| NARRATIVE FAIL: Orlando Islamic Terrorist Did NOT Use An AR-15 |
| 2016-06-14 |
| "...The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was instead a Sig Sauer MCX carbine, a modular, multi-caliber (able to swap to different calibers, including 5.56 NATO, 300 BLK, and 7.62×39) rifle system that sometimes utilizes STANAG magazines common to more than 60 different firearms, but otherwise has no major parts that interface with AR-15s in any way, shape or form. This of course, will make no difference at all to the anti-gun politimedia, who don’t particularly care about factual accuracy and who likely wouldn’t be able to tell an AR-15 from a toaster oven if their lives depended on it."... |

| #9 PBS News tonight had a big expose on the AR-15 that the killer used. |

| #8 Well, according to Tom Brokaw, it was an AR-14. He was an anchorman, you know. |

| #6 The Journalists Firearms Identification Table at the link is a hoot. It seems we could use that in our library. :-) |

| #5 Well, the anti-gun crowd has "willful ignorance of what they fear / hate" down pat. Definition of prejudice, isn't it? |

| #4 Couldn't we just settle for a generic term like "semi-automatic assault rifle"? |

| #3 The antigun nuts only know two "assault rifles" AR-15 and the AK-47. Everything that looks like them falls into those categories. |

| #2 The writer, Bob Owens, is wrong. Sig Sauer offers the upper separately, stating it is compatible with a mil std AR-15 lower receiver. I didn't find a part number, though. It is a good looking upper. Kind of like the LMT MRP (which I like better). |

| #1 So every firearm used in a mass shooting by some psychopathic nut is a Glock or an AR-15? BTW, the preferred journalistic psychopathic nut is a conservative, Tea Party member or Trump supporter. |
