Wait, who was shot?!!!!!Unlike the well informed public. They just tune in to Off Topic in this forum and learn all they need to know!![]()
The collapsible (telescoping) stock reduces the overall length of an AR15 by 4 to 6 inches at most. Using the takedown pins to separate the rifle into two pieces is a much more effective way to conceal it. And it takes less than 10 seconds to reassemble it. Just like with bump stocks, they’re trying to deflect the blame onto the firearm rather than the disturbed individuals involved in every shooting that happens.
In all honesty this shooter could have been carrying a Kentucky long rifle and still been able to get onto the roof with it. They’re just wrong if they think it wouldn’t have happened if his rifle didn’t have a collapsible stock.
Agree to disagree on that point.I don't see it as "deflection" or political though. It's just incompetence. FBI director has no familiarity with the tools of the trade and it's embarrassing. Probably hasn't held an AR in decades.
