From his cold, not quite dead hands

The Jews were coming to get his guns, so he shot a black man. The Times reporters can explain why this "lone wolf" did it, but they can't seem to wrap their head around how.

Local and federal authorities in Washington said Thursday that they were focusing on Mr. von Brunn’s intentions and how he got the rifle. Because of his felony conviction in the crime at the Federal Reserve, he was prohibited by federal law from buying or possessing a gun. But Mr. von Brunn could have had the rifle, described by the authorities as “an older weapon,” since well before his conviction.

Mr. von Brunn brought a .22-caliber rifle and a .30-30 rifle when he moved into an apartment in Annapolis, Md., two years ago, according to the affidavit. The police recovered the .30-30 as well as ammunition for a .22 from his bedroom after the museum attack.

Um, google "ashcroft gun shows," okay? It may lead you right back to your own newspaper!
