August 20, 20197 yr It gets tiresome, pointing out the media's misuse of gun-related terminology, but this article manages to fabricate a few terms that I'd not seen before. new fearmongering from NJ.com I've got no problem with this guy getting convicted on the drug charges, and since he was already a convicted felon, he shouldn't have had the guns. And some of the magazines do seem to be illegal under NJ's ill-conceived firearms laws. The article does its' best to make it sound like his possession of white supremacist literature was another criminal offense (apparently confusing 'disturbing' with 'illegal'), but it is the verbiage they use to describe the guns and accessories that really stands out. The man is accused of possessing, among other things: "a semi-automatic assault handgun" "a 9 mm semi-automatic assault pistol" "two barrels sawed off from a double barrel shotgun" "a sight for an assault rifle" "a stripped AR15 bolt carrier" "several solid and hollow point bullets" "silencer tubes" (?) "a ballistics vest" So now we've got some body of readers wringing their hands over the fact that he was able to possess "several" bullets, and ready to demand that sights and tubes be added to the list of things they want banned and confiscated.
August 20, 20197 yr The guy is an obvious douche and deserves what he gets. 40 minutes ago, 10X said: The article does its' best to make it sound like his possession of white supremacist literature was another criminal offense (apparently confusing 'disturbing' with 'illegal'), but it is the verbiage they use to describe the guns and accessories that really stands out.

A stripped AR15 assault bolt carrier you say?!?!?!??!!!????!!?? OMFG, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT????.....BAN IT !!! Who wants to bet that, "Police seized a semi-automatic assault handgun, a 9mm semi-automatic assault pistol with a high-capacity magazine, [and] a loaded 9mm pistol", all refers to the same pistol. I also loved the obvious slant that white male racists are the majority of those n possession of illegal scary "assault firearms". The new left agenda is; everything is racist, everyone is racist (if you're white), and all gun owners are racist and dangerous... The Racist/ Gunz-R-Bad platform of the left will be ramped up for this election cycle. Getting readers wringing their hands is exactly what is intended. Stoking the fear of the ignorant to insure candidates that share their view and agenda get elected. Beautiful.
August 20, 20197 yr Life in prison for drug trafficking? I looked it up and found a 20 year maximum sentence. Besides, Bernie Sanders wants these folks OUT of prison!
August 20, 20197 yr I'm going to need to see pictures of this grenade launcher. Also, if two barrels were sawed off of a double barrel shotgun, wouldn't that make it a no barrel shotgun? In all seriousness, we who practice the way of the gun are appalled by this stuff, but the common ignorant folks eat it up, which is exactly what the article is intended to do. Sad more than funny...

That one was weird, because there was no mention of finding a sawed-off shotgun (and they would have mentioned it!). Just the sawed-off barrels. So, if found in possession of a sawed-off shotgun AND the sawed-off barrels, does that demonstrate constructive intent to weld up a legal shotgun? :-)
August 21, 20197 yr From the article: "If convicted of the most serious charge... Rubino faces a maximum of life in prison." That would be possession of the stripped AR15 bolt carrier, right??
August 21, 20197 yr Here's a more descriptive list on what they found: Intratec Arms Model TEC-DC9 semi-automatic assault handgun Cobray Arms Mac-11 9mm semi-automatic assault pistol with a high-capacity magazine Keltec CMR30 .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle loaded with 16 .22 caliber hollow-point cartridges High Standard Derringer .22 caliber double-barrel handgun Polymer 80 9mm semi-automatic handgun Ithaca M-66 20-gauge single shotgun Remington Model 700 .223 caliber bold action rifle with scope Thompson Center .50 caliber muzzle-loading rifle with scope Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12-gauge pump shotgun New England Firearms 20-gauge single shot shotgun Remington Model 760 .300 Savage pump rifle Glenfield Mod 60 .22 LR caliber semi-automatic rifle Two sawed-off double-barrel shotgun barrels Several high-capacity magazines Numerous silencers An assault rifle scope A grenade launcher A ballistics vest Numerous additional ammunition of various calibers. "Rubino was also in possession of a box containing clothing and bumper stickers with 'SS Bolts,' which are common white supremacist and neo-Nazi symbols, as well as a document entitled'N****r Owner's Manual,' containing racist material and purporting to be an instruction manual for owning a slave," Carpentio said. Rubino has been charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He will appear in federal court in Newark at a later date, Carpenito said. https://patch.com/new-jersey/morristown/weapons-arsenal-slave-owners-manual-found-nj-home-feds
August 21, 20197 yr Who sends out the gun control talking points memo? Here's a paragraph from the NJ Herald: "Authorities said they seized from the vehicle a semi-automatic assault handgun, a 9mm semi-automatic assault pistol with a high-capacity magazine, a loaded Smith & Wesson pistol, two sawed-off double-barrel shotgun barrels, a sight for an assault rifle, a stripped AR-15 bolt carrier, several rounds of high-capacity ammunition including 9mm hollow point cartridges and 12 magazines filled with 9mm solid point cartridges. Authorities also found a set of brass knuckles, a wooden ax handle, a wooden baseball bat and a wooden club." Was this identical list released by the police or simply copied from a MSM email directive?
August 21, 20197 yr 4 hours ago, 45Doll said: Authorities also found a set of brass knuckles, a wooden ax handle, a wooden baseball bat and a wooden club." Actually, according to the FBI chart below, those items are more deadly than AR15s..... just sayin...
August 21, 20197 yr No doubt he was going to put his assault rifle scope on his assault muzzle loader.
August 21, 20197 yr 6 minutes ago, Krdshrk said: So..... a scope? No no no. An ass-salt scope has a pepr mount.
August 22, 20197 yr 14 minutes ago, Sniper said: Actually, according to the FBI chart below, those items are more deadly than AR15s..... just sayin... So firearm related deaths went up sharply for '16 & '17 even with the new common sense gun laws?
