Whoa! Something is wrong here. The reporting actually said M4 rifle, not “assault rifle”? Some editor’s head is going to roll for not staying on message.

“The reporting actually said M4 rifle, not “assault rifle”? “

That is because it is a police rifle. If it had been a private range, different story.

If it's an actual M4 in police service, not some m4orgery, then it is by correct definition an "assault rifle" (intermediate cartridge, select fire switch). The media didn't report it as such because they are allergic to telling the truth. Also, the assault rifle didn't jump out of Trump's hands and murder everyone around him, so it's not following PC narrative.

Give it time. The MSM will breathlessly make a hash of this eventually.

Yeah but they say he blasted the M4. How do they get “blast” from a .223?

funny thing is, if it's a real M4, it IS an assault rifle... the M4 is a select fire weapon
