There actually are revolver rifles, but I seriously doubt street kids own them.
There arent many left and most are in the hands of collectors who will never sell the things off.
I remember having a cap gun like that.

I wonder if CNN has stoners try to explain medical marijuana.
"it. like. fixes the evil spirits causing pain and it's banned because Bush is a nazi and the corporations...."

CNN News "reporting" has been accomplished by idiots with a 5th grade education for months now. Their stories aren't about truthfulness, as much as they're about sensationalism. The same can be said for 95% of the news agencies in the world these days. :thumbsdown:

Rifle, check. Used in an assault, check. Seems appropriately described.

So this is your understanding of root-word relationships. You know your sister is a 'girl' and also your 'friend'. But I've got some bad news for you Luke Skywalker...

Here in California, we have politicians that want to define 10/22 rifles as assault weapons that need to be registered for our safety. Two generations ago, 10/22 rifles were used on Main Street in Disneyland for kids to use in the shooting gallery.

that only lasted for a few months....

anyway, I can't find any evidence of a legit fair/carnival shooting gallery using .22LR, most of them are air based pellet guns.

.22LR was ALWAYS branded as kid friendly. It was a coming of age badge to get your first .22, and what a good feeling that was as a kid :)

low recoil, accurate, cheap, but STILL deadly and something to learn.


In conclusion, the media is ignorant because a large population of our country is still ignorant on firearms.

No, he's using your moronic statement to show what an idiot you are, and how tenuous your grasp of the English language is.
Thanks for reinforcing it.

I don't get it. Maybe you're just talking nonsense?
