Someone who knew exactly what they were doing gave the rifle to this goat fu@ker.
When recent Islamic convert Michael Zehif-Bibeau carried out the October 22 terror attack in Ottawa he used a lever action 30-30 rifle, not an "assault weapon."
To be specific, he used a Winchester Model 94 30-30--one of the oldest and most recognizable guns in of all North America, if not the world.
The Model 94 holds 7 rounds--8 if you have one chambered--and is not a semi-automatic firearm (the lever on the gun has to be manually cocked between each shot).
CBCNews Canada reports that Zehif-Bibeau fired three shots at the War Memorial before he even entered Parliament. Of those three, two were fired at Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and one at the other soldier who was also serving "in the honor guard." This left him with 5 shots maximum.
CBCNews believes this relatively small amount of ammo explains why he walked past so many individuals between the War Memorial and Parliament, without trying to take anyone else's life. He wanted to spend those remaining bullets on MPs.
It should be noted that Zehif-Bibeau was "under a criminal prohibition from possessing firearms." However, that did not stop him. Zehif-Bibeau "had no fixed address"--which by itself brings another law into play banning him from getting a firearms license and, in turn, prohibits him from possessing a firearm. But that did not stop him either.
Right now investigators believe there are three options for how Zehif-Bibeau obtained the rife: Either he stole it, bought it "on the black market," or was given the rifle by someone who did not know the many prohibitions barring Zehif-Bibeau from having one.

I listened to the whole NPR story on this, never once did they mention the words Islam or Muslim. Zehif-Bibeau was simply referred to as a "radical".
He must not have fingers as the author does.not.think reloading is possible.
the whole fuss about what kind of gun is a left wing deflection and beside the point; the muslim radical that killed Canadian soldier Patrice Vincent on monday did use any kind of gun, he deliberately ran him over with a car.
the other interesting thing is that the toronto star is as leftist as them come for a canadian newspaper. but this story is remarkably free of the PC concealment that is par for the course for the the US legacy media.
While this may be a non sequitur I can’t help but think of a model 94 of any caliber as one of the original assault rifles, along with 1873’s and 92’s. Just sayin’.
I think the standard box of 30-30 ammunition is 20 rounds. If he was given a full box, that would have left him 12-13 rounds. Of course, he could have shot them up in practice before his jihad. Or he may have had more bullets in his pockets.
I don’t think the Mounties have said how many shots he fired inside the Parliament building.
But, but he used it in an assault! It must be an assault thingy.
Well, the rifle’s magazine can be topped off very easily as you go. You can fire a few rounds, and top it off, and keep up that routine, keeping the magazine full all the time.
Assault with a lever action rifle! Thus, an assault rifle!
