If I had *led* or begun the headline of a news story with a number back in my own newspaper days, I believe my editor would have shot me with a machinegun.

Either this reporter has their head up their typical arse in terming a Mini-14 an MG, or they are really referring to an AC-556.

It's always fun until somebody gets shot.

Since when is a Ruger mini-14 a machine gun?

What are the chances that this Mini-14 is actually fully automatic (and therefore a "machine gun")?

I observe that in 15 comments, not a single expression of empathy toward the innocent victim of this shootin' safari has been expressed. Lotsa talk about how cool the guns are though.

Always be sure of your target and what's beyond it... Not to mention, some adult supervision might have been in order considering the hardware involved.
Left and Right range limits, anyone? This doesn't sound like a ricochet, more like a loss of muzzle control...

A Min-14 is a machine gun? I don't think so.

Well, no wonder they shot this woman - she had a machine gun, and on a tractor, no less. LOL

The right to keep and bear arms does not automatically confer intelligence upon those who take advantage of the right. Stupid people often hurt innocent people. Sometimes they hurt people with guns.
It is not the gun. It is the stupid people, Stupid!

This is journalistic malpractice.

the boys, ages 13 and 16, were target practicing on Bisson Lane, south of Polson,
I find it hard to believe that there are no shooting ranges in Montana.
