Right now, we still seem to be operating under the fog of war. There is so much misinformation and disinformation flying around that it's nearly impossible to get any real info out there. A prime example is the claim of the use of "bump fire" stocks - there have been various reports of anywhere from 2 to 12 of the rifles being equipped with them, and a major focus at the moment is these novelty stocks. That is almost entire and utter bullshit. Bump firing weapons is nothing more than a novelty - you can make a lot of noise if you do it carefully, but you couldn't hit the wall of a barn from the inside. That fire in the videos was auto fire, pure and simple. I don't believe for an instant that anyone could hit a target 360 yards away using bump fire. Not even a really big target an acre in size. There seems to be a big push on to outlaw bump fire stocks. DO IT dammit, and then shut the hell up and crawl back into your cave! No serious shooter give a rat's ass if you do, because they are useless for anything other than making a lot of noise and wasting a lot of ammo with no effect.
Give me a single shot .22 at the beginning of the war, and I'll have all the automatic weapons I can carry in a half hour. People are utterly fucking ignorant when it comes to firearms, it appears, if one goes by the hysteria blasting all over the news. Folks are gonna eat that crap up, without even dosing it down with ketchup.
I looked at the photos in the articles Sky posted, and it looks like a set up to me. Wrong weapons in the wrong places - for example, the one near the entrance door is scoped and on a bipod... and completely unloaded. there is NO magazine in it, or even near it. It was a set up for a photo op (meaning that those photos were "leaked" on purpose, and there will be no serious investigation into the leak as claimed), not a serious backup for an entry repulsion. You don't use a scoped weapon for that, you use iron sights, reflex sights, or no sights at all, because that is a close quarters situation. Conversely, the one near the window, with a bump fire stock, has NO bipod and a reflex sight for close quarters work, not long range shooting.
It. Is. A. Fucking. Scam. Everything about it smells WRONG. The "experts" they are plastering all over TV are blowing so much smoke up people's collective asses that it ought to be flowing out their ears like a volcano by now.
Of more concern is the hysterical voices comparing this to the Australian massacre that got the population of Australia disarmed in just a few weeks from the event, and calling for the same in the US. If you want to get this war rolling, that's the way to go... and I think that might be what they're aiming for.
I don't think I should post much more about it until the fog of war clears, and they finally get their goddamned story straight for public consumption. There is so much wrong here that I cannot possibly cover all of it. There isn't enough internet to hold all of the corrections to what is wrong.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
