The cowardly police force who did jack shit in Uvalde are now claiming the shooter had a "battle rifle," and the libs can't decide what retarded angle to take. They seem split between a few choices. Ironically, "ACAB" is the least objectionable when it comes to gun rights.

The other options are "hahaha, myth of good guy with gun busted," which ignores that at least these cops were bastards, and my favorite "hahaha, and they said there was no such thing as a battle rifle!" which ignores that...well, it ignores a fuckton.

There is a battle rifle. But the shooter didn't have one. The cops are just absolute retards. Everyone is spinning up over a comment by, and giving credence to, the people who fucked up in every way imaginable.

For a few examples:

"AR-15s" is trending on Twitter. Always a good time.

Reddit latched on.

My favorite Reddit comments are the idiots saying they know a lot about guns, but all of them get it wrong. Calling M16s battle rifles. Talking about 5.56 vs 9mm penetration while ignoring tumbling. Acting like anyone ever claimed that there was no such thing as a battle rifle. The whole thing is amazing. The biggest mistake aside from their general ignorance, is taking the lying Uvalde cops at their word about 'battle rifles' and armor piercing capabilities, or that the existence of rifle could sensibly result in the tactical holdoff of a freaking army of (allegedly) trained law enforcement officers.

Here's a good one:

The gunnit line for years has been "AR-15 isn't an assault rifle, it isn't a military weapon, it's chambered for the same rounds as a handgun, it's a peashooter, it's harmless" apparently they don't believe that bullshit themselves and boy howdy am I not surprised.

For the first part, it's not an assault rifle, it's not military, and I've never heard the other load of nonsense. And then they finish by, once again, giving credence to a bunch of losers who stood around while kids were murdered. Yeah, I'll take their opinion on anything with a grain of salt.

Basically, Uvalde cops are shit, anti-gunners know they're shit, but will still believe their lies wholesale if it means they can hate on guns. Disgusting. And stupid, very stupid.
