Synagogue hostage situation: how'd he buy the gun?
Surprise, the hostage-taker bought it from a convicted felon. Look for that story to be buried.

Is this some indignation? I've been a prohibited possessor most of my life = no prob at all getting all sorts of guns and rifles. No prob at all. Just a few years ago I petitioned a court to get my gun rights back = I did. For more than 40 years I bought and sold under the table no problem at all so this fuck coming to USA and getting a piece within hours for the right kind of cash = easy. Very easy.
Per Old Guy's suggestion - the gun was legally purchased by an ordinary citizen before it was stolen and passed through a series of felons until the last one gave it to the illegal alien felon who used when taking hostages.
For a "journalist", that's the same as the gun being "legally purchased."
One wonders how the Feds found this guy so quickly. Purchaser was dead, there was no paper trail and the seller would have no incentive to come forward. Suspicious me guesses this guy was already in custody for something worse and this was a plea deal. He may have actually had nothing to do with the case but pled anyway so the Feds could "close" the case. My other suspicions are all worse than this.
They might spin it by saying the felon got it from a "legal" in the first place
