| There Really Are 'Ex'-Marines |

| In addition to Murtha' PSYCHO: Slain rampage killer David Garvin, acting the part of a filmmaker on his Web site, earned a “less than honorable” discharge from the Marines and amassed an arsenal of weapons in his Bronx home. A chilling video shows a deranged ex-Marine pumping five shots into an unarmed auxiliary cop slumped behind a car in Greenwich Village before chasing down the victim's teenage partner and coldbloodedly executing him with a bullet to his head. In the shocking footage played by NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly at a press conference yesterday, it takes gunman David Garvin only seven seconds to kill hero auxiliary cops Nicholas Pekearo, 28, and Eugene Marshalik, 19, on Wednesday night. Friends said Garvin, 42, a divorced father of two who recently lost his job as a bartender, had become increasingly paranoid. Cops discovered an arsenal of weapons in a bag he dropped near the shooting scene and at his Bronx home. Kelly said Garvin had served in the Marines from 1996 to 1998, when he left with a less than honorable discharge. Friends and former colleagues painted a picture of a lonely man who bragged about breaking stories as an award-winning journalist, wrote screenplays and acted in movies. Can't blame his insanity on the horrors of war he endured. Curious his delusion was that he was a journalist. Recently, Kelly said, the killer had told pals he thought someone was out to get him. Manager Brian Barrow said he quit in February, two weeks before he was going to be fired because the receipts were down. "You could say he didn't have charisma," Barrow said. "There were no complaints, but the guy was a little strange - but we're all strange, aren't we?" |

| #3 well since he has proven himself a killer , and a crazy one at that, then i doubt he worried about the new york laws o weapons too much. and wroking as a bartender he more than likely made contacts too purchase them easily |

| #2 Nothing new here. Murtha already made it clear that it was possible to be an Ex-marine. |

| #1 Cops discovered an arsenal of weapons in a bag he dropped near the shooting scene and at his Bronx home. Doesn't NYC have some of the most restricted gun laws around? ..when he left with a less than honorable discharge. Nuff said. |
