According to the translation, the weapon used likely was the VSS Vintorez rifle, a short range carbine with an integrated suppressor, typically used by Slavic militaries' special forces. The rifle itself fires a 9mm round from a necked up 7.62x39mm AK cartridge. I have watched videos of the rifle in action and it is very quiet; you can only hear the action as the rifle is being fired.
The article said that the shot was fired at close range. The Vintorez has a maximum effective range of 400 meters. The shot was fired about 30 degrees from the axis of the DShK's barrel.
Finally, if you want to be "California compliant", you can always acquire the "Cockroach of Weapons."
Loads.

Did you hear about last weekend when 911 calls were put on hold for up to 45 minutes in the city of Dallas? 911 systems are run by the big city anti-gun liberal politicians and Democrats.
(The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes. The response time of a .357 time is 1400 feet per second.)

911 systems are run by the big city anti-gun liberal politicians and Democrats.
WADR One Eyed, unless contracted 911 dispatch facilities are law enforcement entities and by function operated apolitically. Typically, the people that "run" them are also LE usually around a Sargent's level. Unlike many of their superiors they tend not to be liberal nor anti-gun.
Now, your sentiments regarding relying on 911 to save your bacon in a crisis situation couldn't be more spot-on.

The SKS is a very good weapon, still, while you can't spray and pray like the AK or the M-6, like the old G3, it is accurate and extremely reliable in combat and not completely dependent upon diligent cleaning...much like the dear departed M-1.
[Liberty Alliance] Senator Tom Carper of Delaware and twenty-three Senate Democrats are planning on unveiling a new piece of proposed legislation that will render President Trump’s border wall plans futile.
The new bill will specifically target Trump’s rhetoric on "immigration enforcement improvements." Carper released the following statement on Thursday regarding the bill:
"Spending billions of taxpayer dollars to wall off the remainder of the border is an exorbitantly expensive and an ineffective substitute for a smart, layered approach to border security. [Trump] should work with Congress and build open progress made over the past several years to improve security along our border."
In January, Trump initiated an executive order to start "immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border." His order included more enforced deportations, establishment of new detention facilities, and granting equipment enhancements to Customs and Border Protection agents.
The Democrats’ proposed legislation would attempt to undermine all these facets. However, it is unlikely the bill will see the light of day; the Democrats would need to acquire at least 12 Republican votes to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote procedural barrier.
#1
Legislation is meaningless and unnecessary with a republican majority. All the libtard dems have to do is find sympathetic federal judges like Derrick K. Watson in Hawaii and Maryland's Theodore D. Chuang. Game over.
The border wall and immigration are little more than sideshows. The main battle area and major judicial fiat will involve funding for 'Planned Parenthood' and Roe vs. Wade. We are a nation divided and nearing an Emancipation Proclamation crossroads.

Senator Tom Carper of Delaware and twenty-three Senate Democrats are planning on unveiling a new piece of proposed legislation that will render President Trump’s border wall plans futile.
And when the revolution comes in earnest, it is my hope these 24 are remembered for not giving a damn about their country's security.
[Rush] We are on the verge of a genuine constitutional crisis because of the Ninth Circuit court of Appeals opening the door for this Hawaii Obama-appointed judge to deny Trump’s travel ban the second time going, and I want to get into detail as to what this really means and what the left is really doing here.
It’s not a legal dispute. This is, as I said yesterday, is a silent coup that is taking place that I’m sure has been strategized since before Trump was inaugurated. But the profound, devastating possibilities that result from this in terms of a president losing all constitutional -- do you realize with this judge’s ruling, I’ll tell you where this is going.
Let’s say that Donald Trump decides at any time in the near future that he needs to deploy troops, and so he does, and so a leftist activist goes to a court, shops and finds a judge, like the guy in Hawaii, and claims that Trump said during the campaign that he was gonna do X Y, or Z, whatever, and the deployment of troops is not really for the stated purpose, and the judge could shut it down!
This judge’s ruling has -- if the guy’s not stopped, if the Supreme Court doesn’t overturn this, or if Trump doesn’t just ignore it like Andrew Jackson did, then we’re getting to the point where the president, because of the judiciary, will have totally lost constitutional authority to defend the country because of this little ruling in Hawaii that was made possible by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. And it’s all about this idiotic notion that a presidential candidate on the campaign trial making statements is the equivalent of an inaugurated president stating policy.
#1
The most basic, most idiotic notion here is that the US courts should think they have anything legitimate whatsoever to say or do in the execution (executive, get it?) of US foreign policy.
We didn't choose these black robed bozos to do that, and it's far past time to do something about them.

Tangentially related: today the bust of former US Supreme Court Chief Justice Roget B. Taney will be removed from the grounds of the Frederick MD City Hall in preparation for its relocation to a nearby cemetery. Taney wrote the infamous Dred Scott USSC decision, which was a major element leading up to the Civil War.
I doubt that Ryan has the votes to impeach this Hawaiian judge, and given the Republican squishes as well as Democratic joy over the injunction, there are certainly not enough votes in the Senate to convict; but there are some Democrats who find the Courts’ interference in the political game rather alarming.

Federal judges are making up law according to their personal beliefs, whims, political party and "cult of personality". Without strict interpretation and adherence to our Constitution it is easy to lose our way.

Trump may get his Andrew Jackson moment sooner than thought:
"John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it"

If you want to hear a federal judge bitch up a storm, ask him whether the General Services Administration is treating him well. Not only does the judiciary not control an armored division, it basically can't buy a pencil sharpener without the cooperation and $$$ of the GSA. The GSA is clearly part of the executive branch. So instead of thinking about difficult projects like impeachment, think in terms of how Judge X's next request to the GSA is going to be handled. "Your law clerk's computer just crashed? We'll get someone out there right away -- here, I'll pencil you in for April 2025. We need to take care of all the starving immigrant children first. You're OK with that, aren't you?"

Verge? We've had a judicial aristocracy for generations. Should have noticed back in the 80's with the Bork nomination. That's when they all should have been limited to 16 year terms.

There are 124 judicial vacancies with one pending out of 890 authorized judgeships. According to the American Constitution Society:
If any Senator objects to unanimous consent, then a cloture motion must be filed in order to end debate and move to a vote. Cloture motions for judicial and executive nominations require 51 votes to pass. If 51 Senators support cloture, the full Senate will vote on the nomination, with a majority required for confirmation. If fewer than 51 Senators support cloture, debate continues and a confirmation vote cannot occur. This is known as a filibuster. Prior to the November 2013 Senate rules change, all cloture motions required 60 votes to pass. Now, only cloture motions for legislation and nominees to the Supreme Court require 60 votes. Once the Senate holds a confirmation vote, with a majority voting to confirm, the nominee becomes a Federal Judge. It would be good to fill these ASAP.
Congress has the power of the purse and Trump has veto power over pet projects going to Schumer's state should he be too much the obstructionist in these appointments.
A class struggle is emerging in Euro-American society.
Geert Wilders, the nationalist candidate for prime minister of the Netherlands, lost the election on March 15. This has brought comfort to those who opposed him and his views on immigration and immigrants. It is odd that they should be comforted. Ten years ago, it would have been difficult to imagine that someone of his views would have won any seats in parliament. The fact that his party is now the second largest in the Netherlands, rather than an irrelevancy, should be a mark of how greatly the Netherlands – and Euro-American civilization – has changed, and an indication that this change is not temporary.
