Navy Yard Shooting: Suspect Bought a Rusty Used Gun? For $400? FBI Photos

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Scott Creighton

According to the official story of the Navy Yard Shooting, Aaron Alexis went to the store the weekend before the shooting and bought a Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun. They claim there is video of him making that purchase, but the FBI has that video so we’ll never see it.

Anyway, when I saw the images of the shotgun released by the FBI this past week, something jumped out at me: he bought what appears to be a used piece of crap shotgun?

The gun has rust on it. RUST. And he supposedly bought it from a gun dealer just days before the shooting? Who would sell a POS gun like that in their store?

From the looks of it, I would be surprised if that gun even worked.

There’s another thing in the FBI photo release I thought was interesting. See if you pick up on it. It surrounds the image of the backpack that their suspect supposedly left behind in the bathroom stall.

here are the images.

.

Look at the condition of this weapon. Does it look like someone just bought it at a shooting range?

Processing for fingerprints does leave behind some residue, but photos of the weapon itself are usually taken prior to processing.

Look at the gap between the stock and the body of the gun. On one side it looks like someone took a grinder to the edge of it.

This is not a new Remington 870 Express Tactical. You can see some good photos of this type of weapon here.  Here’s one shot of it:

If you go to Remington’s 870 Express Tactical webpage, you will notice they don’t even make this style of Express Tactical anymore.

If you look closely at the shotgun in the pictures you will notice there’s been a lot of damage to this thing. It almost appears as if rust has been cleaned off it.

And this was for sale in a gun store? In what, the bargain bin?

He reportedly spent over $400 for it. You can buy them new all day long for $520 or so. The one I show in the picture above went at auction for $411.

It almost looks like the piece of crap gun was taken out of a bundle of guns that had been turned into the police department in exchange for a WalMart gift card or something.

He bought that piece of crap days before the shooting and paid $400+ for it?

Yeah, that’s a government contractor for you.

There’s another thing.

Here are two pictures. One is of his backpack hanging on the door of the bathroom stall. The other is of him entering the building. See if you notice what I did.

      The person who wrote this article clearly knows very little about guns. Shotguns are very durable. A little rust won’t render it inoperable by any means.

      This whole Navy Yard shooting has big smell all over it. In fact, so does the Westgate Mall shooting in Nairobi.

      Today, the false flag perps do not recognize national boundaries. This is a Global Crime Spree.

      The guilty parties – “the usual suspects” – From killing Kennedy to Waco to 9-11 to Fukushima.
      They are all tied together, but the people still have their TV-blinders on.

      The reports on infowars.com today will blow your mind, perhaps this is the shock treatment many need to restore their sanity!

      #1 – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh says that the raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is “one big lie” and that “not one word” of the Obama administration’s narrative on what happened is true.

      #2 – Paul Joseph Watson writes a whopper under headline: Some Got Warning To Avoid Westgate Before Bloody Siege

      Anybody need a reality check? Here is Jon Rappoport’s partial commentary:

      A federal official tells USA Today that Alexis SHOT PEOPLE IN THE PARKING GARAGE. Are you kidding? And then he strolls into the building a few minutes later and nobody stops him.

      And now we have video purporting to show Aaron Alexis entering the Navy Yard building, with his bag, without a hitch.

      No presentation of credentials at the door. No guards present.

      If, as the USA Today federal source describes, Alexis shot several people in the parking garage BEFORE entering the building and killed at least one person, you would assume that would spark an immediate security call and lockdown of the building.

      Alexis would have met heavy armed resistance before entering the building. But according to the video, he didn’t.

      So what really happened?

      An eight-year old with a few active brain cells calls this a contradiction. But USA Today and every other major media outlet call it nothing. Just one of those glitches. Happens in every story like this. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it.

      “They always get it wrong at first. Then they get it right.”

      You mean, “Somebody lets the cat out of the bag and then they put the cat back in”?

      If indeed Alexis or someone else shot and killed people in the parking garage before the shooting in the building started, then we have the kind of security breach that does far more than inspire a call for a “review of security” at all naval installations.

      We have a completely different account of what actually happened at the Navy Yard.

      For example: other shooters; doctored FBI video; a planned and coordinated op.

      Supposedly having problems even getting enough money to have his car fixed yet can go out of state and plunk down 4 or 5 hundred on a gun.

        LOL, I’ve bought guns before fixing my car. What’s your point? Clearly, he was a disturbed person on a mission. Of course he’d do that before fixing his car. Probably just took his latest paycheck. And DC and Virginia are right next to each other. The gun store is less than 30 minutes from the Navy Yard.

      What looks like rust is most likely dried blood… it goes a rust brown color because of all the iron in it – it effectively is mostly rust when dry. It also is apparent on the plastic stock – which obviously can’t rust.

      The beaten up receiver butt is strange. I don’t see any logical way to explain that.

      The serial number appears to be visible. An expert in Remington shotguns should be able to tell us if this really was an Express model or an older model dressed up with a new stock to look like a new model.

      Although it’s a Remington, that gun would still likely fire. I’ve seen guns beat up worse than that sold at some dealers, but no way in the world would a dealer sell it for $400 -unless the kid was idiot and got ripped off.

    • Porchdog

      Most likely it was a shotgun confiscated from the trunk of some druggie thug gang member!
      According to the following links a shotgun with the serial number starting with RS would have been manufactured in 1998 (or possibly 1969 though I’m uncertain when they started making the tactical model). By no means is this a new shotgun!
