CNN Writes Entire Article on How Manhattan Shooter Wasn’t Disqualified from Owning Gun

CNN Writes Entire Article on How Manhattan Shooter Wasn’t Disqualified from Owning Gun
SHARE

One of many questions asked in the wake of a mass killing is how the killer got his weapon, but only so long as the massacre is carried out with a firearm. Literally no one asked how the terrorist in New Orleans who plowed into people on New Year’s Eve/Day got his car, but on a shooting? Absolutely.





And, of course, CNN is always going to delve deeply into the story…even when it’s not a story.

That’s precisely what they did on Saturday with a headline that read, “The Manhattan shooter had a previous arrest and 2 psychiatric holds, sources say. How was he able to own a gun?”

That’s right, how could he own a gun?

And yet, they have to admit that there wasn’t really anything to disqualify him from owning one.

The gunman who walked into a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday, M4 assault-style rifle in hand, and sprayed it with gunfire, had a license to carry a concealed weapon in his home state of Nevada, officials said.

He also had been placed on psychiatric hold in 2022 and 2024, law enforcement sources told CNN. But that may not have necessarily prohibited him from obtaining his license in 2022 or buying firearms – depending on the circumstances of the holds, according to gun law experts.

…

[The killer] was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing in 2023 in Clark County, Nevada, after he refused to leave a Las Vegas casino after attempting to cash out about $5,000, according to a police incident report. A court database suggests a district attorney declined to pursue the case, meaning the incident wouldn’t have prevented him from obtaining a gun.

The case also throws private gun sales under the microscope.





Except they just acknowledged that he was most likely able to buy a gun at a gun store, since psychiatric holds aren’t necessarily something that makes one prohibited–a 72-hour hold is meant to determine if someone is a danger to themselves or others. It’s not a declaration they are, and thus doesn’t necessarily label someone as prohibited–and his one arrest was a big old nothing, too.

And, for the record, even if he’d been prosecuted for that trespassing charge, it’s a misdemeanor that’s not a domestic violence charge. He’d still be able to buy a gun after that.

There’s nothing here, and yet, CNN has to “ask questions” and put them in the headlines because they’re not trying to report here. They’re not interested in conveying the information that he wasn’t prohibited. They want you to be concerned. They want people afraid. 

More importantly, they want to do everything they can to leverage this shooting to push federal gun control laws.

Yes, I’m accusing them of trying to manipulate the American public into supporting regulations, but then again, I’m not the first, and this isn’t even the first time I’ve done it. They’re scum because they want to make it look like anyone who ever has mental health issues should be disqualified from owning a firearm ever. That would take a lot of good, decent people out of the equation when it comes to the Second Amendment, which is by design, and it’s not because of a shooting like this.





It’s because they don’t trust us. They don’t like us. They don’t want us to be able to resist whatever it is they want down the road.

Frankly, they should get used to disappointment.
