As it turns out, the "scripted" story isn't accurate.  So when CNN reports BS, it's fake news.  What do you call it when it's Fox?

Tucker Carlson ran a rebuttal right away and corrected the story.  THrew the kid under the bus.  Does CNN EVER run rebuttals to their fake news?

Got a really good deal at Cabela's on a Ruger 10/22 a year or so ago. Otherwise, I've always gotten the best deals on guns at local sellers (along with dealing with people who actually know which end the bullet comes out).

I don't know if CNN runs rebuttals - I don't watch it.  My point is that regardless of ideology, these news orgs rush to push out information if it supports their ideology, regardless of its validity.  Fake news runs the idealogical spectrum.  I think you'll agree with that.

Given that CC occasionally posts Breitbart stuff, he's in the crowd most likely to fall for fake news daily, while screaming that anything he doesn't want to hear is fake.

Dems keep referring to the AR-15 as a "weapon of war"...

Maybe we should take a poll of military vets if they would have wanted to go into battle with the AR-15?

I’m pretty sure it was also made for civilians first and then the government created the M16.

Trump is off the fucking rails today. Literally said "Take the guns first. Go through due process second" (supposedly). If true, he is a jackass

The hard-leftists must be losing their shit because their little hardwired brains don't allow them to agree with Trump, but they do!

Obviously the Evangelicals were right all along. Donald Trump - like King David, Moses, Saul, St. Peter, Noah - is the flawed prophet who can unite the masses.

IF?!?  As in, you still potentially have doubt?

I saw some of it.  Not this particular comment, but pretty clearly Trump is one of those people who needs to be heard and tries to sound smart, but the words just come out without much thought or coherence.

He did the same dog-n-pony show with the DACA thing.  Probably decided the optics made him look good.  But, ummm, still waiting on an Immigration deal.

Problem is, despite the apparent transparency....Trump and all the other people in that room will say one thing, and then go back on it and not be held accountable.  Nothing but a mental masturbation session to make people feel like the issue is being addressed.

Well there is one teacher you don't want to be armed.

Curious if he had permission to be armed on school grounds. I'm not sure what Georgia's laws are on that subject.

The M4 and M16 are full automatic weapon with the ablility to change to a semi-atuomatic as required. The AR-15 was a built for civil usage as a semi-automatic only. 

 Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the "Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle" began on Jan 2, 1964. The M16 wasn't issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn't standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn't officially replace the M14 until 1969. Colt had been selling semi-automatic AR-15's to civilians for 5 years by the time the M16A1 replaced the M14. Going off of the serial number records for the SP1, Colt had sold at least 2,501 rifles to the civilian market by 1965, 8,250 rifles by 1967, and 14,653 rifles by 1969.

It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963 under the President of LBJ, and both congress and senate held the majority by Democrats. ouch...

Calling that a "church" by the media is a huge stretch. Cult would be a more accurate name.

Common sense says there is one age for adulthood in all contexts. If you can join the service and vote at 18, you should enjoy all rights at 18.

In the US.  Some parts of the world they consider14 to 15 yr olds as adults
