Straw purchase of AR's - San Bernardino

[Stevehazard]

Again, the most recent report I have seen has said that Marquez admitted to purchasing the rifles with the intent of immediately giving them to Farrok. That Farook ASKED him to get the rifles for him and even explained that he did not want his records associated with the rifles.

Just read more about Marquez. Sounds like he has admitted to considering terror plots with Farook back in 2012 and has indicated possible prior knowledge of attacks.

Really? So a .50 BMG round is incapable of taking down an airplane? A semi-auto Barrett .50 with a 10 round mag could not take down a commercial airplane?

You should think about that one again. I'm not denying the MSM and anti-gun propaganda concerning this but, you are wrong, man.

How about an elephant gun? Maybe 460 weatherby or 700 nitro express. Perfectly legal. Lots of guns could penetrate aluminum of the aircraft including most hunting rifles. You bought into the Anti-gun BS and are justifying another completely BS reason to ban a specific weapon.

He's a traitor that knowingly aided and abetted terrorists in killing American citizens on American soil. Hang him high.

Considering that Marquez has now admidted to plotting a terror attack in 2012, after purchasing the rifles, I DGAF what they charge the effer with. He knew that Farook would potentially commit an act of terror with the rifles, yet he handed them over any way. Eff him. http://abcnews.go.com/US/senator-san...ry?id=35679709

Some Senator from Idaho said 'Apparently Marquez admitted" blah blah blah.

WTF does that mean in the real world? That is just more third hand unsubstantiated BS. This time from a freak'n politician 4 states away from the investigation.

IF Marquez is guilty of being complicit in this crime he should be roasted real slow over a low fire. But the public should hang onto the pitchforks and torches until FACTS are KNOWN. It's called Due Process.

But without actual public announcement quotes given by LE Agents involved in the investigation. Or a public admission by Marquez. It is still a by guess, and by golly, with a butt load of WAGs thrown in for good measure.

He may also be guilty of Immigration fraud by taking part in a Green Card marriage. Because neighbors said his wife, who he didn't live with, was rarely even at his house.

He is in the spotlight. He is under intense investigation by all the aphabet soup agencies. YKBYA that even the NSA is going back through every phone call, text, and E-mail he sent and recieved since he was pooping his diapers. If he is guilty of anything the Feds will find it. Even if they use the info as Agenda Fodder for their Masters.

The FBI director testified before congress today, and informed them that the two terrorists were radicalized over two years ago, before they knew each other, and another media source reported that Farook and Marquez attended the same mosque.

Things are not looking good for Marquez.

Which is exactly why I caution against 2nd & 3rd hand quotes. And especially against "UMUMC". [ Unsubstantiated Made Up Media Crap]

At least this media quote is from a direct source at the Islamic Society where Marquez prayed. [whether accurate quote or embellished is open to debate]

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-man-who-bought-the-rifles-who-is-enrique-marquez/ar-AAgdWmX?li=BBnb7Kz

Marquez attended prayers at the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco four or five years ago, though not regularly, according to Yousuf Bhaghani, president of the facility’s board of directors.

“We have members who actually are recognized in writing and everything, and then you have people who come and go,” Bhaghani said. “Enrique was one of those guys who used to come, but he was not a permanent member.”

Authorities have not contacted the Islamic Society about Marquez, said Bhaghani, who did not know when Marquez converted to Islam.

“We’re trying to figure out how he got converted. Who converted him?” he asked. “Because obviously he’s Hispanic and converted Muslim. So far, we really don’t have much to go with because the people who remember him, remember that he used to come and pray but that’s pretty much it.”

It was not clear if Farook had also attended the center at any point.

As of now no factual info that Marquez and the terrorist ever went to same Mosque.

Underlined. And as of now, there is no indication that he "Converted". Only that he ocassionally came to pray.

I honestly hope Marquez is a bad guy. That means they've already got him and the US is a safer place for it. And any intel they get from and about him, may likely lead to more bad guys.

But in the off chance that he is just the "dufus" tool he appears to "maybe" be. I don't want the investigation to overly focus on him and let other bad guys slip through the cracks.

How was the connection to Enrique Marquez originally made? If the guns were purchased by Marquez before Jan 1, 2015, there is no registration. Did they somehow stumble on Marquez from other areas of the investigation and then he mentioned supplying the guns, or did they find him after researching the guns?

They tracked down the 4473 from the purchase and that led them to him.

[MXRider]

Right. They followed the paper trail.
