Media hyping use of AK-47...but it's an SKS

buffalowinter · Sep 15, 2024

A multitude of news sites are all citing the use of an AK-47. In the picture below, you can see from the gas tube it is an SKS. The square fore end is probably a Tapco stock'

Journalists are as stupid as they are dishonest. Any bets on which FBI office provided the gun and helped him hide????? Was it the local Miami guys or is this a DC job. Like the fake DNC bombs on Jan 6th.

I just saw a report that said it was a "machine gun"

shocker. the MSM is usually so accurate on gun related reporting.

Could be worse. At least it wasn’t identified as an AR-15…

What, the media is telling lies?

Say it ain't so!

Can't let facts get in the way of pushing a narrative.

But was it full semi auto?

Typically they lie, but in this case they just don't know what they're talking about. Which is the norm when it comes to firearms.

Well, ABC got it right today and identified it as an SKS on the nightly news.

I'm surprised that it wasn't labeled a Garand

Doesn’t fit the narrative. Only has an 8 round magazine. And, it’s not a detachable box. No pistol grip. No threaded muzzle. Not an assault rifle…

I thought the narrative was anything semi-auto

The Garand isn’t scary and black. If it were a person, it would be the great white hope. Maybe the Garand white hope…

How long till they claim SKS stands for "Sniper Kill System" and doesn't belong in the hands of civilians?
