Update -
1 - Mall security says that they saw him come in with something wrapped up in a hooded sweatshirt, so the gun was concealed at least a bit when he got there. . .
2- Now the news folks are going back and forth between calling it an SKS and an AK47. . . I want to see a picture of the gun before I believe them. They will push the AK because it sounds better to them. It would be harder to hid an SKS over an AK since the AK is a much smaller gun length wise.
3- They are claiming he had 30 round mags for the gun, don't know if these are available in an SKS but are standard for an AK
4- Since he was a felon so can't legally own a gun it is looking like he stole it from someone in the family. . . So he is a thief along with having the felony drug conviction and he was due in court on something else in the near future. He was a winner all around.
5- And lastly we are hearing of how troubled a life he led like that is an excuse for his actions. . . Sorry folks, lots of people have sh%^ happen to them and don't go shoot up the local mall. I can't give him a free pass on this. . . . You pull the trigger by choice, you are responsible for your actions, no one else.
Again I say we should not use his name in any of the news, don't give this piece of dirt the fame he wanted.

Thats not necessarily true about the ak vs. sks. Assuming they are both the standard fixed stock rifles the ak would actually be harder to conceil because of the large capacity magazine. They have never produced a photograph of the firearm so we just dont know. my guess is it is probubly an sks and they are trying to talk it up as an ak to hype the gun control argument. Sks has a standard fixed 10 round magazine fed by stripper clips. You can remove the fixed magazine and install a large capacity detachable magazine. There is a chinese manufactured version that actually accepted straight ak mags. Also you can get a replacement stock that folds for conceilment. Too bad some good guys didnt have an ak or sks of their own. They could have stopped him. Incidents like this support less gun control not more. Its time for America to reach down grab its stones and start defending itself. Little bastards like this are everywhere they blame everyone else for their problems and failures because they are sheltered from failure into adulthood. Stop giving trophies to losers in school and stop giving them drugs for invented disorders.
OK, I stand corrected, I have seen the SKS at the gun store but don't own one. I do have a WASA 10 (civilian AK) and it is much shorter than my Enfield rifle. . . Never seen a SKS with a folding stock or 30 rd mag but I do live in the nanny state of MASS. . . .
