FBI Director: The Assassin's Gun Was Legally Bought and Then Sold to Him

Which only serves as proof to Democrat gun-grabbers that all guns, legally or illegally purchased, must be outlawed.

In a testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed that Thomas Crooks' family had over a dozen firearms in their Bethel Park, Pennsylvania home. Fox News reported that Matthew Crooks, Thomas' father, legally sold the AR-style rifle to his son, which was later used in the assassination attempt on former President Trump.

"We located a number of firearms associated with the shooter and his family," Wray stated, noting there were a total of 14 guns in the house. "The weapon that he used for the attempted assassination was an AR-style rifle that was purchased legally," Wray added. "We believe, based on what we've seen, that his father, after purchasing the gun, legally sold the gun to his son."

Thomas Crooks was described as a "fairly avid shooting enthusiast" by Wray during his testimony. In addition to the AR-15 and magazines for the rifle, law enforcement found a bulletproof vest and crude explosive devices in his car after he was neutralized by a Secret Service sniper.

The FBI director mentioned that the agency is still searching for a manifesto or other writings that could shed light on the 20-year-old Crooks' motive.

lol, sure

"The attempted assassination of the former president was an attack on our democracy," Wray emphasized on Wednesday, acknowledging the significant public and congressional interest in the case. He noted that the FBI has already conducted over 400 interviews as part of their extensive investigation.
