Yeah, about the meme…
As the nation begins to wrap its head around what happened in Dallas, Texas last night during a protest against police shootings, certain factions are already shifting blame from the suspect in the case to the firearms used. (Snip)
However, the rifle used by the suspect in the Dallas murders wasn’t an AR-15 variant rifle as many people originally thought. No, in fact the gun used was a 70+ year old relic that would not meet the definition of an “assault weapon†under most state laws. CBS News is reporting that the firearm used was an SKS rifle.
Unlike the Sig Sauer MCX rifle used in the Orlando terror attacks, which had similar features, controls and magazine to AR-15 style rifles, the SKS rifle used in Dallas couldn’t be more different.
Oops. Meme implodes
The media is trying to say terrorist used an "assault rifle" in #Dallas.
They are lying.https://t.co/izO8AM0lM3 pic.twitter.com/qCsm2Qhvfu
