Jamie Raskin, an aggressive anti-gun activist, claimed Crooks was identified through the serial numbers on the firearms. Democrats want the surveillance state to include serial numbers on every firearm. Criminals remove them, so many assume the government wants to have a list of gun owners so they can later confiscate them.
One reader of the Sentinel wrote:
Democrats used that hearing to say “AR 15” about 50 times and make the whole thing about banning AR 15s
but that is not all
Raskin said something that has to be a lie
he did not say Crooks was identified within a few hours through DNA as we have been told
he said Crooks was identified in 30 minutes from the serial number on the AR 15
I think he is lying but said that because – as he said himself – some people disagree with the idea of serial numbers on firearms associated with the owner.
He was selling an idea – a democrat anti-gun idea – by using a lie… is what it looked like.
It Is a Lie
To clarify, that was a lie unless Raskin knows something no one else knows. Raskin lies constantly.
People need to know that.
After being killed at the scene, Crooks didn’t have any identification on his body, so agents had to “run his DNA and get biometric confirmation,” Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said at a press conference Saturday night before the gunman was named.
They had numerous other ways to identify him. The surveillance state is alive and well.
The Surveillance State
“Pennsylvania has face recognition for their driver’s license database,” Jennifer Lynch told DailyMail.com, ‘most driver’s license databases do.'”
Jennifer Lynch works as general counsel for the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and has spent over a decade tracking the federal government’s increasing reliance on vast genetic databases to track US citizens.
The background check for his position in the nursing home would have included routine fingerprinting that could have helped match prints on the rifle Crooks used to fire at Trump.
“A lot of people have fingerprints in databases that are accessible to the government,” she noted. “It’s kind of like an unsexy way to identify people.”
Additionally, Crooks had shot at Trump, damaging his ear, with an AR-style rifle that his father had purchased legally — which, along with the address on the registration for the shooter’s vehicle, may have led to a direct DNA match at the Crooks home.
Lynch opined that the FBI’s reference to running the suspects “DNA” might have been part of a Bureau effort to appear like all-seeing, omniscient crime-stoppers: “Sometimes I worry that law enforcement is just trying to scare us,” she said.
“And there’s certainly a lot of scary surveillance and technology out there,” she added, “and ways for the police to identify us.”
And they are always looking for more. Privacy is disappearing, but Crooks had three overseas accounts to avoid detection.
Another reader mentioned AOC mistakenly referred to an AR-16. An AR-15 is a semi-automatic. An AR-!6 is an M16, a fully automatic gun. She either knows nothing or was deliberately misleading.

Ever notice how three other men were named as the shooter, one a Chinese man, before Crook was ID’d as the shooter?
Hey……he probably wasn’t lying about the serial numbers……they have been keeping them illegally
I suspect the FBI knew the assassin’s identity before he ever showed up at the Trump event.
Gun channel addresses nonsense spread by left and FBI lies with real shooting demonstration on ballistic head with high speed camera.

Call me crazy but I now think there is a chance that Kimberly Cheatle will commit suicide.
A real one, not an Epstein type of suicide.
I watched the whole 5 hours and as I said in a very long comment in another thread, not only is her face devoid of any human expressions, devoid of any human emotion, but she looks very sad, very depressed, like she is dead from the inside.
Like her inner flame, her spirit, her soul died.
I think the fact she messed up the assassination she was supervising is too humiliating, I think being scolded for 5 hours by people on both side of the aisle agressively telling her she must resign and some told her they would fire her right there and then if it was up to them, is too humiliating.
She went from having a SUPER prestigious job; director of the security of the leader of the most powerful nation in human history to being humiliated on live tv in front of the entire planet.
I think she is ashamed, deeply humiliated, and the lack of life in her face, the lack of humanity in her face shows a woman who is contemplating suicide.
She was miserable and sad before, she has the face of someone who has not laughed or smiled in 30 years, but this will tip her over, she might kill herself.
I am not 100% sure, maybe 80%
or worse…she will leave this world in a blaze of glory, she will do a mass shooting.( not very likely but I would not rule it out, she is not a normal person, her inhuman face is a serious abnormality)
I wonder what psychiatrists and psychologists looking at her face that for 5 hours was devoid of human emotions or human expression would say?
My father had a doctorate in psychology and when I would bring new friends home and even if they stayed only 5 minutes like the time to call home( no sell phones back then ) and go to the bathroom then run home, after they left my father would tell me what type of person he thought they were and every time I was stunned that he had figured this out in 5 minutes.
Any honest psychologist looking at Cheatle would say her inhuman lack of facial expression is HIGHLY abnormal
There is nothing normal about her inhuman face that never EVER moves any of the 43 muscles in the human face.
Call me crazy, it will not offend or anger me, but I say 80% chance she kills herself.
It’s just the botox giving her the flaccid face. She’s proud of her role in giving the assassin access to President Trump.
I don’t think that is botox, I think that is a woman who is dead inside, her internal flame, her spirit, her soul died years ago.
She looks like she has been very depressed for years, long enough that it has ” molded” her face.
She was paid handsomely for her part in the assassination attempt! She is sad on the outside, but she is laughing on the inside!
