spiked by the MSM.

I find it interesting that of the 8 innocent victims, 6 were mall employees.
