Unnamed assault weapon
We’ve heard parroted in the media over an over that the shooter in Oakland who killed some police officers used an assault weapon. It has never been named and, usually to the press, any gun is an AK47. It has been reported also that it was fully automatic (i.e., a machine gun). So, what was it? Well, Bill Quick sought to find out. The answer he received from the police (of all people) was surprising to me.

I’d still cut the white shirts some slack at this time. They lost four officers. They have to be going through several kinds of hell. Emotionally, and trying to analyze, “How the ____ did this happen? How can we keep it from happening again?” It’s going to be a while before they get their minds around it, and in the meantime they’ll go into insular mode.

I want the makes, models and serial numbers of the guns that Mixon used. Where is the journalism on this?

When silence is propaganda, our Marxist journalistas have nothing to say.

IMO the AK47 is the Journalist’s “Everygun” and a shortcut for a whole paragraph of pencil-splitting hysteria. I think he took my response wrong – but he’s a former 911 dispatcher who lives in Hunter’s Point, I just live in a cossetted suburb down the road.
