It’s a Chinese SKS. Those haven’t been imported for a while. My guess is, like most crime guns, it’s been on the streets for a while.

I am still interested in more details about this:

The governor acknowledged that the gun that killed Liczbinski was brought into the country “well before that action,”

Which, in turn, means Rendell (and Nutter) are lying or clueless, no?

Hard to tell with those two.

So, to give our police the best protection possible, we are going to pass ineffective laws that had documentably insignificant effects on crimes and were (and still are, in Kalifornistan) easily avoidable by someone with a working knowledge of firearms, tools, and the legislation.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I wonder if politicians such as this schmuck understand just how despicable their blood-dancing is… Sadly, emotion rules these days, and they are becoming masters at wielding it.

Whew! After years of explotation of “assault weapons mania,” the anti-freedom collectivist gun grabbers have finally convinced the thugs of Philly to actually use one of the darn things in a crime. Quite a victory.

And why would anyone be surprised that that other Philly thug, Rendell, would do his victory lap in the poor officer’s blood and right on over the dignity of his family.

Along with being an un-abashed crook, “Fast Eddie” is a pathetic example of man-hood. He wouldn’t recognize dignity if it ran over HIM.

I don’t know if Rendell knows, but the police aren’t “out there every day” to protect us, nor do they have a constitutional duty to do so, as was ruled by SCOTUS a few years ago. What’s more, the police carry guns to protect themselves. What gives the police more rights to protect themselves than law-abiding citizens wanting to do the same?

I just read a few news reports which said the robber used an SKS. Which wasn’t covered by the expired AWB. Which, in turn, means Rendell (and Nutter) are lying or clueless, no?

And yet when Fast Eddie had the opportunity, he declined to really support the police by frying Mumia.
