A gyrocopter is a tiny aircraft that looks like a helicopter but is pushed by a rear-mounted propeller while the unpowered overhead blades create lift. Looks like the news agencies know about as much about aircraft as they do firearms. |

Gee Painless, that would seem to be a reasonable discription of the majority of gyrocopters being flown today. It was a little vague and a gyro could be quite large instead of "tiny" but the description was better than most firearms stories by a good bit. What did you have a problem with?

Sorry, DonOhio39. My mistake. I misread it as saying the vehicle was "unpowered". A careful re-read indicates they were just refering to the overhead blades.
Thanks for the correction. |

I think a gyrocopter would be cool to [s]have[/s] build.
Small Easy to fly Simple Don't need much of a runway |

They've been showing a picture in the news, of a Postban AK variant with a thumbhole stock, that was supposedly his also.
Is that a Bushmaster bullpup on the link? It looks like it has a birdcage flash suppressor on the muzzle. I was under the presumption that those were all postban. Possible illegal convert? I laughed at the idea that there is conspiracy of gun crimes going up around an upcoming ban, but boy I'm really kinda getting creaped out now. [peep] |

Personally, I thought he was just getting ready to have some Industrial Strength Rock & Roll target practice.
But a $3 dollar lock? And that note he wrote? America’s Dumbest Criminals has a new Headliner. [noclue] |

Pre-bans exist, and some have been legally converted to post-ban configuration by BM while retaining their pre-ban status and ability to legally mount a flash suppressor. Impossible to tell from the photo provided. I'm sure BATFE is checking it out as we type. |

A radio report also said he has a diary about some woman he knew, which toward the end turned toward a description of how he was going to kidnap her and a list of duct tape, handcuffs etc. that he needed to have Bet that was a fun phone call when they told her about it. |
