Wait! He used two (presumably) 1911s and they're pushing a "high capacity" magazine ban?

That's another question, why has no one confirmed what model of handguns were used, what capacity the magazines were and the make and model of suppressor used, or if it was home made? I can only believe the important details don't match the anti-gun narrative, because we had all that information almost instantly in other cases of a similar nature.

This is latest updated site I have seen on google. I am also amazed this isn't all over the news but again I don't think the perp fits the media's narrative.

The weapons: Authorities recovered two guns at the scene believed to be used in the shooting, a rifle and a .45 caliber handgun with extended magazines and a suppressor, the chief said.

6-1
Additional weapons were recovered at the scene and at Craddock’s home, according to Cervera.

5-31
Two law enforcement sources said the weapons appeared to have been legally purchased. One of those sources said the purchases were made in recent weeks.

Exactly. We have nothing beyond generic descriptions a good witness might provide. Why hasn't VBPD issued a public statement on the exact makes, models, capacities and specifics on the "suppressor"? They do sell fake suppressors after all. How many times have we been told "the shooter wore body armor" only to find out later is was a non-ballistic tac-vest? :(

Extended magazines for 1911’s in .45acp carry 10 rounds. Exactly the number of rounds the liberals want to limit us to.
One more nugget that doesn’t fit the narrative.

The article appears to be from June 1, later reports are that 2 .45 handguns were used, not a long gun, and that at least one of the handguns was equipped with a suppressor and high capacity mag(s). Also it seems I remember the guns being identified as Glocks, not 1911's
