        @WSJ "It is unclear whether Mr. Holmes' rifle had those features which would have then qualified the weapon for the federal ban."

        @WSJ The AR-15 was never banned. Only "Scary looking" versions were banned. The rifle was still sold during the so called ban.

        @WSJ There are other examples of federal restrictions over the years and recently. Restricted doesn't always mean right or fair

        @WSJ a Glock is semi-auto. So if he couldn't have bought AR15 he would've had others. Weak reporting & failed attempt at a political agenda.

        @WSJ It would have been fully able to kill the same people even if it hadnt been restricted. Fact is, he shouldnt have had a gun.

        @WSJ This story is full of errors. For one, hi-cap mags were not "illegal" during the ban, only the manufacture of them. Please correct.
