“They simply reversed the image when it appears to be a left handed shooter. ”

Nope. You can clearly see the mag release catch on the left side, which is standard AR fare, and you can see the charging handle latch on the left, which is also standard. Its a custom, left-handed rifle.

I thought the peice was a major departure form the twisted garbage we were being fed back in the 1990s. Then you’d see images of dying teenagres, their traumatized mothers, close-ups of blood on the streets, and so on. The only “pro-gun” position would be coming from a skinny, dirty, toothless, illiterate, ranting, anti-government red neck with a shaved head, wearing camo and speaking from a rocking chair in front of his stars & bars decorated trailer in a back-woods swamp.

They always try to bring it back to Spray – n – pray. We need to keep the debunking up to make these retards look to the general public like the idiots they are.

Typical NBC B.S., did anyone catch the look of disdain that Brian Williams showed at the end of the report, as if he thinks smart successful women shouldn’t have guns that Islamic kissing bastard.

I gave my wife Bibby her first gun (A SIG 9) and she’s good with it at 15 yards. She can plant 13 out of 16 rounds bull-pack 60 percent of the time.

If anything, the report has only inspired me to save every penny for the day I get a Black Rifle for Christmas.

Probably not. Stag (the maker featured) also makes a left-handed AR.

That rifle is ambi. Right hand in one view and left hand in another.

They simply reversed the image when it appears to be a left handed shooter. The ejection port is visible. I have no idea why they’d do that, but they did.

Sebastian: right on both counts. A traditional rifle stock is easier to fire from the hip, and the D.C. snipers fired one or two rounds each time.

Eh, still the nonsense like “pistol grips are for firing from the hip”…ugh. Morons.

And the DC sniper thing never ceases to amuse me. They were firing single shots–my .270 Savage would have been infinitely deadlier for what they were up to.

“But it was mostly devoid of pants-shitting hysterics.”

You mean it was better than you could have hoped– that the quality of journalism may be showing possible signs improvment?
