California authorities have provided an update on weaponsused in the Monterey Park mass shooting when an unidentified (at the time) shot into a crowd of people in a dance studio during the Lunar New Year celebration. Then 12 people were killed and several people were injured.



During a press conference, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said two weapons were found near the Star Dance Ballroom Studio in Monterey Park, California: a Cobray Company semi-automatic 9mm MAC-10 and a Norinco 7,62 caliber handgun. .25xXNUMX mm.

The MAC-10 weapon was the main weapon used for shooting. And it was used by 72-year-old suspect Huu Kang Tran. He is believed to have stood at the door and fired 42 shots.

The weapon has been sent for examination to determine if it has been modified to increase its rate of fire.

It is reported that the shooting was carried out with the presence of a silencer.

Possession of a MAC-10 is generally illegal in California, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the US, especially regarding "assault weapons". However, a Californian is legally allowed to own one if it was purchased before the laws were tightened. The local law enforcement official did not specify when the suspect acquired the weapon and, based on that, whether it was legal to own it.

The sheriff also said the guns had a 30-round magazine and that the shooter changed magazines at some point during the attack. High-capacity magazines, defined by California law as anything containing more than 10 rounds, are illegal in the state.

The US Constitution recognizes the fundamental right of Americans to own firearms, the US Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed this right, but it also creates additional precedents for such crimes.

      Isn't he too old for jealousy? Well, anyway, it doesn't matter. This is a story about the fact that a society of "not slaves" cannot respond to the trick of an insane individual ..

    The shooter's name looks suspicious. It’s not a provocation with the aim of inflating the Chinese threat, and Norinko is so on topic. And it’s hard to believe that the states are exporting Chinese weapons to their market.

        Huu Can Tran is not Chinese but Vietnamese.

        Chinese immigrant of Vietnamese origin
        The shooter's name looks suspicious. Not a provocation to inflate the Chinese threat

        All the dead and injured are immigrants from China

        Hu Kang Tran shot down the dance studio he went to for many years and unsuccessfully tried to meet a woman
        Is he too old for jealousy?

        Asian males have the hardest time finding a mate in the US due to the small size of the instrument and a look that is considered unattractive

        Hu Kang Tran, in my opinion, has been lonely for the past 20 years and went through the roof

        In about 9/10 of the mass shooting - the reason is the loneliness of the shooter and the complete lack of attention from women. A problem that Russian men cannot even imagine

    For example, there is Switzerland ... Weapons, and army ones, are in the hands of everyone ... For 23 years since the beginning of the century, there have been 2 cases of mass shooting. Let there be an order of magnitude less people, but ...
    According to the definition of Everytown for Gun Safety ("any incident in which four or more people were shot and killed, excluding the shooter"), from 2009 to 2020, there were an average of 19 mass shootings per year in the United States, resulting in 947 people were injured and 1363 were fatally injured

    Maybe this "super best society" is stupidly sick in the head?

    IN AND. Lenin once said: "... now there is no need to be afraid of a man with a gun, because he defends the working people and will be merciless in suppressing the rule of the exploiters." In the American version, it turns out that you need to be afraid and afraid every day. The truth about the fact that "it will be merciless in suppressing the domination of the exploiters" among the Americans remains in question

      It's amazing how in the USA, with so many weapons on hand, their moneybags do not suffer! Is wealth so respected there, or is squealing so developed? After all, there were no armed rebellions. Like everyone is satisfied with capitalism?

    So you get to the real moneybag horseradish - everywhere they walk and drive with guards. Dances are not attended. And if they started to bring them down, they would immediately lobbied for a ban on the sale of weapons. And then they thought of this - to sell assault rifles in a store, to whom and why? They all went crazy there.

    And in general, in recent years there has been a clear trend - the emphasis is not on the quality, but on the number of those killed. Therefore, more and more automatics and semi-automatics are in use. And the rich rarely gather in a bunch.

    Generally speaking, the rich simply do not realize how lucky they are in this life ...
