lmao, i didn't think of that. hmm maybe they're very knowledgeable and decided in their wording after all.... NOOOOT 0Couldn't have been a couple of Browning High Powers could they? Naw that would be way too accurate for the media. Snicker snicker.
as Bull from 'Night Court' used to say:This fails as a straw man fallacy.
.......as an update to this, the "lefty anti-Trump psycho" was arrested without incident @ 6:00 a.m. morning in a small town about 35 miles from my home and about 5 miles from my oldest son's cabin(where he, his family, our youngest son, my wife and I are at celebrating the Easter holiday). He was found at a makeshift campsite on a Farm just 3 miles from the local High School. All those "High Powered" handguns were found nearby. The person responsible for the tip is $20,000 richer today.undoubtedly everyone here has heard the fake news gun-control propaganda term 'high-powered rifle'. well, today - while watching my local abc fake news affiliate report on the manhunt for the lefty anti-trump psycho - they reported he stole, among other things, 'high-powered handguns'. i got a good laugh at their ever hysterical creativity, so i figured i'd share in case it was new to anyone else
Well, we can just thank our lucky stars that he didn't get a hold of any ghost guns or 30 round magazine clips!
Or any long guns with "the thing that goes up"
Did anyone ever figure out exactly what that old bat was referring to as "the thing that goes up?"
I believe she was talking about some of the scary things that made a gun an assault rifle, like a barrel shroud. When asked what a barrel shroud was, that's what she said. Obviously a firearms expert!
My presumption was that she had confused a shoulder support--like that on an M-14--with whatever she imagines a "barrel shroud" might be.what that old bat was referring to as "the thing that goes up?"
Any kind of gun term mistake including the term "sniper"-for any person that can hit a 9" pie plate at 100 yards.

I am constantly amazed at the idiocy of so many in the news business today. I spent the 1970s as a crime reporter for a daily newspaper and in that era there were specialists in that field who were expected to know a lot about firearms, wound ballistics, etc., if only through daily exposure and close association with the cops. When I described weaponry in a story I simply used the obvious terms like ".38 caliber revolver." I also enjoyed writing the stories about home or business owners who used firearms to protect themselves and others. Saw a good number of dead bad guys and thought well meet a little street justice dude! Of course I was raised around guns, knew them pretty well and continue to own and carry today. But I suspect I would not fit in well in the modern newsroom. There just don't seem to be any professional police reporters around these days, so it is no wonder that no one can seem to get even then little things like a handgun caliber right.
My presumption was that she had confused a shoulder support--like that on an M-14--with whatever she imagines a "barrel shroud" might be.
Which ought to demonstrate the utter folly of having gun laws based on cosmetic appearances.
