Yeah he had to “cock” the gun between each shot. Yes 3-4 shots. I have to run an errand later, will drive by his house. I wonder if there is a cop outside of it now.
He wasn't cocking the gun, he was clearing a jam. Looks like a pistol, maybe small caliber. (I don't see a lot of muzzle rise and I don't see the upward flash of a compensator. So if it's small caliber with a suppressor, there's definitely a paper trail. Especially on the suppressor.
He's not a pro. Bad location. Bad shooting. Too many cameras.

No cop. Just about 6 cars. I presume family and friends.

I have found almost no sympathy for this guy anywhere on social media. I think America is united in its hatred of our health insurance system.
I’ve seen too many jokes about whether he was waiting to get his treatment approved when he died. I’ve not seen the glee which I’m sure is there from haters. Because I’ve gone out of my way not to look.

I don't understand why he put a suppressor on the pistol. According to RUnkle (in the video), that might have been the cause of the gun misfiring.
Possibly, because the gases don't bleed the same way. Besides, for a suppressor to be at its best, you need subsonic ammo, which has to be loaded down in almost all cases. Depending on the pistol, some are a lot more finicky about pressure than others. At the least, you should probably put in different weight recoil springs or buffers.
Pistols silence better than revolvers, because of the cylinder gap. Some guns just won't work with suppressors. An M1 carbine will blow a suppressor apart (don't ask me how I know) because the .30 carbine round is a hot pistol round in truth and generates a good deal of gas to work the action

a firearm he ought not to have had possession of in the first place.
We don't know about that - though NY firearm laws are strict.
I was wondering about the suppressor. Is that legal anywhere?
