Apparently you can fill out a form to check your gun into your luggage, unloaded. My question is, how did he get his bullets through security coming from Canada? Or did someone else stash bullets in the bathroom so he could load up?

Yahoo article now says he was born in New Jersey, lived in Alaska. So no speculation needed on any connections with terrorist groups. A terrorist would not have checked his gun.

And if a U.S. Senator identified him, hopefully he will be asked questions by police. I can understand police not returning fire when shooter was emptying his clip, in fear of hitting other bystanders.

you can check ammunition as long as it is safely packaged so that nothing can strike a primer

@DennisinPeoria
They have pretty much confirmed that he flew from Anchorage to Minneapolis and on to Fort Laudedale. Apparently, the ammunition has to b checked in a diffeent suitcase than the firearm.To check it all you need to have permits in both the originating state of travel and destination.

Yet more people were shot/shot and killed over Christmas weekend in Chicago and where is the media? Turning a blind eye and stuffing their face with figgy pudding and prime rib.

@DennisinPeoria :

You may have been a little premature Dennis in your haste to relieve Islam of any responsibility.

The public records uncovered in the days after the massacre suggest Santiago (Hammad) is a radical Islamic terrorist that’s seriously committed to Islam. Besides taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including the Muslim declaration faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum. The investigative news site that unearthed this disturbing information connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007.

This week a prominent Ft. Lauderdale businessman and longtime resident addressed a letter to the city’s mayor and commissioners blasting county and federal officials for covering up that “Aashiq Hammad, not Esteban Santiago, attacked our city and county.” The businessman, respected Ft. Lauderdale real estate entrepreneur Jim Morlock, specifically names Broward County’s elected sheriff Scott Israel, Florida senator Bill Nelson, the first to identify Santiago as the shooter on national television, and congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ousted last summer as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair over a scandalous plot to damage Bernie Sanders during the primary.

“Since when does a US Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so quickly release this terrorist’s Hispanic name but nothing about his more relevant Islamic background?” the letter asks. Obama must have told Sen. Nelson to keep this from looking like a Muslim Terrorist attack during the last 12 days of his watch. Bad for his legacy.” Morlock goes on to state that it’s “better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence.” The real estate entrepreneur proceeds to reveal that Santiago lives in walking distance to the only mosque in Alaska, was radicalized before he entered the military and was knowingly allowed to serve despite his Islamic sympathies thanks to “Obama’s PC military.”

ISIS is not the same thing as Islam.

Just as the Army of God is not the same thing as Christianity.

You're the only one that mentioned ISIS. There is such as thing as ISLAMIC TERRORISM that has nothing to do with ISIS. Try to keep up.

Its sad that freedom for some is not the same for all. I guess the only way to stop gun violence is to give everyone a gun. The system we got today is not working.
