AR-15: CNN, Daily News Have Already Blown Their Gun Control Narrative
Tuesday's New York Daily News cover story is nothing more than a long-form editorial that attempts to make the AR-15 (a semiautomatic sport rifle) the bad guy in Monday's horrific Navy Yard shooting. Last night, CNN attempted to do the same through blowhard Piers Morgan. But there is just one problem: CNN and The Daily News are 100% wrong. The FBI has just confirmed that a shotgun and two pistols were recovered, and that the "gunman was NOT armed with [an] AR-15."
aha- that explains why CNN has been using the term long gun. :lol: Exactly as I suspected. If they can't call it an assault rifle, they can call it a long gun, and for those who have no clue, it's scary-sounding.
To me, a 'long gun" would be a full length shot gun or a hunting rifle, not an AR or similar which are relatively short in comparison.
But Hell, the gun hating MSM doesn't know the difference.

Least they didn't start of with "The shooter appeared to be a White, Christian, Tea Party type"Im shocked that the media would report a story without first waiting for or checking the facts.

Long guns would be barrels with typical dimensions for long distance shots like shotguns or hunting rifles. Intermediate rifles are those like the AR-15. AK-47, CAR-15, M-16 variants, etc. are all intermediate rifles used mostly for medium or short range suppression or sweeping. The "assault weapon" doesn't exist outside of legalese created by anti gun groups and politicians, it's a deliberate modification of the very real term assault rifle which is meant to be select fire intermediate barreled rifles used for either CQC or mid range combat.To me, a 'long gun" would be a full length shot gun or a hunting rifle, not an AR or similar which are relatively short in comparison.

Aren't the good guys with guns supposed too stop the bad guys with guns? That meme fell apart today.

Yeah and a dozen other people. Great job, NRA.

Let's just go back to calling them "boom-sticks".

Who is relishing this? Disarming these servicemen has allowed for two mass murders on military bases, if anything we're pissed about this.Debate politics posters who are gunners are currently living in the past, relishing in Clinton's mistake that was not changed by Bush, and should have been changed by Obama.

How is the truth insulting? Clinton signed the gun restrictions on military bases.You know how sarcastic members of your posting team are acting in their blaming of Clinton. Insulting.
Why didn't Bush change it?
And I am a just a lonely progress--ive out here in fly-over who has been won over to concealed-carry in ANY workplace.
Sandy Hook, I'm retired but always looking, changed me forever.

Okay, but Bush doesn't own it, Clinton had it passed.And Bush could have reversed it. Why are you playing ***ty politics with it?
And Obama should be reversing it right this ****ing moment.
What more do you want?
You people are impossible to talk with, even when we agree with you.
The difference is "we" are installing CC in schools. How 'bout you?
