This article is riddled with factual errors. This one paragraph has several:
"In November, records show he used it (his CCW) to purchase a handgun and an M&P 15 assault-style rifle.
On December 19 he used it to buy another assault rifle.
On December 21 he purchased a .40 caliber handgun.
On Jan. 9, 2017, he bought another assault-style rifle..."
A CCW permit has nothing whatsoever to do with the process of purchasing any rifle or shotgun. (The same error is repeated regarding shotgun purchases later in the article.) It is never legal to conceal a rifle or shotgun, even if one has a CCW license.
Similarly, the Brady law affected handguns only. And it passed in 1993, not 1994 as the article claimed.
