NARRATIVE FAIL: Orlando Islamic Terrorist Did NOT Use An AR-15

Sig-MCX-Full-Review-1

June 13, 2016 by The Arms Guide 3 Comments

The anti-gun politimedia wasted no time at all demonizing the most common rifle in the United States as being the real villain of the Islamic terrorist attack on Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

Newsweek screamed, “ORLANDO SHOOTING PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON AR-15 RIFLE.”

Judd Legume of Think Progress squeaked, “The NRA’s Love Affair With The AR-15, Weapon Of Choice For Mass Murderers, In 22 Tweets.”

Always wrong Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post whined, “The gun used in the Orlando shooting is becoming mass shooters’ weapon of choice.”

Here’s the thing.

The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was not an AR-15.

The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was instead a Sig Sauer MCX carbine, a modular, multi-caliber (able to swap to different calibers, including 5.56 NATO, 300 BLK, and 7.62×39) rifle system that sometimes utilizes STANAG magazines common to more than 60 different firearms, but otherwise has no major parts that interface with AR-15s in any way, shape or form.

This of course, will make no difference at all to the anti-gun politimedia, who don’t particularly care about factual accuracy and who likely wouldn’t be able to tell an AR-15 from a toaster oven if their lives depended on it.

All the media cares about is that they’ve wrapped their anti-gun dreams on demonizing the most popular rifle sold in the United States, and they’re going to keep attacking it, whether or not it was used in any particular incident or not.

    by now most pro 2nd people know’s the MSM isnt concerned about any truth especially when it comes to firearms… they will spew anti gun propaganda and literally lie about it cause they in the end are the ones that will have to apologize for the lies BUT they wont retract anything for the truth… cause the lies are their truth… its an agenda for them and we all know it.. Both the liberal media in print and on cable along with the main political establishment are pushing for it.. call it globalism or one word or whatever bottem line here is we are the last country standing with a armed civilian population and THEY can have that..
    the sad truth is that Jihad terrorism is here its just going to get worse from this point on.. the Muslim n chief has been letting them in by the thousands via the open boarders for just this purpose, instill fear and instability to the sheeple so the fedcoats can turn the USA into a police state and rob you of ALL your constitutional rights all for YOUR protection.. All the sheeple pleas get in line for the slaughter… the only thing in their way is the 2nd Amendment the patriotic ex n current police, ex and current military and the millions of patriotic civilian gun owners… so the MSM along with the Muslim n chief will villanise the weapon not the people, not the religion or the cause/reason it happened… this is old news and we all know it..

    Has anyone noticed that the discussion is not about the muslim/radical islam side of things- but the gun that he chose to use ? It’s not about who committed the atrocity nor about why he committed the atrocity, but the implement chosen..

    Democrats are just sad… No clue and so easily guided by their owners..

    Don’t know much about EBR they’re not my thing so I looked it up, http://www.sigevolution.com/sigmcx. They are expressly compatible with AR15 lower’s. In fact, it seems like it’s a modified upper primarily that relies on “legacy AR15” parts. That’s in the video…unless I’m just really confused…again I’m not an EBR guy so I find all this confusing.
