Please include Jimmy Jr.

So do enlighten us . Why is MSM not covering this as they would if the perp was white or the weapon an AR?

Rhetorical

The weapon was an AR. Did you not see my explanation above?

You’re inferring something not implied.

Truth in politics and MSM is perception and how it fits their narrative . Their narrative is black assault “rifles”, violent WHITE guys and racism . (Even though their end game is all guns).
If their criteria isn’t reached they shut a story down.


Rifle isn’t “black assault rifle” , kill it
Guy isn’t white, kill it
Perp black, Middle East,Muslim,Mexican, kill it or go out of their way to negate race.

That’s my point of the whole thread. It’s propaganda not reporting.

Did you not read the articles header?
Democrats Coasting on Boulder Shooting to Ban 'Assault Weapons' Hit a Snag as Police Reveal There Was No Rifle Involved

It will be labeled an

Semi Automatic Assault Style Pistol.

The "Assault Style" is the new flavor.
They can get away from the correct argument from the pro 2A side that the formerly used term "Assault Weapon" is applicable only to fully automatic weapons.

Listened to NPR the other day while in Radio Wasteland. They were throwing around the "Assault Style " words like tennis balls at the dog park.

Boulders Assault Weapon ban, which included AR pistols, hit a snag due to Colorado's preemption statute. That's why even our liberal state courts struck it down.

they should ban democrats brainwashing people to do mass killings. way easier fix

How many times have you heard these squawking heads use the term "automatic weapons" lately?

They use a term once and get away with it, it's on forever.

My point was arguing the particulars of the gun type vs shooter is a nutjob is a bad way to go. Non gun folks will never grasp the particulars. They dont want to. They don't want anyone to have any guns so why engage them. Only a fool argues with fools. Our stance is he is a nutjob gun types are irrelevent and we accept no further restriction.

A skilled shooter with a cowboy setup or pump shotgun could inflict mass casualties. The issue is criminals and the mentally ill not the gun or its particulars.

Antelope most on here are gun folks so you are barking at the wrong folks. WTF saying we do not know laws and to use our brain cells. I know the AR platform and the ATF rules. As an example I also know the ATF rules are ridiculous and they flip flopped over shouldering a pistol with a brace. I also know pefectly well a vertical pistol grip on pistol goes AOW but there is an atf letter making a magpull AFG ok. You want to try to explain an AR pistol is not an AR? Per the rules no but it walks and talks like a duck. It is a ridiculuos dance of symantics led by useless bureacrats If you think explaining the particulars of this will win any hearts and minds then maybe you should take your own advice.

Right. Fools need to be kept in check so they don't harm anyone, or society in general. No point in arguing with them.

FBI was aware of him and another friend , details at 11.

I’m not arguing that weapon type is relevant. The link to the story header , the media did.


I’m saying the media using it or the perp or victims race/creed/color/religion to decide if/how they cover the story is the issue.
.

Mine is a criticism of reporting .

They used to vaguely shield their bias, now it’s up front and they don’t give a rats ass. Like the way they are reporting the two girls that murdered that man.
