Asshole/Asshelmet With A Gun

Man With Weapons Cache Threatened Planned Parenthood and Agents, F.B.I. Says

In February, F.B.I. agents in Alaska who were researching an online chat room found that someone had posted several times about supporting mass shootings and assaults, and targeted Planned Parenthood, the authorities said.

The person’s online following was growing, they said. Delving deeper, the authorities found that he had written in June about shooting federal agents. Investigators traced his email address and found that it originated in Boardman, Ohio.

Last week, the authorities arrested Justin Olsen, 18, in Boardman, and he was charged on Monday with threatening to assault a federal law enforcement officer, according to documents filed in federal court. The authorities seized more than a dozen rifles, including some AR-15-style rifles, and about 10,000 rounds of ammunition from a home where Mr. Olsen was living, according the court filing.

It is not clear whether the weapons belonged to Mr. Olsen, or whether he even had access to them — many were kept in a “gun vault” in his father’s room, according to the filing.

But the details of the F.B.I.’s investigation, outlined in the filing, provided a glimpse of how the authorities investigate and seek to stop online threats from becoming reality at a time when back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso this month have shocked the United States.

Mr. Olsen is being held in federal custody, according to the court filing. His lawyer, Ross T. Smith, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening.

Mr. Olsen told an F.B.I. agent that his online posts were jokes and that his comment about shooting federal agents was an exaggeration, according to the court filing.

In a message that Mr. Olsen sent referencing the 1993 gun battle in Waco, Tex., between a religious sect, the Branch Davidians, and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms — four agents and several members of the sect were killed — he said: “In conclusion, shoot every federal agent on sight.”

He told the F.B.I. that his comments were a “hyperbolic conclusion based on the results of the Waco siege” where “the A.T.F. slaughtered families,” according to the court filing.

Efforts to reach Mr. Olsen’s family on Tuesday evening were unsuccessful.

The F.B.I. did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening.

The agency said in the court filing that in March, agents in Alaska found that the online account associated with Mr. Olsen “showed a large increase in subscribers” from the previous month. He had 4,400 followers on iFunny, a website and mobile application where users can share photos, videos and messages, according to the filing.

A message posted by the account in August suggested that people should not comply with gun laws, according to the court filing. “Stock up on stuff they could ban,” the post reads. “In fact, go out of your way to break these laws.”

“Even the Oklahoma City bombing shows that armed resistance is a viable method of political change,” Mr. Olsen posted online, according to the affidavit, apparently referencing the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people. “There is no legal solution.”

Mr. Olsen was living with his father in Boardman at the time of his arrest, according to the affidavit. On Aug. 7, the authorities arrested Mr. Olsen as he was leaving the home.

That same day, federal investigators searched the home. In one bedroom, they found 10,000 rounds of ammunition, camouflage clothing and backpacks, according to the court filing. In the trunk of Justin Olsen’s car, investigators found a machete.

In Mr. Olsen’s father’s bedroom, investigators found AR-15-style rifles and shotguns.

The authorities seized 15 rifles, several shotguns, 10 semiautomatic pistols and 10,000 rounds of ammunition from the home, according to the affidavit.

The next hearing in Mr. Olsen’s case is scheduled for Aug. 16.

  Somehow this one remains alive, in custody.

I am sure his gun is getting a good talking to by Philly's Mayor.

Just heard 6 gunshots, a pause, the one more.  I hope no one got hurt.

Called 911, let the police know.

A mute point if she had used an AR.

Since it sounds like they were arguing with each other staci, it’s probably more of a moot point than a mute one.   

Now I’m going to catch hell for replying to everything and correcting people.

moot
/mo͞ot/

adjective

subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty.
"whether the temperature rise was mainly due to the greenhouse effect was a moot point"

mute
/myo͞ot/

adjective

refraining from speech or temporarily speechless.
"Irene, the talkative one, was now mute"

verb
deaden, muffle, or soften the sound of.
"her footsteps were muted by the thick carpet"

There are three main sound sources made by an AR-15 when a round is discharged; the muzzle blast, the sound of the supersonic slug breaking the sound barrier and the mechanical noise of the weapon cycling after each shot. A suppressor aims to quiet the sound of the muzzle blast by trapping the expanding gasses from the end of the muzzle and allowing them to cool and decelerate in a series of chambers. In this way the decibel level is reduced. However regardless of this the 5.56×45 is a loud round even when suppressed because the round is breaking the sound barrier which creates a sonic boom.

