The gun didn't end up being an AR-15 it was a Sig Sauer MCX. Still semi-automatc though so that does apply. The shooter worked for a British security company that was commonly contracted by the US government. Sources say it was possible that he could have access to high grade military equipment.

Since when do you know guns?
-
Lol I had done research when this happened. On any ordinary day I honestly don't know a lot lol. Digging through old posts?
-
Came up with OP's tag ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if your "sources" are Alex Jones and any one of his hundreds of affiliates, then you sir are -blam!-ing stupid. I'm not disputing the fact that the story fed to us is utter bullshit. I'm just pointing out that your "sources" are 99% wrong about every theory they shovel out of their fearporn machines. once in a blue moon they get one right, but usually in a "I mentioned SOMETHING might happen in one of the 29 states I listed last month. told ya soooo". It's utter garbage. if you want REAL alternative media, look a bit deeper than info wars lol.

Yo, no hate man. I read over a bunch of sources. The ones listed were just a few of them.
-
Yep. I don't know where people got the idea that it was an AR-15 but they need to see this
-
The police initially had said the weapon was an AR-15 style weapon. Or something like that.
-
Which is functionally true. Milspec hardware with somewhat minimal modification to it for civilian purchase.
-
Exactly.
-
Bump for op to see
-
He worked for g4s in a community right down the road from me. He purchased his guns legally from the shooting range I shoot at frequently. I know the guy who sold him the guns. From what I've heard, he used weapons easily obtainable by civilians.
-
Yep, that's what it sounds like. Some misinformed people had said he fired over 1,000 rounds. But I think this is just the wild exaggeration that comes with events like this. So do you live in Orlando then?
-
Port St Lucie. The shooter worked not far from my house. He lived in ft pierce tho which is like the next town over. I drive past his parents house every day tho and there's been FBI and news stations there all week.

Crazy. Your state seems to be getting a lot of media attention lately.
