Please note that no where is this CNN person corrected on the use of “AK-47” or “assault rifle”. The Fox article writer does not seem to realize it either— that the firearm in the picture is likely an air rifle/pellet gun/.22

I’d hate to lead an assault with that as my weapon LOL.

I caught that too. I was more concerned about the bb gun being reported as an AK-47 assault rifle than I was about the fake picture flub

To be specific, the “firearm” in the picture is a Crossman .177 pellet gun/BB gun. You pump up the air reserve by cocking the forearm of the gun.

And if they had asked anyone who has been around guns their entire life, they would have spotted that in a second.

Morons. Nothing but morons as far as the eye can see in the mainstream media.
