Details on Santa Monica Shooting, Fire Emerge

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


LOS ANGELES - John Zawahri, who killed five people in a rampage in Santa
Monica last week, apparently built his own assault weapon, using it to shoot
his father and brother before he set fire to their family home, officials
said Thursday.

Two officials who were briefed on the investigation said the semi-automatic
weapon appears to have been built with component parts that are legal to
obtain, but put together make the rifle illegal in California. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly
about the investigation.

The finding about the component parts was first reported by radio station
KFI-AM.

The 23-year-old Zawahri's 15-minute midday rampage June 7 spanned a mile
between his father's home, where his father and brother were shot to death,
and Santa Monica College, where police killed him in the library. Along the
way, he fired at vehicles and strangers, fatally wounding three people. One
other person was seriously wounded and two others had minor injuries.

On Thursday, an official close to the investigation said the fire at
Zawahri's father's home, which erupted soon after neighbors heard shots
fired, was intentionally set.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information
had not yet been publicly released, said the fires were started in a front
living room and atop one of two twin beds in a room of the house.

Several boxes of matches were also found in the bedroom.

Firefighters found the bodies of the gunman's father and brother in a
bedroom that was uninvolved in the blaze. The house was found unkempt with
files and papers scattered throughout, providing ample kindling.

In Zawahri's bedroom, investigators found a drill press among other
materials that indicate he likely assembled the weapon.

The drill press is used to help finish building the rifle by drilling holes
in the lower receiver. A lower receiver that is only 80 percent complete can
easily be purchased, and because it is not complete, a person isn't required
to go through a background check, nor does the part need to have a serial
number.

In California such weapons require a "bullet button" kit, which needs to be
added to a lower parts kit to make it legal. The bullet button kit modifies
the weapon so that a separate tool must be used to release an ammunition
magazine and reload the gun; without such a modification a person can press
a button to release the magazine.

Zawahri was carrying 1,300 rounds of ammunition in magazines that were
capable of holding 30 rounds each. Such high-capacity magazines are illegal
to purchase, sell or transfer in California. Possession is not illegal.

Zawahri's last reported contact with law enforcement was seven years ago,
when bomb-making materials were found at his house during a search prompted
by threats to students, teachers and campus police officers at Olympic High,
a school for students with academic or disciplinary issues.

Retired police officer Cristina Coria, who helped serve the search warrant,
said Zawahri was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation at the time. She
didn't know the outcome of the evaluation.

Police declined to provide further details, saying Zawahri was a minor at
the time. But once a person is held for such an exam, they cannot access or
possess firearms for five years.

In the case of Zawahri, that prohibition would have expired in 2011.

The Santa Monica-Malibu school board was briefed at the time by school
administrators after police found Zawahri was learning to make explosives by
downloading instructions from YouTube, school board member Oscar de la Torre
said.

Imagine, a lunatic was able to buy parts, nearly complete, so he could
modify his weapon.
He had 1500 rounds and a large number of magazines.

Who's crazy he or Americans for allowing this nut case such easy access to
weapons that belong on a battlefield?

Sid would feel better if the Jihad NUT went to Wal-Mart and bought a
Pressure cooker and used that.

Problem is Sid could never follow the instructions to build a Pressure
cooker. SO it's less dangerous when you think about the fact an idiot
like Sid can't put one together.

The Boston Bomber proved that it takes at least a junior high education
so Sid and his Liberal ilk can't do it without some internet
instructions and that will trigger an NSA subpoena.

One, you can't post for shit.

Two, California has very strict gun control laws, yet this idiot was able to
build a gun from scratch in his mother's basement AND he has precisely the
profile that _everybody_ accepts is the profile of a person that should not
have guns.

This only proves that gun laws do not affect the very criminals that one
wants them to affect, yet they do affect law abiding citizens in an adverse
manner that makes it easier for those that are intended to have restricted
access not be restricted at all. Crooks and mentally disturbed people ignore
gun laws, giving the upper hand against law abiding citizens.

Gun Control does not work.

And your point?

He may have violated some law, most likely in possessing hi-cap post
ban magazines. But it is possible to legally build your own gun.

If this pisses you off, I'd like to hear what set of new laws would
prevent a douchebag Muslim from doing it.

The death RATE from firearms in CA is much lower than that in Louisiana.

"...Louisiana, Alaska and Alabama have the highest levels of gun violence,
based on measures that include firearm deaths, suicides, homicides, and
police officials feloniously killed by guns.

Hawaii, Massachusetts and Connecticut had the lowest rates of gun violence,
and were among the 10 states with the strongest gun laws, the study found

Hawaii had the fewest firearm deaths in 2010, at 3.31 per 100,000

He modified a legal gun into an illegal gun with easy to buy parts that are

New laws would require lunatics to be tested.

