why did it have to be the evil "assault rifle"?

[WhitleyStu]

When I lived in Fort Wayne I would call the local TV stations and ask to speak to the news dept and explain the proper wording for the firearms referred to in their stories. Maybe some of you folks in the area might call the news outlets covering this story and ask them to correct their erroneous reporting of the firearms used. Unless someone speaks up this will continue to happen.

Stu, I have had contact with a couple of the reporters for the Journal Gazette out of FW over the improper usage of terms and failure to get details right about the LTCH. I even asked them to do the research and put it in a file, like a sticky here on INGO, that they could refer to because one told me that they "have to look up the regs every time something happens."

Did it have a barrel shroud?

God NOOOOO! Not the barrel shroud.

always seem to be somebody that has to commit their crimes with the "assult rifle". got to draw more attention and scrutiny on a hot topic. i do realize that it is more likely an assult style than the real deal but pics and press are well....damaging to the rest of. the 1%ers are gonna continue to make it difficult. rant finished this is about the robberies in indy this moring...sorry

If it weren't an "assault rifle" it would have been a highly powered super accurate sniper rifle, if it weren't that then it would have been a Saturday nigh special, if not that then a high capacity automatic pistol, blah blah blah... maximum velocity rubber powered silent slinger of stinging poison instant death nuggets.
