"Holmes’ cache of firearms included a high-powered AR-15 assault rifle and a drum-style magazine clip that allowed the weapon to carry extra ammunition."

"...high-powered AR-15 assault rifle..."
I thought it was just a 5.56mm...

"...a drum-style magazine clip that allowed the weapon to carry extra ammunition..."
I do not even know how to respond to that one. Where do I find me one of them there "drum style magazine clip" thingies? I do love the media; they do try so hard.

We're losing the poll. Someone should post this on a bigger forum like arfcom to get the vote up.

Inkognito,

The media got it right he had what appears to be a 100rd beta mag. You can buy the Korean copies for about $100. Poll Hitted.

Umm. we are winning? the question is written oddly.. it is almost a trick question how the article is written. The headline of the article is the complete opposite of the poll question. the correct answer is No which is ahead 75% to 25%

The actual poll question:
"The assault rife James Holmes used in the Aurora theater shooting was purchased legally. Should that weapon be outlawed?"

The article headline:
"Web Poll: Should it be legal to own an assault rifle?"

I'm sure that there's no yellow journalism involved in the wordings...

Also, anyone catch the mention of the suspect not having a concealed weapons license and then immediately jumping to the weapons he had? Caught them on Fox News saying the same thing. So, are they just looking for something to blame or giving fuel to the anti-gunners yet again?

Yep i see that now. I was falling asleep when i read the headline. That'll learn me to read when i'm tired. I was up since 3am yesterday morning. Doesn't matter i didn't vote until now.

A beta is a drum. Not a "drum like magazine clip". Magazines, Clips, and Drums are each a different thing as we all know. I know I'm paranoid but I think its just an attempt to get all three in the conversation of items that need to be banned or controlled.

I noticed that as well. I thought I was just being paranoid again...maybe I am, and you are too

Arby · July 21, 2012, 10:05

You had me worried there, def90! I was afraid I had voted incorrectly so I had to go back and read it again to make sure I hadn't messed up. Good call on the wording!

Not only do they have trouble with knowing about that which they speak, but they can't even get the spelling correct of the object in question:

"The assault rife James Holmes used in the Aurora theater shooting was purchased legally. Should that weapon be outlawed?"

NEWFNL1A1 · July 21, 2012, 10:22

Oh yeah, now I remember...I have the "no govt tracking" add-on for Firefox...dumb me!

All jokes aside, the poll function doesn't show up. Anyone else?

No.

A poll and $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee, maybe. Polls are simply designed now intentionally, to get people to change their thinking, not poll what they are thinking.

It's simple now. Ignore all polls if published by the liberal media. Only one poll has validity and COUNTS, Nov. 6, 2012, and the next most important day would be Jan. 20, 2013.

FAL freek · July 21, 2012, 22:55

73% say no. Think those in elected office will get nervous?

Root66 · July 23, 2012, 17:27

Like most of those polls, you can log off and back on and vote numerous times. (Hint, hint)

Vote early and vote often, as often as it takes for your side to win. Oh and like the dibold electronic voting machines, if your side doesn't win we can fix that. Welcome to the USSA.
