Fact: The rifle used in the Martin Luther King assassination was test fired 18 times under court supervision, and the results showed that no two bullets were marked alike.13 “Every test bullet was different because it was going over plating created by the previous bullet.”

A little additional info: The rifle was practically NEW when it supposedly fired the shot that killed MLK, having fired at the most half a dozen cartridges to zero it in. Years after the assassination, in the late 90's, a group sued to have the rifle's ballistics retested. Even 30 years later with much improved scientific methods including computer enhancements, the results came back "Inconclusive".

Another of those "fake but accurate" things?

Myth: Nobody needs an assault weapon.

Fact: Recall the Rodney King riots in that anti-gun city of Los Angeles. Every major news network carried footage of Korean storeowners sitting on the roofs of their stores, armed with “assault weapons”.61 Those were the stores that did not get burned to the ground, and those were the people that were not dragged into the street and beaten by rioters. "

Does anyone have any of these pictures. I seem to recall shotguns and standard hunting rifles being in the hands of the Koreans.
