This is looking like an episode South Park writers rejected for being too far out there.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Sorry but if you're on the Left then you have no right to deny the shooter's non-binary identity. You set a precedent here and we will hold you to it. You have to respect his identity. I don't. You do. These are your rules. Now take your medicine and shut up.

Nailed it.

(
A medical person measuring an extracted .22 LR bullet might report it as 5.56 mm.  Just noting this possibility.

Formal metric designation for .22 LR is 5.6×15mmR, a difference of 0.0016", less than 2 thousandths of an inch possibly measured with bloody gloved hands.
)


Yes, it is starting to sound like a bad 1950s Hollywood or TV script. Or, later, a convoluted-evidence Perry Mason episode.

If they're pulling out intact bullets I doubt they're 5.56. 5.56 at that range should fragment fairly consistently

Looks like they beat the crap out of him, sorry they/them.
Think they'll, the people who did this to they/them, be charged with a hate crime?

Note how they refer to him as they and them in the article

Looks like those girls have pretty long sharp nails.

That's what I was getting at.  An error due to incompetence. Or possibly by design, since "five-five-six" triggers fear-fear brain cells in the iggerant voting populace.

"Eeek, a 5.56!  We have to ban those assault long arms!"

"And did you know the rifle used by that guy has more than TWICE the twist of the regular army gun ? ! ?  That's right, it has 16 and only 7 for the army guns ! And you can buy them without a license?  We must limit that twist to only 7 ! "

I was theorizing earlier it could have been a 22.
Are you seeing something confirming that that I missed?

Do you think the non-shooting populace knows what caliber ARs are typically chambered for? I'm pretty sure twist rates are not even on their radar.

No, just confirming the posssibiity of an error in the direction of using the most damaging description ("5.56" versus ".22") for PR effect due to the diameter similarity. Basically, agreeing with you, and "here's why."

Of course not.  I was playing on their ignorance for humorous effect, as if one of their fuct-checkers discovered the relative twist rates of a .22 versus a 5.56:  "My God, his rifle had a 16 inch twist, and the military only has to use 7 inches-- that's TWICE as much than even the military needs !"

Hmmm.... accessory?  There must be something he could be charged with for abetting the criminal behavior of his son and to keep him from peeing in the pool any more.

I expect to see more of this as much of the media seems hellbent on blaming any and all groups considered to be on the right of any issue.

Quote
A sign outside the Focus on the Family facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was vandalized on Thanksgiving, just days after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ bar left five people dead and 17 wounded.

The morning of Nov. 24, officials reported graffiti at the facility that read: "Their blood is on your hands five lives taken." A piece of metal was left leaning against the large stone sign, which quoted 2 Corinthians 11:14-15.

Well so far I can find no photos of the rifle or any mention of brand or photos of spent shell casings which is unusual at this point.

What's the tie-in to Focus on the Family? Was the shooter affiliated with them, or is this just the woke community showing their love of humanity by hating Christians?

I think more of the former since they they're been trying to tie the shooting in with the Mormons, I think the family is Mormon or semi Mormon or something, but I see no mention of a Mormon connection with FOTF in the wiki article on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_on_the_Family

They are, or were, one of the most high-profile social conservative groups in the United States, and I think they're based in Colorado.

Funny how those pregnancy centers keep getting attacked, and we don't "have to have a national discussion" about pro-abortion extremism. Hmmm...

Funny how quickly they forgot the Orlando gay nightclub shooting where 49 were killed 53 wounded once it was revealed the shooter was Muslim.
Don't seem to recall the lefties blaming the Muslim community or attacking Mosques afterward either but instead called for tolerance of the Muslim community. Meanwhile gays are routinely executed in Muslim counties. But speak out against grooming, oh the horror!

Beating the ban "weapons of war" drum
Despite
Quote
Authorities haven’t provided details about the weapons used in the Club Q shooting.

In all the recent "mass" shootings" by now we knew details about the weapon(s) while they seem to be dragging their feet in this one.
The latest I've seen is they're still calling it an "AR-15 style" weapon. Makes me wonder if there's something about it they don't want us to know like it was a 22 as I speculated before. Note: Speculation

Anyhow

CO dems looking to bans "weapons of war", raise min age, "tweaks" to Red Flag laws. But at least they admit this in the article.
Quote
Fenberg, who said gun control conversations were underway even before the Club Q shootings, said a ban on so-called assault weapons is certainly a possibility. The challenge is figuring out how to write the complicated policy, including how to define what an assault weapon is, what should happen to such weapons that are already in the possession of Colorado residents and how to address people traveling to neighboring states to purchase weapons that would be prohibited in Colorado.

They are still referring to it as a "Ghost" gun".
Could have been, don't know because they're being usually tight lipped about the gun.


Quote
There has been no official word from law enforcement on exactly which, or how many, weapons were used in the lone shooter’s attack. But law enforcement said the suspect fired an AR-15-style rifle in Club Q.

Sunday, on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was asked about the weapons and he referenced media reports which said the alleged shooter used an unregistered ghost gun. The family has confirmed with The Gazette that Aldrich had a 3D printer and reportedly was working on making a ghost gun, but it is unknown what make of gun that may have been.

My guess is it's a pre-1968 .22 rifle that never had a serial number; maybe a Sears or Monkey Wards model.
