actually I read a report ( wish I could remember where) that they had an M4 assault rifle...

the AR-15 is a semi-automatic while the m4 carbine is fully automatic. while it is legal to own an AR15 ( this is the gun feinstein wants gone) it is completely illegal for a civilian to have an M4.

So if what I read is true... where did they get one? They are also verrry expensive 6,000 to start.

I’ve read the same thing, but where are the pictures? Why aren’t the police waving it around calling for more gun control?

Where are the handguns? Something is not right here.

I haven’t seen that report. I would think if that were true it would have been in the 24hr news cycle every since. They love to report anything that supports Obama’s position.

"....it is completely illegal for a civilian to have an M4."

Not true. M4's come in three different versions; semi-auto only, semi-auto and full auto, semi-auto and three shot burst. The mode of fire is determined by a selector switch. The semi-auto only version is completely legal to own by federal law, although several states have outlawed them because they fit into a home grown definition of "Assault Rifle".

The primary difference between an AR-15 and M4 is the barrel length and fixed butt stock versus a collapsible butt stock. AR-15's usually are equipted with a 20 inch barrel whereas the civilian M4's typically have 16 inch barrels.

Every part on AR-15's and M4's are interchangeable. Either can be built with many different barrel lengths and buttstock configurations.

I’m starting a new conspiracy. . .the weapon was from Fast and Furious, and one of the terrorists was a drug dealer. . .got a weapon through F&F and the feds are covering it up.

This is fun. . . I am wondering how long before some tin-foil guy takes this serious. . . .
