Dear CNN: Really? This animation of a bump stock is just EMBARRASSING

You can’t make this up.

CNN attempted to explain to viewers how a “bump stock” works, but the animation of the AR-15 doesn’t even include a bump stock. CNN did give the rifle a grenade launcher and suppressor, however.

The animation did not show a “bump fire stock”. At all.
It did show an adjustable stock inexplicably sliding in & out, and included the irrelevant, rare, & scary suppressor and grenade launcher.

A slide stock is a bump stock.

The animation matches the gun in their video.

It's not "bump stock," it's "bump-fire stock." The MSM nitwits who reported on the Vegas shooting fot it wrong, and now everybody is parroting them.

But there’s something ... lascivious about it that I like very much.

The animation makes you wonder who they bought the ‘piece’ from. Maybe some Russian fake news guy?

If I watched this video and took it serious....I’d draft a law against grenade launchers being sold to the public.

The CNN people don't know anyone who knows anything about weapons, and they are too "know-it-all" to ask someone who does, or to look things up, so they make up their own truths and then believe that they are experts.

You are so grossly uninformed. Grenade launchers and bayonets come in cereal boxes you ninny.

Silencers some free in special Cracker Jack boxes.

(Yea, I used their word for suppressor)

You also get a free Thousand round magazine when you buy two or more Atomic Beam flashlights. Just pay separate shipping and handling

FWIW Cnn doesn’t have a broadcast license—they are exclusively cable/satellite. FCC has no authority over them.

I keep hearing that and to some degree I suppose it is correct. However, I do hear 'of' them broadcasting on the radio. Does that not require license? I used to hear them personally on the radio, I quit doing that a long long time ago.
