You can’t make this up.

CNN attempted to explain to viewers how a “bump stock” works, but the animation of the AR-15 doesn’t even include a bump stock. CNN did give the rifle a grenade launcher and suppressor, however.

Another example of CNN doing what CNN does best: getting things completely wrong.

Disclaimer: Someone mentioned this article on Facebook. I've never heard of this site - twitchy - before. But it was founded by Michelle Malkin, so I guess it's okay.

The Blaze covered this story too.

It is time for the FCC to suspend the broadcast license of cnn, nbc, and cbs for thirty days.

Who needs a bump stock when you can easily build a “Ghost gun” complete with the “rain down fire” setting. LOL

All arms that the gubmint has should be legal for private ownership. The gubmint shouldn’t hand them out like welfare cards, but if you can afford it, nobody should be prevented from weapon ownership.

CNN believes that the bump stock is the part that makes the gun say “pew, pew, pew”.

“rain down fire” setting

Too much engraving by the selector switch.

CNN airs #FakeNews. It’s what they do.

FWIW Cnn doesn’t have a broadcast license—they are exclusively cable/satellite. FCC has no authority over them.

What is a bump stock? I have seen 12 year olds with a velocity light trigger bump a regular stock on their shoulder at a full auto rate.

Twitchy has been around for awhile now. It just captures stupid tweets and the responses with some commentary.
