#8 Well, Beoserker, they were earlier reporting this as "the AK 47 variant called the SKS..."
See this piece at Ace's:
CNN claimed the SKS that Rachel Maddow-inspired assassin James Hodgkinson used was a "variant of the AK-47."
It's not. And that's important, because claiming it's a "variant" of the fully-automatic AK-47 makes it a lay-up for banning by the gun-grabbers; CNN's "error" just happens to track with the language that gun control groups would prefer.
In fact, the one-shot-per-trigger-pull SKS was developed before the AK-47, making it hard to see how this gun could be a "variant of" the full-auto AK-47.
But they refuse to correct.
Several observations:
Once again, I repeat that the media's ignorance here is an ignorance they're proud of. They don't like icky boy-stuff; they like lots of whipped cream on their moccachinos.
This is Genteel Ignorance, a cultivated ignorance that one is proud of, like an aristocrat proud that he has no idea how to fix his own door. We have "people" for that, after all...
...Media: We don't want to ban all guns, you Paranoid Gun-Lovers. We only want to ban the Bad guns.
Expert: But you just completely botched your identification of the "Bad" gun involved here.
Media: That doesn't matter, they all need to be banned eventually anyway.
They're giving the game away, and they don't even care that their lying is not even of the half-hearted level of exertion any longer.
They want you to know they're lying -- just as a serial killer, ultimately, wants you to know he's the one.
They're each proud of their respective butcheries. They want to be famous for them.
They are not just murdering facts; they are unleashing a Great Revolution with their ritualistic torture of basic facts. What is the point of doing so, if the world does not know who the Author of these noble murders is? |
