The New York Times is being mocked after its editorial board published an op-ed criticizing “toxic gun culture” and used a photo of shotgun shells while referring to AR-15s.

NYT Opinion tweeted:

The AR-15 has become a talisman for some right-wing politicians and voters. “That’s a particularly disturbing trend at a time when violent political rhetoric and actual political violence in the United States are rising,” writes the editorial board. https://t.co/xLqthLEkSA

Frigging retards.

[No name given]

The NY slimes are such maroons, as bugs bunny would say.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Yes, they are friggin retards. That said, the article is aimed at those who know nothing about guns and ammo, and will believe an AR-15 shoots those big bullets, reinforcing their belief we need more gun control.

I do believe that there was a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away, when journalism was an honorable and respected profession.

Although, I could be wrong.

[gitmo]

They need to hire some NRA executives.

[Roccus]

You are.

.....and how about our dementia-inflicted PoS otherwise known as President Biden who said at least on a couple of occasions that his goal is to “limit the number of bullets that can be contained in one cartridge...” or some drool like that....as we used to say in the military (long ago and far away.....) these people don’t know sh*t from Shinola about firearms, ammunition, etc....

Wait. An AR-15 won’t fire shotgun shells?
No wonder mine always jams when I try to load it with 20 gauge buckshot.

[real saxophonist]

You need to use 16 gauge,That’s the problem. And they’re a pretty purple color.

Where can I get me one of these? I need a StreetSweeper.

I researched the history of “journalism” as part of a college history course. I came to the conclusion that, in general, it was always a profession for dishonest dirtbags.

[BipolarBob]

Rats! The ATF classified them as a “destructive device” and I need a Class 4 permit (whatever that is). I feel violated.

MSM and all the BLUE RAT LEFTISTS know as much about firearms(and everything else for that matter) as I know about 14th century Italian operettas…

"Wait. An AR-15 won’t fire shotgun shells?"

If they can make an AR that fires .50 Beowulf, why not shotgun calibers?

It would be cool.

Tra la la boob deays

You can get a Saiga-12 instead, which is a variant of the AK-47 design which which shoots shotgun shells, and which has a drum magazine available.
