Media bias and sensationalism. Mycentraljersey.com reports of a bank robbery, no mention of an AK-47. Then along comes nj.com who plasters "Men with AK-47 assault rifle rob Wells Fargo Bank in Middlesex" in their headline. A police spokesperson would not confirm the report that an AK-47 was used. Obviously the bank has video of the robbery and if one was used it will be on there but why put this unconfirmed nonsense out there? To push their leftist agenda!

Radio was also reporting AK-47 based on "eyewitness reports".

According to an FBI spokesperson, two males entered the bank, armed with guns, and demanded cash. No further description of the suspects was given.

 

 

"No further description" is a description by itself, no?

 

(Some good comments following the story, BTW! http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2013/04/report_men_with_ak-47_assault.html)

I linked this in the comments:

i'm sure those robbers waited the 6+ months for their purchase permits, background checks, submitted fingerprints, and mugshots for the carry permit so they could carry that gun. see how simple it is? now the police can go right to their home and wait for them to return. case solved.

Even so, aren't all AKs illegal in NJ?

I'm surprised they didn't say it was an AR-15, since that's the dreaded "killing machine" that the media is currently demonizing.

And we all know how reliable those are
