Reporters Misinforming their viewers and readers...



News reporters although educated are sometimes very ignorant and don’t even try to get the information correct. The reporter said, with real authority in her voice, “The suspect was armed with a high-powered rifle.” The gun she was talking about was a little AR-15/M-4 style semi-automatic carbine.

A high powered rifle fires rounds nearly twice as big as and much more powerful than the little black carbine. Aside from firing much larger rounds, high powered rifles are longer and weigh more than carbines so they can handle the more powerful cartridges.

Where the reporter went wrong is she did not bother to get her facts straight. She saw the black carbine and it just looked somewhat impressive so she renamed it and gave it magical power.

This is exactly the mistake lawmakers made when they banned certain types of weapons. They rely on ignorant members of the Brady gun control organization for their misinformation.

That wooden stock rifle can reach out and touch targets much further away and do a lot more damage than that little military looking gun.

Assault rifles are fully automatic rifles that are more suitable for warfare because they can send a lot of little rounds to a target in a hurry. The semi-automatic look-alike rifles are not suitable for warfare since one pull of the trigger only fires one round.

Reporters almost never get this right. If they don’t know and don’t care they should simply call it a gun.

Who controls the media in America? Ask them why they are a cabal of liars and thieves.

YOU ARE RIGHT!!!
The primary reason the AK and AR rifle platforms (both assault rifle and sporting semi-automatics look alikes) work is because they are LOW POWER rifles.
The recoil generated by HIGH POWER rifles tends to make them uncontrolable in full auto or rapid fire semi auto modes.
Don't wait on these talking heads to educate themselves where this issue is concerned as their mind is made up and they will not allow themselves to be confused by the facts.

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
