May 6, 201610 yr Another poorly written article at nj.com that gives partial details and facts designed to stir up the antis. http://www.nj.com/passaic-county/index.ssf/2016/05/paterson_police_recover_ar-15_military_grade_bulle.html#incart_river_home Under N.J. State law AR-15's are legal to own but they're classified as "assault firearms." Huh?? That doesn't make any sense, since "assault firearms" are illegal. Police also found 54 "military grade" .223 rounds... WTF?
May 6, 201610 yr Its a dead ringer for one of the ones stolen in Edison. And you're right, pretty poorly written. Unless you have a hidden agenda that is.
May 6, 201610 yr here is link to ones stolen in Edison https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=7&f=136&t=1446291
May 6, 201610 yr That was just too far out there to ignore. I e-mailed the author of that drivel that was supposed to pass as journalism... Mr. Pinto: Your article “Cops seize AR-15, ‘military’ grade bullets in Paterson, cops say" was probably the worst piece of “Yellow Journalism” that I’ve had the displeasure of reading in a long time. Was the article intentionally slanted to inflame the sensibilities of the general population that knows no better, or were you simply too lazy to do any research on background material? Nowhere in your article is it reported that this rifle was part of a cache of firearms that was stolen in June of last year. There were 14 firearms stolen from a home where they were secured behind several locked doors and stored in gun safes. To report that would have lead people to realize why the gun was seized – it had nothing to do with the configuration which is 100% legal to own. Furthermore, it is not defined as an “assault weapon”, but I guess to include that piece of information would have degraded some of your inflammatory rhetoric. Nor would it be considered a “high power” rifle. In the actual scheme of rifle calibers, it is rather low-powered. But congratulations, rather than actually undertaking “journalism” you chose to just regurgitate the police press release and further the disinformation stream that the MSM disseminates to the public with their own brand of spin on the topic. Adios, Pizza Bob

Adios, Pizza Bob You should also post this to the comments section under the article. It should stay there for about 10 minutes or so, you know free speech and all.
