Investigators have located a shooting range near Fort Hood where Hasan practiced in his spare time as well as the gun store where a few weeks ago he bought the murder weapon, a semi automatic pistol which carries a clip of 20 rounds and is known on the street as a cop killer.

Actual title is:

Ft. Hood Gunman's Religion Raising Question About Motive

[null and void]

What rational person has a question?

[jersey117]

He just snapped. Didn’t you hear?

[rockrr]

I hate this “cop killer” weapon bullcrap...

[PzLdr]

The murder weapon is known as a “cop killer”? Pu-lease. I’ve read a total of ONE [1] article about the round, let alone the handgun in the last two years.
I’ve never heard of the pistol, or the ammo, used in ANY other shooting.

Sarah Brady, anyone?

[marktwain]

“a semi automatic pistol which carries a clip of 20 rounds and is known on the street as a cop killer.”

Exactly. Just how many police officers have been killed by someone using this pistol?

Probably none.

[Marty62]

They all spout this killing an innocent forbidden.
What they don’t say is that ALL non-believers are acceptable targets.

[OregonTide]

Don’t rush to judgement.....

[DBrow]

“known on the street”? Maybe his home street, in front of his house. That would be true enough to print, eh? Or at least accurate if not true.

[Grut]

Out of curiousity, does anyone know of any cops who’ve actually been killed with one?

[luckystarmom]

Now, the administration use this situation to ban guns.

[luckystarmom]

“will use”

[GOPJ]

Have they found the Islamic ( dressed in full Islamic garb) who met with him the morning of the killings?

[lolhelp]

Nothing at all in article about his target praticing. Very misleading, makes one wonder about you and your motivies.

[jonathan-swift2000]

Only know in the smoke filled rooms of the new media. How many criminals can buy a $1,000+ gun? Wait I feel the Congress is about to Pass......Ban on high capacity magazine, followed by assualt rifles and guns that shoot more than 6 bullets!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Now, the administration use this situation to ban guns.

Well?

Mooslims should not be allowed to have guns...or explosives, or fertilizer, or sharp objects, or cars, or airplanes...or even fly on airplanes.

[glock rocks]

"he bought the murder weapon, a semi automatic pistol which carries a clip of 20 rounds and is known on the street as a cop killer."

I'm sure the journalist meant just this one pistol is known as such.

[Vendome]

A brick could kill a cop. Why is this gun so special?

[mcshot]

Interesting. Hope to hear more.

[Vendome]

That is why you are LOL Help. LOL /s

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You’re not allowed to change the article title. Learn the fricking rules!

[ColdWater]

(my title)

Posting rules state use REAL title. Do NOT substitute your own title.

[mylife]

Before firing his first shot, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was reported to be heard shouting an Arabic phrase meaning God is great.

Gee. I wonder what could have made him do that?

[Vendome]

Hasan is currently at a military hospital in San Antonio in stable condition but still unable to speak.

 

I hope he is occasionally choking on his own bile and that is corroding his throat.

 

Don't care what he has to say.

 

 

[jennyjenny]

Wasn’t there a Freeper who posted that this guy had been at his range, or did I dream that?

[Vendome]

Dr. Val Finnell was a former classmate of Hasan in California and said he(Jihad Nidal) was a quiet man who at times was extreme in his views.

 

He wasn't quitely extreme in expressing his views recently.

 

Poor Jihad Nidal, just another misunderstood, nearly middle-aged, Yut.

 

[Vendome]

They will use this to ban the military. They are a violent type you know.

[jennyjenny]

It’s the 6th paragragh in the article.

[MHGinTN]

You didn’t dream that. It was posted. The guy is an instructor at that particular range.

[Renegade]

It is NOT a clip !!!!! It is a MAGAZINE!!

[Vendome]

"One thing that people who tend to go on the fridge, forget, is the essential principals of Islam is if you kill an innocent person, it's as if you killed all of humanity."

 

Well then, all of humanity it is.

 

To the pain.

[lolhelp]

Thanks, I missed it.

[Vendome]

This article has been in title and is an apology piece for the religion of specious piece.

Peace out.

[RWGinger]

LOl
Did you read the link?

did you skip over this from the article”Investigators have located a shooting range near Fort Hood where Hasan practiced in his spare time “
I guess this makes your post a lie.

maybe you should question your motives.

[Roger_Wildcat]

Are they talking about the FN Five-seven? That the only pistol I could find that fit the description as far as being called a “cop killer”.

[Vendome]

Thing is, it does not mean God is great, even if I think he is.

Allah Ackbar means “Allah is Great”

[mylife]

Yes its an FN 5.7

[2harddrive]

Cop-killer? LOL. Give me a BREAK.

[Spunky]

"Have they found the Islamic ( dressed in full Islamic garb)..."

Curious. Where have you read or heard this? I saw where Malik Hasan was dressed in full Islamic clothing the morning of the assasinations.

[OldDeckHand]

'I’ve never heard of the pistol, or the ammo, used in ANY other shooting.

Because at $1,200 (retail, maybe more) and $40+ per box of 50 rnds (if you can find it), it's not the weapon of choice for gang-bangers, home-invaders and other reprobates.

I'm still puzzled how a guy with "no interest in weapons" came to own such an expensive and boutique weapon - a weapon that is used by a number country's special forces units. Hopefully, someone is asking that question.

[Spunky]

Speed readers miss alot.

[Bryanw92]

>>I’ve never heard of the pistol, or the ammo, used in ANY other shooting.

I’ve seen this round used on Stargate SG1 a lot. They’ve fired about a million rounds of 5.7x28 and they almost never kill anyone (except Replicators). The round is so weak, that they prefer to use their stun guns instead!

(Of course I know SG1 is fiction....but then so is the news when it’s a gun story!)

[Jaidyn]

Actually, it doesn’t exist. Google rhino ammo.

[jellybean]

Wasn’t there a Freeper who posted that this guy had been at his range, or did I dream that?

No, you didn't dream it. That would be FReeper popataz. However, if you check his history, he doesn't seem to be around much.

[mylife]

Yes, I know.

May Hasan rot in hell Insallah

[wastedyears]

Why are reporters so stupid?

[OldDeckHand]

"Curious. Where have you read or heard this? I saw where Malik Hasan was dressed in full Islamic clothing the morning of the assasinations."

Several local Dalla/Austin TV stations obtained the security video from a convenience store located adjacent to the base. The video shows Hasan in his all-white, Islamic garb, apparently after just visiting his local Mosque. The owner of the store (who I believe was also Muslim), recognized the picture of Hasan immediately, and contacted authorities. I'll look around for the video, and post it if I can find it.

[MHGinTN]

Reporters aren’t stupid, they’re the kneepad sycophantic obamanoids actively suppressing the truth from We The People ... which means that instead of stupid, they’re the domestic enemy of We The People.

[OldDeckHand]

Here it is...

Fort Hood suspect Nidal Malik Hasan seemed 'cool, calm, religious'

[Freds2nd]

The officer who shot the muzzie owes her life to the “cop killer” weapon. Had Hasan used a .40 or similar pistol, her wounds would have been more serious.
