Investigators are still trying to figure out where Martinez -- who had a warrant for failing to show in court on charges he beat his wife -- got the high-powered Masterpiece Arms-built weapon.
The gun had been stolen from its owner, a woman named Jordan Kelsey-Stewart, 25, who bought it from Dale's Guns in Powhatan, Va., on Oct. 18, sources said.
It was stolen from Kelsey-Stewart's car on Oct. 28 in Richmond, Va. What happened next is unclear, but the feds want to talk to her to see if she had any connection to the shooter.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

 Some facts about the gun used in Thursday's Times Square shooting:

The MAC-10 is a handheld submachine gun that weighs about 6 pounds, can hold 30 bullets in its magazine and fire more than 1,000 rounds a minute.
It was developed by Gordon Ingram in 1964 and was used by Special Forces in Vietnam.
It's a favorite of street gangs and movie stars. John Wayne carried one in “McQ,” and so did Bruce Willis in "Pulp Fiction."
The model Raymond Martinez was carrying Thursday was a semi-automatic variation called the Masterpiece Arms 9-mm. MAC-10, which had a closed bolt that improves accuracy.
It was reported stolen on Oct. 28 from a car in Richmond, Va.

(For starters, having the extremely high cyclic rate of at least 1,000 rounds per minute, which actually makes the MAC submachine guns extremely difficult to handle, does not equate to firing 1,000 rounds per minute because the gun uses 30-round magazines, which get depleted rather quickly at that rate. More importantly, the cyclic rate of the original full-auto version has no bearing whatever on its semi-automatic clones. In point of fact, the model in question fired two rounds, then jammed [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6783542/New-York-police-shoot-dead-con-artist-scamming-tourists.html]. Other than that… typical yellow journalism from the Daily News.)