I did not argue that.

I said that the law is supposed to prevent the exact conditions that are in
play in Santa Monica. The crook or bad guy built a gun from scratch in his
mother's basement, then used it to kill 6 people, 2 of whom are his own
immediate family.

Gun control does not work.

California has the strongest gun laws in the country. It also has the 3rd
highest crime rate where a gun is involved, if another poster here gave us
correct data.

What's more is that you can use a 3/D printer to make a plastic gun and
if "you" don't know it already..... a CNC milling machine is basically a
3/D printer that prints out metal parts.


The horse is out of the barn and it's too late to close the door,
average honest law abiding people can make their own guns.

And now a gun doesn't need to look like a gun... The world just became
1000 times more interesting. "We the People" might just become the

Winston; you'd think survival would begin with paying attention to the
environment around you..... including what the politics are.


You need to know what the hell kind of disaster you're trying to survive
don't you?


If it's economic or war or some other man made Liberal apocalypse. We
talk about plastic guns and gun laws, how more survival can it get? We
talk Obama and his economics and how it's similar to Chaveznistas in
Venezuela where they recently ran out of chickens and toilet paper.
Those are the things you'll most likely need to survive just before the
whole thing turns totally to shit.


If you're stocking up and prepping.... what the hell are you prepping
for? The most recent and likely problem to erupt is our own sorry
government its self and the most likely problem will be from our own
corrupt government and survival will be dependent on what you know about
the cause and how you prepare to survive that. Didn't the Jews in
Germany make the same survival mistake you're making, they ignored their
own government and planned for their disaster coming from outside
Germany and look what that got them. Obama has your number and I don't
mean just figuratively, he really has your phone number......

Pay attention.


Either that or you're just a nut hiding in the closet.

By the way, you can use a "group" filter on your personal NEWS GROUP
program that will remove all unwanted posts in your own NEWS READER and
I looked in mine just now to see if you can filter by NEWS GROUP and I
have the capability to filter out cross-posts with multiple GROUPS if I
want. *THIS IS HOW YOU SURVIVE IN THE REAL WORLD* So if you cross
post into my "alt.fine.china.collectors" group I can simply filter out
alt.survival and I will never see your posts. See all the things you

Sorry to barge in, while I am off topic for your group, I think it is just
as bad form to remove groups from a cross post as to add new groups in. I
never add to the groups and I only delete groups when my crappy news server
balks at crossposting to more than 4 groups.

When I get the chance to please my server by deleting groups, I'll watch for
this one and try to make a point of cutting you guys out of my politics.

Now that I'm here, are you guys about what I see on TV as doomsday preppers?
Building shelters, collecting rainwater, those sorts of things?

Nope, he did not modify a legal gun. He built a gun.

The "receiver" is the "gun". All the other stuff such as barrels, triggers,
bolts, springs, etc. are completely legal gun parts.

He bought a chunk of metal with some machining already done and some holes
drilled. He converted that chunk of metal into a receiver (a gun) by doing
some additional work.

His chunk of metal did not have a serial number. If he had bought a "legal
gun" it would have had a serial number when he bought it.

I don't have enough info to know if his gun was legal in CA. His work on
the receiver was certainly legal, but he may have jazzed it up in an illegal
manner. The news reports are unclear on the subject.

Face it Sid, you don't know squat about guns. You only have the irrational
fear of the evil rays that emit when you think about a gun.

So what about the INCREASE in violent crime that I would have to deal
with if guns were outlawed. The Violent crime rate in the notorious
anti-gun countries of the UK, AU, and NZ have skyrocketed since they
took away the peoples right to defend themselves. The UK has the
highest violent crime rate in all of the EU, far higher then the
violent crime rate in the US. But you won't hear that reported in the
lamestream media. Studies show that people in the UK, AU, and NZ are
far more fearful of walking around after dark than the people in the
US. Why do you suppose that is. Yet you want me to give up the only
decent protection I can have against criminals. Guns in the US
PREVENT somewhere between 700,000 and 2.5 million crimes a year. If
citizens didn't have guns those crimes would happen. Do you condone
an increase in violent crimes? If you want to take away our guns you
do so condone.

I see you can't provide any valid argument that you need to be
licence. The Media all need to be licensed too - they are doing
tremendous damage to the US by their uncontrolled spewing of lies.
They need to be licensed and controlled by the US gvt so that they
only report things that are "true". That's the world you are pushing
for only you are too blind to see it. People like you want to take
away our rights to anything you don't like regardless of any facts or
law or the constitution.

