CNN is reporting he possibly used a 3d printed ghost gun and suppressor? That's interesting if true. Would explain the problems he had firing. Get ready for an "outcry" on 3d gun regulation in 3.2.1
Also, part of me thinks he was trying to get caught now. Manifesto at the ready, sat inside the McDonald's to eat, waited to get ID'd. Maybe he saw the writing on the wall with Eric Adam's announcing "we have a name, but not releasing it" and he just wanted a last meal.
Idk, just doesn't fit with how meticulously he planned this shit, up until sitting in a McDonald's when there's food in a market to eat, and less concentrated eyes.
