No way. That is a CROSMAN air rifle!
Pistol in pants? He is going to surprise his girlfriend? Should get the full length 20” 🤣!
At this point nobody should be riding BART unarmed
The most shocking part of this story is a Bart Security Officer was involved. They r usually hiding out waiting to retire!
Silly “man”, don’t you know there all the gun laws in California to make people feel safe?
Full auto and no stock is wild. 💀
he did it because he wanted to spend quality time with his buddies in jail.
That's not a rifle. It's a pistol.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” 🇺🇸
Perp was “the invisible man” but plenty of pictures of pistol. Thanks media
10” barrel rifles without stocks are classified as “pistols” according to the ATF, despite being able to shoot 5.56 / .223. It’s like your car legally being a tricycle now if you drive it without a wheel.
Thanks to the police for preventing any more incidents.
Nice mugshot.
18th century gun laws in the 21st century is why the USA is a Third World Country. Sad. Bigly!
All he was doing was asking who wanted to buy a chop for the low that’s hardly harassment.
Ktvu that’s hardly and AR15 style gun. That’s a call of duty type gun.
Dummies with firearms
All this talk about pistol/sbr doesn't matter. It's a machinegun, look above the selector at the autosear pin 😐
That’s quite the gun. Looks like this fellow was ready to rock ‘n’ roll.😮
BART – Bring AR on Train
That looks like a defensive pistol too me… What was the crime?
Go to one of them country bumpkin states isn't even a crime.
Yep, technically a pistol. Short barrel, no buttstock. Same receiver, same bullet, just made to be fired with arm extended. It's silly, but it's the way our overlords classify these things.
Its still based off an ar platform. I think its considered a pistol if the barrel is under 10" inches and over is a short barreled rifle but idk. It gets kind of confusing. I know if it dosent have the butt plate is considered a pistol so I'd call it an AR pistol . With a pistol brace its a way to get around the sbr tax stamp.
Fake news can't tell a rifle from a pistol challenge.
It’s not AR style. It’s a carbine.
What the frick
What the Hell is He Thinking?
He was planning on using it
If only California had stricter gun laws, maybe criminals would magically stop having guns
That’s a nice weapon.
😂😂😂 🤡 have fun in Rita bozo
Nice "Rifle"
Im trying to figure out the crime. Was it the way he was bothering the passengers or was it the pistol.
I need more information
going to jail on christmas is crazy
That round did not look like any pistol round I have seen
I bet he was an illegal immigrant 👨🏽🦱👨🏽
That’s not a rifle it’s a pistol. The news anchor even said pistol why did they say rifle in the title
Imagine if he and his AR just stayed home he would be sleeping in his warm bed tonight instead of Jamal and Jesus
