Middle eastern men open fire on campers in California

[Jamnanc]

It was a light brown ghost gun.

Meh, it's California. If they tried that here, they'd get return fire and they know it.

Wait, no arrests made due to no laws being broken. What about the rifle missing the S/N?

California has had several bills introduced that would require those manufacturing a firearm to obtain a serial number but I don't think they have passed.

What's interesting is that these people were supposedly committing no crime at all, yet they all sit there in handcuffs.

There is a whole lot of vague reporting here. Multiple witnesses confirm these "men" fired multiple rounds in a populated camping area and no charges have been filed? Terrorist or not, this doesn't smell right.

I hit 8-12 different sites and all had the same info. Is there any "reliable" reporting on this?

As reported on other sites, the men were described as either target shooting, or shooting into the air, not shooting at or even near people.

My thought is that they were target shooting or plinking on public land, nervous nellie campers heard gunfire and "allahu akbars", promptly shat brix, and called the cops to say people were shooting at them, and probably also that their feels were hurt.

Had they actually been shooting AT people, or probably even shooting in the air, they'd have been arrested, not detained and released.

Sounds to me like maybe some details are being added to thicken the plot. Maybe they were yelling Allah whatever the hell they yell, and maybe they weren't, think of how many reports around here that get filed because some crazy guy in the national forest was shooting at people riding their bike or hiking, and it turns out to be a family out enjoying the outdoors and doing some plinking. These extremist have proven how secretive they are in their planning and training, so I just find it hard to believe that they got caught in the Cali desert training for the next big attack. Take away the Middle East factor and this is anyone of us out enjoying a nice day. Could it be something to be concerned about; sure it could, but then so could you make a case for keeping everyone on this forum under for surveillance because of our shooting and gun collecting habits.

This seems like the most plausible explanation to me too. A bunch of nervous nellies crying liberal tears that someone could possibly be using a gun in "their" California.

Honestly, it could happen to a bunch of us if we went out to NF or BLM land for a COAR shoot and some hippie called it in.
