busarider 23 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 This is the first time I have ever seen the mention of a Saiga of any kind in a crime in the US throught the media. I noticed the media was very determined to describe the gun used in the crime as I do not see that with most of their stories just say a large caliber gun or just plain shotgun.

schultze13 354 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have never seen the media describe the gun so much. Usually its AK type, AR type of weapon or the classic "assault weapon" to describe anything from a BB gun to a MAC 10. There is clearly a agenda here, huh I wonder what it could be???? I know its a little early for the tinfoil hat but I think I am going to put a extra layer on just to be safe.LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wow, very professionally written article. "The gun, police said, was not loaded, officers said." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beerasaurus 9 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yup. Pretty much any other story and it would've just been "shotgun" or even "a gun." Reminds me of when the NY Times described the Glock pistol used in the AZ sentator shooting as a "semi-automatic assault weapon." Makes me sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RJWesleyIII 7 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sounds like a setup! Some anti saiga/gun fan! Weird how they said what brand of shotgun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salmonking 149 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 lol, so 1 point for the saiga against 1000 points to various other shotguns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
setlab 11 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There was a saiga 12 in the news last year, but if I remember right the dumbass dropped the mag from the gun and he could only shoot it once or twice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike1234567 26 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well, at least they described the Kalashnikov as "famous" and not "infamous", LOL!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingjamez 8 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) At least they didn't kill anyone and the gun was unloaded. Got to give the perps credit though, if they were trying to scare someone they picked a hell of a gun. Edited February 22, 2011 by kingjamez Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well clearly if it has been an old single barrel or a double 12 gauge the kid on the bike would not have been nearly as endangered... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caal 9 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 wow Im surprised how accurate this guy was.The police must have identified it and gave the description or it would have been fully automatic, subatomic, sawed off, shoulder thingy that goes up shotgun.

busarider 23 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I don't know how the gun laws are in NY but here in NC it's the same charge loaded/unloaded. It is a felony just to point a gun at someone in any situation other than self defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I don't know how the gun laws are in NY but here in NC it's the same charge loaded/unloaded. It is a felony just to point a gun at someone in any situation other than self defense. In NY that would be called "Menacing." Excerpt fron NY Penal Code: § 120.14 Menacing in the second degree. A person is guilty of menacing in the second degree when: 1. He or she intentionally places or attempts to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death by displaying a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument or what appears to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, machine gun or other firearm; or 2. He or she repeatedly follows a person or engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts over a period of time intentionally placing or attempting to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death; or 3. He or she commits the crime of menacing in the third degree in violation of that part of a duly served order of protection, or such order which the defendant has actual knowledge of because he or she was present in court when such order was issued, pursuant to article eight of the family court act, section 530.12 of the criminal procedure law, or an order of protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in another state, territorial or tribal jurisdiction, which directed the respondent or defendant to stay away from the person or persons on whose behalf the order was issued. Menacing in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor. ETA: Is my avatar menacing??????????? Edited February 23, 2011 by Yeoldetool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
