Every story I could find mentions "legally bought pistol(s)" with no mention of the suppressor being "legal". Which article did you see this in?

I'm going with this also.

A bunch of comments from people who were there included "Hearing shots, LOTS of shots, lots of shooting".

Of course that doesn't matter to the mainstream media who turns a $29.95 Chinese Barska Tactical vest into "Full Body Armor".

The latest on Fox news is he used two 45's that were legally purchased in 2018 and 2016. No further mention of a silencer. Maybe one of them was a master piece arms type that comes with the fake can.

I believe it was on Fox I heard it. Yesterday was a clusterfuck of sensationalist reporting and I was doing shit most of the day.

This site comments about him making "multiple firearms purchases in recent weeks". He didn't purchase a suppressor "in recent weeks".

I'm leaning toward home-made or fake.

The suspected mass shooter who killed at least 11 people and injured at least six others at a municipal center in Virginia Beach on Friday afternoon was widely identified across social media as DeWayne Craddock. The Wall Street Journal also reported that the gunman was identified as DeWayne Craddock, a 40-year-old Black man who “made multiple firearm purchases in recent weeks.”

Edited to not piss Leggy off.

This link goes to an article discussing silencers and how much more efficient it made his gun.

Shooter being a black Democrat makes me wonder how long this story will last, like how quickly the those gay kid shooters got buried in the media.

Craddock used two .45-caliber handguns in the shooting and police found a sound suppressor, commonly known as a silencer, and extended magazines.

Extended magazines? Put a +2 on a Glock magazine?
