CBS News: Assault all the things!
Journalism!
The increasingly irrelevant NY Post calls a Red Ryder BB gun an assault rifle.
Or police ignorance. Some rapper I’ve never heard of had his house raided by the police. And they found something: Rapper Soulja Boy was charged on Monday with possessing an assault weapon and receiving stolen property following a December raid at his Hollywood home by police, Los Angeles prosecutors said. … Prosecutors say Way was […]
I need to get me one of those elusive Glock rifles.
Police take a KRISS. DA announces that it’s a submachine gun with a silencer. Press repeats the nonsense.
NBC Washington: In December, Aguilar purchased a single-barrel shotgun at United Gun Shop, along with a box of bucketshot (large and lethal) and birdshot (small and round) ammunition. The shotgun could be broken down into several pieces, making it easy to transport. Ok, then.
Oh, sorry, I misspelled idiotorial. Check out the pants shitting hysterics from the New York Post: New York Knicks guard Raymond Felton waved a pistol loaded with body armor-piercing bullets at his wife during several spats in their Upper West Side pad — prompting the terrified woman to turn the gun and her estranged husband […]
Or cops don’t know guns?
The press and their gun experts
Exactly who are these “registered gun owners“?
Hey, you got your meme in my meme An officer says it was an AK and so does the press. But uhm.
This week, in the media on guns: Machine gun found at JFK. Only not. What is an “assault shotgun“? A sensationalized propaganda term, I guess. Is it the same thing as a “law-enforcement-style shotgun“? AR-15s in the news How the media got everything wrong during the Navy Yard Shooting. They get this one right: A […]
The Fort Hood shooter used a Glock 27 model 5.7. I need to get one of those. For unicorns.
The tracking point system is dangerous because “There are a handful of snipers who can hit a target at 1,000 yards. But now, anybody can do it“. Well, if their job title is actually sniper, I’m guessing it’s probably all of them. And, you know, several people I know. MY GOD I KNOW ALL THE […]
Chicago Tribune calls sling mount a bayonet lug. It’s next to the shoulder thing that goes up.
The press doesn’t really know guns, which is why we should discount most of their hysteria.
Or, you know, that actually is a Glock 1911.
The AP lies: The ban, which existed for 10 years until 2004, would have made it illegal for the young gunman in Connecticut to buy the type of 30-round magazines that allowed him to shoot so many elementary school students before he reloaded. No, it wouldn’t have.
Well, I’ve always said that some people are just upset that someone, somewhere is having fun.
Heh
A 455 caliber handgun. Not sure what it is but I want one.
Tragic tale but I doubt it was really a 40mm sig. I need a .57 Magnum
Again!
The Aurora shooter’s vest was not actually bulletproof. It held accessories. Also, read reports that his 100 round magazine jammed on him. That does seem to be an issue with the drums.
ZOMG!!!111eleven Police Gun Buy Back Nets Rocket Launcher. Only, you know, not.
Cop-killer bullets! Which, apparently, means rifle rounds. And this: the perp’s initial 12-bullet barrage from a 9mm revolver. Where can I get one of those 12 round capacity revolvers?
Despite the NYT’s assertion, most states don’t register guns.
Artist makes some pretty cool things out of old cardboard. My favorite is his “AK-47”.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
