Yep, the reporter just called it a "Folding stock SKS assault rifle".
It was a shootout between rival gangs in Fort Worth at a Gas Station. Ben |

Gang bangers go to the range even less often than police officers.

Neither. The guy emptied a whole SKS detachable magazine using the beirut off hand and didn't hit a thing if I recall correctly. You could see him hold the rifle up with the pistol grip hand at an angle and fire. Gangster firing an SKS..I NEVER thought I'd see the day! Ben |

Was he holding the gun sideways? That could explain why he couldn't anything. |

From what I remember he actually hit two other GB'ers and two bystanders. Nobody seriously hurt though. This happened late last week. |

It is up at:
Banger Shootout (divx required) I lost the original file from earlier this week, this is the one that aired today. Only real difference is prior to the shooting, the guy in white shirt walks from white car to his, pops trunk, and pulls out gun. This video takes it from there. |

Unfortunately, you are incorrect. SKS's get confiscated on a regular basis.

I've seen them at out at Alipine "practicing" on the 100 yard range. The only think I can tell you about them is: If they are shooting at you from 100 yards. Just stand still and you'll be fine. R. |

Notice how the reporter put extra emphasis on "SKS semi-automatic ASSAULT RIFLE.

Thanks for writing in to NBC 5. I will notify the reporter of the error and let the newsroom know that in the future, the word "assault" should not be used when talking about this particular weapon.
Thanks again for writing in to NBC 5. Elvira Sakmari Executive Producer NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth Interesting information from our reporter on that story... -Elvira Sakmari Executive Producer this particular rifle had a 30-round banana clip that was illegal under the newly lifted assault weapons ban... so tehcnically you could argue that it became an assault weapon simply by making that addition to the weapon -Brett johnson, NBC5 reporter |

So technically the place the shootout happened should be called a "Speak Easy" because the sale of alcohol was prohibited under the 18th amendment. |

Yeah go ahead and write and give the guys at the station a good laugh. Do you really think they care or will change? 99% of the people in this country think it is an assault rifle or assault weapon and the mere technicality of a naming CUSTOM is no big deal.
You sound like some foamer complaining about a reporter calling a diesel-electric railroad engine a diesel engine or the engineer or motorman the driver on a commuter train. You know what in the grand scheme of things It DOESN"T freaking matter. |
