Christopher Lee Cornell: AR-15 rifle bought by local terror suspect was used in Sandy Hook massacre
WATCH the destructive power of the AR-15 in Bryce Anslinger's video report above. GREEN TWP., Ohio – It's chilling to know that the semi-automatic rifle that Christopher Cornell allegedly bought for his terror plot is the same type used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, according to the New York Times. "It would be sort of the choice for someone who wanted to do ... the 'spray and pray,'" local terror expert Ed Bridgeman told 9 On Your Side Thursday. Authorities say that's just how Cornell planned to use it – to gun down as many people as he could at the U.S. Capitol after he set off a series of pipe bombs. An expert at Target World gave 9 On Your Side a close look at the destructive power and ease of use of the AR-15. "Put the magazine in, pull the charging hammer and you're ready to go," Bridgeman said. The Target World employee fired off a 20-round clip. It took four seconds. Bridgeman says the AR-15 is the type of weapon that can do the most damage and be purchased legally in the U.S. "As fast as you can squeeze the trigger, it'll put rounds down range, and you don't have to be a good marksman," Bridgeman said. ... The AR-15 is known for its destruction, not accuracy, Bridgeman said. "It's not a good sniper weapon but good for laying down a lot of fire down range," Bridgeman said. |

Where can I buy one of these "charging hammers"? And is it compatible with keymod?

Every non-gun person that sees this will immediately agree which is the scary thing.
To us we know the difference that its not a charging hammer, that its not a clip, that it is indeed used for accuracy. But to the main stream public they take all this guys points straight to heart. Its hard to change their minds. We are fucked. |

I so badly want the pendulum to swing the other way. Just imagine the ignorant population eating up everything our side says.

local terror expert Ed Bridgeman View Quote ...knows jack shit about firearms, apparently. |

Why do gun shops still talk to the media?
They have to know that no less than 90% of the stories are NOT going to portray their business and chosen profession in a good light. My HOPE is that the employee they quoted had way more to say but the media picked over his comments and pulled out the couple they wanted - out of context. |

Fuck ALL those people. Seriously...fuck 'em right in their ignorant asses.

After pulling the charging hammer and emptying my clip, I then engage the magazine degrease.

So let me see if I understand the hoplophobic anti gunner's logic...
AR-15 is a destructive device because of the amount of firepower it can lay down with each pull of the trigger (which fires one round).... But the Mini-14 which uses the same ammunition, uses similar capacity detachable magazines as the AR-15, isn't a destructive device with each pull of the trigger (which also fires one round)... Gotta love the logic the anti's use to justify banning firearms simply based on cosmetic features that have no impact on the function of the firearm. Because the AR-15 black and scary looking they feel its more destructive than the Mini-14. Wait wouldn't that mean their racists? |

Some guy named Bridgeman who works at a local gun range is a terror expert?
|

"As fast as you can squeeze the trigger, it'll put rounds down range, and you don't have to be a good marksman," Bridgeman said.
= Bullshit |

Well fuck me.
First of all, I don't even have a shoulder thing that goes up and now I find out there's a charging hammer? And my flat stock 20" HBAR with a Geiselle SSA-E will shoot about 1MOA and that's not good enough? |
|
It'd be nice if these gunshops would wise up about the press.
They are your enemy. Tell them to fuck off. |

This shop "Target World" and their IDIOT spokesman "Bridgeman" apparently aren't quite sure which team they should be batting for.
Nice going you freakin moron. If this store was in my area, I'd be sure to explain in detail why I'd never drop a nickle with them and spread the message in hopes others fellow suit. |

The "terror expert" isn't even interviewed at the gun store. I'd really like to know why Target World would put on an AR-15 demonstration for the local news and think it would result in an accurate and non-sensationalized report. |
