#1 So every firearm used in a mass shooting by some psychopathic nut is a Glock or an AR-15? BTW, the preferred journalistic psychopathic nut is a conservative, Tea Party member or Trump supporter.

#2 The writer, Bob Owens, is wrong. Sig Sauer offers the upper separately, stating it is compatible with a mil std AR-15 lower receiver. I didn't find a part number, though.

It is a good looking upper. Kind of like the LMT MRP (which I like better).

#3 The antigun nuts only know two "assault rifles"

AR-15 and the AK-47. Everything that looks like them falls into those categories.

#4 Couldn't we just settle for a generic term like "semi-automatic assault rifle"?

#5 Well, the anti-gun crowd has "willful ignorance of what they fear / hate" down pat. Definition of prejudice, isn't it?

#6 The Journalists Firearms Identification Table at the link is a hoot. It seems we could use that in our library. :-)

#8 Well, according to Tom Brokaw, it was an AR-14.

He was an anchorman, you know.

#9 PBS News tonight had a big expose on the AR-15 that the killer used.
