Where Did They Get Their Guns?

[AnnieBW]

We've heard lots of discussion about pressure cookers (never liked those things!), but one question that nobody is asking - where did the Bomber Brothers get their guns? Has the ATF managed to trace them yet? Were they legal or illegal? Were they bought on the street, at a store, or at a gun show?

Just wonderin'.

1. No one has said yet. n/t

2. One or more came from the MIT police officer.

They were saying on TV today that that was the reason they shot him-- for his gun(s). I don't know if he had more than a handgun, but remember hearing about a "long" gun a couple of days ago.

Haven't heard any reports on where their "first" gun came from. Some have speculated from gun shows in neighboring states. I think that the older one had enough shady connections that he could have obtained one on the streets.

On edit: This article about their guns just showed up on the Latest page: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022744343

Seems like as soon as you hear one thing, there is a conflicting report!

3. If everyone had pressure cookers...

This might not have happened.


Isn't that what they say every time there is a shooting.

5. Gun crowd and NRA keep it tough to track guns.

6. The PR & Marketing department are working on that one.

I think an NRA check bounced, causing a few of them to miss a few days off work. Once they are back at capacity, we will know more excruciating detail on that deferred question than we will ever want/need to know.
