Why so shy? Trump blasts M-4 rifle at targets before meeting police – and even hits two bullseyes
Daily Mail ^

Donald Trump fired off an M-4 rifle on Thursday as he took his 'law and order' appeal to a gun range at a North Carolina police lodge.

But his campaign team wouldn't release a photo he took with police officers who joined him at the shooting range, and individual officers weren't allowed to shoot their own pictures with the presidential candidate, an officer told DailyMail.com.

Early reviews are that Trump was right on target when he aimed and fired.

'He fired several shots. I saw two for-sure bullseyes. At the distance we were I couldn’t tell you there wasn’t more,' Ron 'Duck' Wyatt, the mayor of nearby Troutman told DailyMail.com.

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.

Trump could actually become a true US super hero if he stays on the right path.

Smart move, those officers would be future targets of liberal harassment...........

I think "no pics" was a good call. It's called wisdom.

The Dems can't re-write the title of the pic.

“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 NBC had those pictures they would juxtapose Trump shooting school children while laughing it up with the NRA.

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.

He needs to extend his right arm farther and... oh, never mind.
He does that anyway, every time he gives a foreign policy speech.
