NARRATIVE FAIL: Orlando Islamic Terrorist Did NOT Use An AR-15
Bearing Arms ^ | June 13, 2016 | Bob Owens

The anti-gun politimedia wasted no time at all demonizing the most common rifle in the United States as being the real villain of the Islamic terrorist attack on Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

Newsweek screamed, “ORLANDO SHOOTING PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON AR-15 RIFLE.”

Judd Legume of Think Progress squeaked, “The NRA’s Love Affair With The AR-15, Weapon Of Choice For Mass Murderers, In 22 Tweets.”

Always wrong Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post whined, “The gun used in the Orlando shooting is becoming mass shooters’ weapon of choice.”

Here’s the thing.

The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was not an AR-15.

Collapsible stock and is lightweight. Easy to conceal under arm wearing a jacket.

What you must understand is that if the rifle looks something like an AR-15 to the writer, that’s close enough.

I think I saw the multi clip Glock on shark tank. I believe Lori Grenier sells it on QVC.

He used a $2,000 rifle that is similar to an AR15 in appearance but not design or function.

It can use AR magazines, but so can a Daewoo rifle which this Sig is more like than it is to an AR.

It’s summer in Florida. No jackets. Must have had it under his skirt.

Early reports said he went outside after shooting the guard, then returned to the club. Possibly had long gun in car or stashed nearby and only had handgun at first?

Who cares???...the AR-15 is a semi automatic rifle. Gene Autry and Roy Rogers used semi automatic handguns in the 1930’s. When you pull the trigger, one bullet is fired.....

It was identified as a sig AR variant. This thread is pretty futile.

There could be an extensive thread to document all the absolutely asinine, incorrect statements made by the Dems and the MSM about any subject.

The movies I saw them in they used single action revolvers. And they could them all day without reloading. But I did not see all their movies.

Hubbie told me that the Spanish news this evening reported that the ‘AR-15’ used was fully automatic. He didn’t catch where the info came from, or whether it seemed like it was someone who knew what they were talking about.

Changing the subject slightly, I wonder if this madman was one of those whose records were erased on orders from the obama administration.

““He had a Glock that held several clips”. - B.H. Obama”

The Glock that holds several clips is like the internet video that caused the Benghazi killings and the Muslim boy that designed and built the “cool clock.”

They exist only in the mind of Obama, the Democrats and the MSM.

Yes the AR-15 bottom of the third column is really a GLOCK. and obviously rep Grayson does not understand the concept of maximum sustained rate of fire a weapon is capable of vs realistic rate of fire.

Thank you. I had begun to regret even asking the question, but I really did want to know. Your info is appreciated.
