So far they’re just saying “AR platform” which could mean anything.
I hate how news agencies do that shit. People who don’t know anything about guns see that and see “big scary automatic military rifle with 1 gajillion round magazine”. Where in reality a ton of guns from tiny handguns to .50 beowulf big game rifles use the “AR platform” just because it’s an old enough design to be public domain. Saying it’s an AR platform gun tells us exactly nothing.
Also how the hell does he wind up still going to that school after he already threatened to shoot the place up? At least when I was going to school anything even close to that would get you kicked out and put in the special troubled kid school.

Yup, and since he snuck it into a school, most likely an AR pistol…
That his dad bought for him 7 months after he threatened to shoot up a school. 😳

Most likely.

I don’t think it was the same school… they had family trouble, moved a bunch, got evicted.
Ah, that makes much more sense.
