CNN is not embarrassed by this nonsense. It is part and parcel of their journalistic malpractice as they have no shame.

A lot of people will buy this just because it’s cool, and they want to appear like reporter. If you’re a media whore or a presstitute and you want a High Capacity Transmission Device, you can certainly buy one, and you should be able to buy one. The problem is when it gets in the hands of the wrong people.

In my personal opinion, you have to receive a whole lot of training to use this Microphone. And this Microphone in the wrong hands can be more dangerous than most broadcasts because of its capability to spread lies and propaganda in a short period of time and be irreversible.

***you have to receive a whole lot of training to use this weapon.***

What nonsense! In the military I was given 1/2 day of disassembly and assembly, and 1/2 day of shooting on the range. that was it. Each year I had to re-qualify with only 1/2 day of target shooting.

And that was with an M-16.

This is CNN scaring women and their cats.

During the Iraqi War they spent 5 years trying to make the most one sided ass stomping in human history look like a quagmire. It worked, scared all the ladies half to death and we got 8 years of Obama.

Did they demonstrate the one with the chainsaw bayonet?

The USA Today weapons expert can show them how that works, off camera of course.

I have a Garand that would make me look like a soldier from the past. It has the ability to be pretty lethal. Should it be banned even though it is not black or scary looking?

My daughter loves shooting my AR, because:

A. It’s a soldier-cool, arm shredding, murder machine.

B. It’s a fun, accurate, ergonomically adjustable, low-recoil rifle.

You decide.

More damage can be done faster with large vehicle and a crowd of people than with an AR-15.

We took one on a sailing trip around the Bahamas for protection against “pirates” who at the time had harassed and killed boaters in the area. Got to practice with it and were glad we had it. They shouldn’t ban them.

A classic blast from the past:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/firing-ar-15-horrifying-dangerous-loud-article-1.2673201

What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud

t felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.

One day after 49 people were killed in the Orlando shooting, I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers.

But mostly, I was just terrified . . .

I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection) . . .

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don’t know what you’re doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable . . .

[This is the kind of person some on our side try to convince using logic. I don’t bother. Some are pure evil, using any opportunity to disarm us so they can grab power. Others are sissies like this pansy. Either way, we cannot communicate with them using reason.]

Could be talking about the 1st Amendment.

Joseph Avery, who has more than 30 years of experience with the federal government in Army combat arms as an Air Force officer and in the Department of Defense...

Experience in Army combat arms as an Air Force officer?

What a load of crap ... well, CNN, which is the same thing.