In general a 16 inch AR-15 firing standard M193 produces a decibel level of around 167 dB give or take depending on environmental conditions. Averaging out a couple of the leading suppressors in the industry you see an average noise level of around 136 db with a suppressor attached. Which is a significant reduction. For comparisons sake a unsuppressed 22lr rifle typically falls in the 130 dB range.

An AR-15 can be made quieter by firing sub-sonic ammunition however, the AR-15 will not cycle properly. There are several great calibers out there available for the AR-15 platform that allow the use of sub-sonic ammunition along with reliable functioning. Many choose to stick with 5.56×45 for ammo availability, familiarity and commonality among several other weapons that they may own.

They do have subsonic conversions, .300 Blackout is particularly popular for the Tacticool set, but the Stoner action is pretty loud on it's own.  (I'm not going into the harmonics of that buffer, and the lack of any other sound deadening in that aluminum chassis, unless someone wants to read it.)

So, depending on what you want the Muffler for, .223 is quiet enough supersonically to fire it with a can, instead of hearing protection, outdoors.  (The muzzle break also makes a lot of noise around the muzzle, which is dangerous for an unprotected shooter.)

If you want to play Commando, then the action cycling is a hell of a lot quieter than the Muzzle break, however the non-directional shockwave of the supersonic bullet can distract people (Depending on the cover around) from that sound as well, so it's nigh impossible to trace the shot back to the source, with the echos.  

Toe was nice enough to explain the pun, so nobody gets it, and gets a point for saving me the trouble.

I could go back and edit my remark, then your critiques would stand out and be meaningless. But I won't. I meant to say moot (or immaterial) but had just finished a Hershey bar and had a sugar rush.

Are you trying to scare all the nerdy regular posters away again, when they just started getting over their replyphobia?

People, reply, discuss, have fun, laugh at jokes when they're funny and stop trying so hard not to be me.

We're all nerds here.  Every last one of us, it's about time we started enjoying it, together again.

To be honest I had to look it up to be sure which was correct.  Googling moot vs mute I found it’s a common error.

People, reply, discuss, have fun, laugh at jokes when they're funny and stop trying so hard not to be me.

But I was about to post an in-depth statistical analysis of my reply rate juxtaposed to reply rates of new members and long time members with graphs and figures and lots of hot links to posts?  

Unsurprisingly, my figures are all of naked girls.  They don’t really add to the analysis, but everyone seems to like them including the girls.

[psiberzerker]

I just have to appreciate the pun.  Talking about suppressors, the point is also Mute.

Never mind.  I'm sure none of you guys are intellectual enough to get it, anyways.

Unsurprisingly, my figures are all of naked girls.

And such beautiful figures they are.  Statistically, you're more likely to get laid than shot by a gunman!

Currently on season 8 of The Walking Dead in which suppressors are very much in demand.  You see loud gunfire just draws more zombies, why my favorite character uses a crossbow.  Although it is perplexing why he rides the loudest Harley I ever heard.

[psiberzerker]

The back-pressure of some suppressors can cause a loss of muzzle velocity, so you might want to re-zero, or aim a little higher once installed.

Also, we have no idea how far Athos has actually run...

  <That's a pun.  Why someone would "Miss" him in the context of guns.   

Hopefully the Forum hasn't been shot, but just had the soap-box kicked out from under it.

[watcher1]

Three dead, one wounded in shooting on west side of Chicago. Three dead in an argument over cigarettes. Sad.

[Lois]

Very sad that anyone would use violence like that to settle a disagreement.  Humans simply aren't responsible enough to have guns, or even nuclear weapons.

Sure most people are law abiding, but it just takes one to blow everything to shit.
