More distortion from NPR on gun control and Mexico - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

NPR reported this morning that Mexican drug runners are getting "M16s" from the United States.

M16 is the fully automatic rifle that the military uses. They are "full-auto". Very few M16s are in public circulation, none of them new, all of them made in 1986 or before, and all require special licensing and regulation, and they typically run for at least 10,000$ apiece, if not closer to 20k.

So once again we see the liberal media conflating semi-auto rifles with "fully auto machine guns." They do this on purpose in order to confuse the public and push forward their agenda to ban all guns.

NPR is esp. guilty of this, and more than once, and I don't believe they are mistakes anymore. I believe they are deliberate deceptions.

Do not support NPR. Do not send them money.

Never have. Never will.

It's no surprise that the leftists at NPR are lying about this. Those who hate the 2nd Amendment will do everything they can to disarm law abiding citizens. What's shameful is that NPR would most like never allow a pro-gun commentator to say anything. They can't force their politics if there's an opposing point of view.
