Get over it.
Get over what? You were wrong when you said it is an SKS. It is not an SKS. It is a semi-automatic rifle based on the SKS action as are the AK47 and a host of others.
Calling it an SKS does not make it an SKS.
Many bolt action rifles are based on the Mauser, but they are not Mausers. It's bad enought that the press can't get their gun facts right, we don't have to compound the error.
Shall we start calling every pistol with a double action trigger a Glock? I think not.

Calling it an SKS does not make it an SKS. I stand corrected. I have learned that it is actually an AKM/AK-47 knock-off and not an SKS knock-off.
So lets be accurate - it is a civilianized AKM/AK-47 clone.
Unless you believe the cosmetic touches make a difference.
