The weapons' bayonets were still affixed to them, as were cartridges that can hold up to 30 rounds, they said.

Cartridges that can hold up to 30 rounds? Who hired this genius?

The AK-47s had been tampered with so they couldn't be rapidly fired, but the modification was one that could easily have been reversed, authorities said.

Tampered with? How about legally manufactured that way. Sounds like a shipment of Romanian WASR or SAR semi-automatic rifles which are perfectly legal for sale in the United States.

The assault weapons are a favorite with terrorists: Usama bin Laden sported one in the now-infamous footage of him taken after 9/11.

Bin Laden had a Soviet Krinkov....not a semi-auto Romanian AK clone.

AK-47s also have been the weapon of choice for some infamous military-minded wackos, such as the teens who shot up Columbine HS in Littleton, Colo., in 1999.

Wow.....this guy is just making it up as he goes along. There were no AK-47 type rifles used in that shooting. The "reporter" has a serious agenda going here.

Am I missing something? Where did those quotes come from?

You need to write in to the Post, both by email and by snail mail in the letters to the editor section.

"Cartridges that can hold up to 30 rounds? Who hired this genius?"
Hes obviously not a gun fanatic, besides to the normal person there isnt much diff between clip mag and cartridge.

"Tampered with? How about legally manufactured that way. Sounds like a shipment of Romanian WASR or SAR semi-automatic rifles which are perfectly legal for sale in the United States."

Yes except they werent, these were ak 47's that they do not manufacture. True enough tho.

"AK-47s also have been the weapon of choice for some infamous military-minded wackos, such as the teens who shot up Columbine HS in Littleton, Colo., in 1999"

hahaha this is where he sounds stupid, tru enough they didnt use ak's, and were they military minded? I thought they were just angry teenagers who couldnt take no more... not really military minded. That reminds me of SWAT, the bit where they try to spring the terrorist guy from the bus, and after the captain said they came under fire from automatic ak47's when all they used was a silenced pistol and a small submachine gun

What are you talking about? The article makes no reference to Colorado or to rounds. Are you making things up? I couldn't find any of this on the Post's site.

You are correct. The killers at Columbine used a couple of shotguns, a 9mm carbine, and a pistol. This article is an embarrasment.

Wow.....this guy is just making it up as he goes along. There were no AK-47 type rifles used in that shooting. The "reporter" has a serious agenda going here.

An earlier article on the same subject by the same author was posted on Free Republic yesterday. It was just as incoherent and nonsense filled as this one.

The standards for getting hired as a reporter on the NY Post don't appear to be too high, and most certainly do no involve the ability to write clearly or have any knowledge at all on the subject that you are writing about...

The "reporter" has a serious agenda going here.

And one that will escape almost all readers. The few who do notice it will have no effect as they cannot reach the attention of those that do not ( the paper will not run a correcting article).
