The .22 caliber sniper rifle was purchased and possessed legally by Rentas' aunt, according to Stedman.

I don't think that it was purchased to kill police. Looks like the nephew decided to repurpose it for that. I'm really confused though, since more guns are supposed to mean less crime. Odd.

Pretty confident that "you liberals" didn't call a .22 rifle either a 'sniper rifle' or a 'weapon of war.'

So LiB agrees that the 2nd amendment does not give the right for someone to purchase and use a .22 sniper rifle? You want to prevent people from purchasing it?

Mother of Police Shooting Suspect Blames Black Lives Matter

The mother of one of two central Pennsylvania teenagers charged with shooting at police officers last week contends the Black Lives Matter movement is to blame for his actions.

Lancaster County's district attorney said Tuesday there was no indication the shooting early Friday was racially motivated, but one suspect told officers he was targeting police.

"We as a society need to take a look at what's going on in our country," District Attorney Craig Stedman said. "There's a lot of rhetoric demonizing police. It creates greater a chance to have individuals emboldened to take violent actions out on police."

Over the weekend, Rentas' mother issued a statement blaming the Black Lives Matter movement for inspiring the teens' actions.

"They are in jail for doing what Black Lives Matters wanted them to do: shoot at cops," she wrote in a statement given to a number of news organizations. "The truth is that these are two punk kids following the orders of an irresponsible organization and now they're gonna pay for it."

Nace's father, Roberto Rentas, made a similar statement to WHTM-TV.
