Pentagon shooter’s gun confuses Post readers
The Washington Post‘s Josh White and Sari Horwitz wrote an article this morning about the trail of one of John Patrick Bedell’s handgun this morning that purposely misleads Washington Post’s readers.
The Sturm, Ruger & Co. 9mm gun ended up with Bedell, 36, not long before he opened fire at the Pentagon’s Metro entrance March 4, officials said. Law enforcement officials aren’t sure how Bedell got the weapon, but they were able to track it to a Las Vegas gun show, where it was sold last year to a private individual.
The implication is clear for anti-gun Nazis – the gun was bought at a gunshow, and therefore, the NRA is at fault for the gun ending up in the hands of Bedell. Take this comment as an example of the knee-jerk gun-grabbers who read the Washington Post;
It is fairly clear the loophole – sales at gun shows NOT being regulated needs to be changed!
How about only allow guns sold illegally the third Tuesday in Oct on even years in states that end with the letter S – so absurd and ridiculous the damn loopholes need to end.
Yes, a legal gun show sale between a legitimate buyer and seller is at fault for Bedell’s short-lived rampage. Never mind that the gun changed hands several times since the gun show sale, the gun shows need to be more heavily regulated.
One especially over reacting Post reader says guns should be outlawed;
As I’ve said before, guns should be outlawed. Change the Constitution– by means of a referendum and Government action. In this instance, the police actually made a profit by selling a confiscated gun on, back into the hands of another wrong-doer
I wonder if he realizes that the police ARE the government.

“As I’ve said before, guns should be outlawed. Change the Constitution–”
Hey you stupid sheep, you’d better ban lathes and other machine shop implements, too! I’ve built single shot zip guns in an hour, the better stuff, ie. P.A. Luty’s goody, just takes a little longer!
And then they’d have to pass a law to restrict the sale of PVC and metal piping to licensed plumbers. Serials numbers on every section, etc. You would also need to restrict sales of nails and other fasteners to licensed carpenters. Batteries, wire and solder could only be sold to licensed electricians. Lord knows it’s the only way to keep people from making pipe bombs.
Of course, since gunpowder would be outlawed, you’d also have to halt sales of strike matches, and butane lighters, and butane.
Then, of course, you’d have to keep people from using knives instead of guns, so that would mean restricting sales of steak knives, and other cutlery to licensed chefs and butchers.
It’s for the children, you know?
Yes, outlaw guns just like the UK–that’s worked really well for them so far.
Why can’t we just amend the Constitution and outlaw stupid?
By all means, let’s change the constitution to allow “referendums” so that we can change the constitution. These people are weapons-grade stupid.
Not a good story for big-gov’t fans… sold the piece for doughnut money, but their union rep won’t let ’em say that to anyone.
