Can anyone provide a legitimate explanation as to why CNN would put this on their news website...even though it is a blatant lie as to how the bump stock works...as well as the inclusion of a suppressor and grenade launcher?

I think it is obvious that they are anti gun and just trying to put more lies out there, but does anyone have a legitimate reason for the stupidity?
 
I went to find the video on my own amd sure enough, there it was. I can offer no explanation why CNN, already in everyone’s crosshairs (firearm reference intended), they would not run everything that they release through better filters than they seem to have. If they were to try harder to sully their reputation......
 
Why should CNN care? They already have a reputation as the propaganda wing of the "resistance" and it's making them money. Their job is entertainment and disinformation. Frankly, I'm beginning to think that the more crap they put out the more people start to see the light.

You would think it would be easy to maintain a reputation for accuracy and honesty this day and age. Apparently not. Or CNN is just stupid and dishonest.

Anyone with an internet connection can look things up. No offense intended, but that is why I went looking on my own before responding. Hell, I look up definition of words that I am familiar with, to make sure that the meaning hasn’t changed. I’ve eaten some crow here in my short stay......

It has a suppressor, a grenade launcher, and a collapsible stock, not a bump-fire stock.

Well unlike CNN, you care about honesty :)
 
It just shows the unprofessional level that CNN lives at.
They push an agenda so as long as the reporting supports that
they don't care what garbage they are pushing.

CNN is both stupid and very dishonest.

Of course it's fake, where's the flame thrower attachment?

It's a crapfest at CNN for sure but MSNBC is running a very close second.

Since they didn’t reference the grenade launcher and suppressor, I could just as easily chalk it up to the animator’s stupidity. Most people, including myself, wouldn’t know what those accessories were. I did notice that the first animation showing firing didn’t have the trigger finger there. That was certainly misleading. The second firing did show that. So I guess it was purposefully misinformation to further their own agenda.

Funny... there's nothing on the CNN web site that shows anything like that?

Explain

I don't think you will find it there. At least not since it was called out. Plus I think it was on TV.

I have no idea why they would be so idiotic as to overlook this, that or the people who work for CNN are not gun owners themselves.

That along with the fact they ran the video of Nancy Pelosi saying automatic ammo should be illegal as well... yeah, that makes sense.

Of course I can. Their goal is not the truth or accuracy. Their goal is the maximum number of eyes on their work. The more outlandish the claims, the more eyes. It is all about ratings and advertising revenue. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

That's beyond stupid. I've never seen a bump stock personally, but I've watched a few videos. "youtube bump stocks" would have set them straight, but I guess they couldn't be bothered. Sad when you are a news org that gives worse info than the first link in a youtube search.
 
Cuz...like ost anti-gun leftists, they dont know what the **** they are on about.

 
Senator Kevin De Leon

To disperse 30 bullets in half a second! And this idiot is writing laws................... OMG!
 
I think the far more reasonable explanation is this concept was handed to some art guys and they grabbed the first 3D module that seemed to fit what they wanted.
 
You guys are allowed grenade launchers??? What state should I be booking my last minute vacation flight to?? :lol:

These guys just probably pulled a graphic off of Call of Duty and threw it in the mix.
