Hoplophobic idiocy and really bad journalism.

One that thing really stands out to me is the idea that the AR-15 is characterized as "the gun that Adam Lanza used to murder 20 innocent children." This can only be true for very ignorant, or very dishonest, people. The AR-15 is also the gun that police brought with them, to respond to the crime. And the standard-issue rifle of our military for nearly fifty years. And one of the best-selling firearms in America. So how could it reasonably be defined by Sandy Hook, or the handful of other atrocities in which it has been used?

Looking closely, you answered your question.

It's not even the same type of ar-15 used in Sandy Hook , Daniel Defense.
Here is another great story from the Most Popular Stories side list, http://www.wfsb.com/story/25186070/young-boy-orders-dangerous-airsoft-gun-from-amazon

Actually, I don't think Lanza used an AR-15 at all. It was a Bushmaster, but I thought it was an M4gery.

Is not AR-15 used to refer to all the variations of Armalite's design?

[RoadKingLarry]

More or less.

I promise to not use my "Killdozer Lower" with the custom selector markings of "Siesta - Fiesta - Donkey Show" (I might ask to leave one side as "Safe - Doze - Killdoze") should I ever go on a rampage.

On the note of really bad journalism, I heard on the radio at lunch that Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door with "exploding bullets".


Boy, and I thought South Africa would have some stringent gun regulations. They have weapons no one else in the world has!