We should just get rid of the whole constitution and let the gvt
decide everything for us. Why have elections at all? Lets just let
the know it alls control everything. What a perfect world we'd have
if we could just get rid of that pesky constitution.

http://www.change.org/petitions/the-u-s-senate-force-the-un-to-remove-it-s-twisted-gun-statue-by-blocking-funding



The UN is attempting to strip Americans of their gun rights thru the
UN "Small Arms Treaty." The language of this treaty was developed in
secret and all gun rights organizations and individuals were kept from
participating. There is no doubt that the UN does not want the average
citizen to be able to defend themselves with the best means available,
personal firearms. If you doubt that, just look at the statue in the
main plaza of the UN. It's not a tank's main gun that's tied in a
knot. It's a uniquely American revolver -- closely resembling a Smith
& Wesson, if not an exact copy. In other words, a defensive handgun.
An icon of American independence. This is an insult to US history and
the majority of honest gun owning US citizens. Any further US funding
to the UN should be stopped until such time as the twisted gun statue
is removed from the main plaza of the UN and destroyed.

========================

When people sign the petition it sends an email to John McCain asking
him to push for withholding of funds till the UN takes the statue
down.

Sorry, Sid.

The article clearly states "semi-automatic". The battlefield version
of that weapon is an "automatic"

Do you think there's a possibility that this nut case could bought the parts
and modified the weapon for fully automatic operation.

Otherwise why 1500 rounds and multiple magazines in his bag?

My opinion: That's what I believe he did. That's what I believe man gun
lovers have done.
It's easy. Requires little skill. Most of the work is done for you

Have you shot an AR-15 and an M-16


A military M-16 has forward assist and chambers the bullet much faster
and it is continuous fire... You can empty a clip with one pull on the
trigger, not so on an AR-15.

Why do you seek to ban the military rifle anyways? What is the purpose?
Do you think there were no criminals in 1776? Shouldn't the founders
have banned guns and allowed only swords for home protection and
personal use? What makes you smarter than the founders?


You keep talking guns, so we can "all" see your genius on this specific
subject.

Legally in California, 150 10 round magazines or 150 reloads of one 10 round
magazine. Or perhaps he has some pre-ban grandfathered magazines of larger
capacity.

And by the way, 1500 rounds isn't very many. It would take about 4 months
for me to shoot that much....100 rounds per week minimum. If you own more
than one caliber gun, you might keep 1000-2000 rounds in stock for each
caliber. So an active gun hobbyist might have 5000-15000 rounds at hand.
BFD.

What the hell is your issue. The gun didn't kill anybody. The nutjob did
it all himself. Take away his gun access, and he would resort to bombs,
machetes, etc.

Sid...what a dufus you are. The above statement is so dumb, it doesn't
deserve a reply.
But here goes, in the hope that facts may penetrate your thick hoplophobic
skull.

The 800 rounds/min refers to the shortest time between two successive
rounds. That does NOT mean that you can fire 800 rounds in one minute. And
that figure is for the military full-auto version...a "real" assault weapon.
The barrel gets extremely hot if even 30 rounds are rapidly fired.
Maximum semiauto rate of fire is typically 45 rounds per minute, and maximum
sustained fire is 12/15 rounds per minute. If you want to actually hit a
target, 15 rounds per minute is about right for a maximum.

The rates of fire you are projecting will quickly damage the rifle.

30 round/800 rounds/min can be emptied in a minimum of 2.25
seconds....especially for a shooter who is suicide bound.

Your 15 rounds/min empties a 30 rd magazine in 2 minutes.
He had 1300 to 1500 rounds and additional magazines, I assume loaded.


I suppose he was a hunter or target shooter ....or what?

Perhaps you could tell me what recreational activity he pursued?

For an AR-15 that requires 30 trigger pulls. Can you do that in 2.25
seconds?
Even if you could shoot 30 rounds at 800 per minute, it is a waste of 29
rounds which went in the air.

You still don't have a clue about guns.

# Your 15 rounds/min empties a 30 rd magazine in 2 minutes.

Well, the news reports vary. Who knows. But let's assume that he had 1500
rounds and enough magazines to hold them....so what?


# I suppose he was a hunter or target shooter ....or what?
# Perhaps you could tell me what recreational activity he pursued?

I have no idea. The recreational activity is irrelevant.

Why NOT a Machine gun target shooter? You have chilli eating contests
and beer drinking contests.


It really is NONE of your business any more than why someone wants to
buy a Pick-up truck rather than a Hybrid Honda.....


Someone could kill a bus load of kids with either vehicle. That's 20
kids dead in less than a heartbeat. NOT 2 minutes, but in the blink of
