Red-handed: Associated Press caught inserting “assault rifle” into Alabama hostage st

[PoliticalChic]

If I hear something I do not like outside at night I go out with a maglite and a .357. that patrolling my yard with an evil firearm and I'm mentally ill?

Then, it's too bad Bigfoot doesn't exist, Sassyquatch!

Now, getting back to the thread, why do some people consider a change from a shotgun to an assault rifle to have the meaning they claim? The AP is reporting what they are told and it's paranoid to believe they are changing the story. It's reasonable to believe what they are being told is changing the story and they are just reporting what they are told.

There is a big problem in this country involving crime and the news. Quite often when there is a big story, I notice the news is getting information from unauthorized sources or leaks. The news sometimes reports it as fact and later discovers it doesn't match the authorized facts. Conspiracy people look for ways to exploit the discrepancies when the real problem is people are reporting hearsay misinformation that is quite common in an early investigation of the facts. It's police policy to give out very little information about an ongoing investigation and they do that for many reasons, but one of the reasons is to avoid presenting the facts until they are absolutely sure what the facts are.

We don't have the sources of information on the guns that could be in that bunker. It could be a neighbor was in the bunker and noticed an assault rifle or noticed Dykes had an assault rifle before this incident.

Dykes’ neighbor Michael Creel told the AP that the man, who has been described as a paranoid Navy veteran, showed off the ventilation pipe after installing it about a year ago.

“He was bragging about it,” Creel told the AP. “He said, ‘Come check it out.’”

According to the neighbor, a paranoid old man shows off a ventilation shaft to his bunker. We know he killed a bus driver and took a 5 year old kid. I can see a connection between paranoid and a bunker as well as paranoid and firearms, but a ventilation pipe to a bunker isn't going to get you air if someone is coming to get you. Why wouldn't they just plug it up of put something destructive down the pipe? Showing off a ventilation shaft isn't rational, if the person was using the bunker for lewd purposes, like taking a child might imply.

At this point, the behavior of Dykes is speculation. He could have shot the bus driver due to some kind of animosity towards him and just took the child as a hostage for his own protection. The shooting victim was about the same age. The man could just be crazy and his behavior doesn't have a rational basis.

I think it's rather early to speculate about these events and treat such speculation as facts.

It's certainly too early to tell if Dykes has a shotgun, assault rifle or both in that bunker. Many have both and much more, so why can't he?

"...why do some people consider a change from a shotgun to an assault rifle to have the meaning they claim?"

Excellent!!

Your superiors will be alerted to your attention to the rules in the Liberal Playbook, in this case, rule #6b!

6. Claim to misunderstand, obfuscate, deflect and change the subject, and, if all else fails, allege that you misspoke.
a. Remember, left-wingers may make a ‘mistake,’ for right-wingers, it is a lie!
b. When relating a series of events that lead to a conclusion, if it is a right-wing conclusion, we must never see the connection! Never, ever, be able to connect the dots!
c. Any exposure of detrimental information must be referred to as either ‘fear-tactics,’ or ‘red-baiting.’
d. No matter how strong the opposition argument or data, always respond with “you falsely claimed…” or “I exposed your lies…” or “I destroyed your argument…” or 'that's just your opinion' etc.


Congratulations......merit badge on the way!

Why wouldn't I know what an assault rifle is, dumbass, I've owned them? Assault weapons that get banned are spelled out in the laws that ban them, so there is no confusion about what they are, except in your limited mind, Sassyquatch!

I don't know if you have why are you asking? I doubt it.

I'm sure I know more about assault weapons than you do.

All you need to know is the law determines what qualifies as an assault weapon, so that common point made by gun nuts is bogus. You are told flat out you can't have a certain weapon or one that has a certain feature. A particular weapon is either legal or illegal and the ban is usually based on sales of weapons made at a certain date. From the laws I've read, it would be legal to sell weapons made before that date.

If you weren't a fucking dummy, you may have read what I said many times and that's I don't want an assault weapons ban, but the people in this country have the right to ban assault weapons, if that's what the majority of people want. When you live in a society, you don't aways get what you want. I don't have a problem not getting what I want, if the majority of people want something else.

I'm sure I know more about assault weapons than you do.

I hear you idiots saying that, but it's just talk.

Are you idiots going to leave the site out of the embarrassment of spreading lies if they find an assault rifle in that bunker?

Hell no, you'll be here spreading more lies, because that's all you do on these sites!

So what if they find a so called assault rifle. That doesn't mean that he never carried a shotgun. I bet that you don't even know what an assault rifle is, if you did you would know that he could not legally own one without a class 3 license. Fecking left-wing hype.

Why wouldn't I know what an assault rifle is, dumbass, I've owned them? Assault weapons that get banned are spelled out in the laws that ban them, so there is no confusion about what they are, except in your limited mind, Sassyquatch!

Your so full of shit! What is an assault weapon? Oh that's right if it looks scary it's an assault wepaon. You sure post a lot of stupid stuff on this Board.

What's the difference between a Ruger 10/22, and an Ar-15, besides their obvious cosmetic differences?

An AR-15 doesn't shoot .22 long rifle ammo and a Ruger 10/22 does, unless there is some kind of variant I haven't heard about. There is a lot more lead at a much faster speed with that 5.56 mm ammo. It's much more lethal.

There comes a time when someone decides that should shut up. Will this be your time?

And yes you can take a 22 long and shoot through an M16

The AR-15 was first built by ArmaLite as a selective fire rifle for the United States armed forces.

Dude I was in the Air Force we carried M16'S

In service 1963–present
The M16 rifle, officially designated Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16, is the United States military version of the AR-15 rifle. The rifle was adapted for semi-automatic, three-round burst, and full-automatic fire.[6] Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 from ArmaLite, and currently uses that designation only for semi-automatic versions of the rifle

Why do you make it so easy to kick your stupid ass?

In the Air Force during basic training back when I was in they used 22 long with an adapted magazine and bolt to qualify with.
I didn't start shooting the 5.56 round until after basic.

I'm aware that the Navy and Air Force qualify with BB guns during basic training.

Indeed -- I have such a device.
The military uses them as well; that's all we shot in our on-campus ROTC classes.

Dumb ass the Air Force started with the M1 then went too the M14 for a short time and switch to the M16 IN 1966. Around the same time the army made the switch completely
And no the air Force never qualified with BB's to my knowledge, you are starting to sound like a little whiny bitch.
