It’s not often that you spot a real estate broker using the preferred rifle of assassins.
But Nikko Santo Pietro, son of “Wheel of Fortune” star Vanna White, likes the AR-15 for fun.
The lightweight semi-automatic rifle is very popular with crazy people, mass killers (tragedies like Uvalde, TX countless others), and, yes, assassins. It’s not exactly a hunting rifle, unless you’re hunting people. Thomas Michael Crooks used one a couple of weeks ago to graze Donald Trump’s ear, killed fire chief Corey Comperatore, and wound two other people in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Santo Pietro — a Los Angeles real estate broker whose father is restaurateur George Santo Pietro — posted pictures of himself on Instagram using an AR-15 for backyard target shooting. We’re not suggesting he’s committing a crime. But maybe think twice in light of everything that’s happened recently. You could buy a vowel for less trouble.
