I'm unsure of how credible this is; I'll do some more research. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of making it stick.

So, it appears to be a very reliable source.

Looks like a fake website. The ABC circle is really an oval. If you head over to http://abcnews.go.com/, you can see the difference in the sites.

Phew. Also, the other articles listed sound like BS as well.

Apparently, this hoax has been spreading like wildfire and has quite a few people in an uproar thinking it's real.

Thanks for sharing it anyways. I wasn't aware it was going around.

It is good food for thought and conversation.

Is this an attempt to start a violent uprising so they can declare martial law?[shithitsfan]

^^ Reminds me of an idiotic Facebook post I saw recently about someone saying they saw a homeless guy "spiritually molested" because somebody offered him a meal and asked if they could pray with him.

But ... what if it's a real idea being floated in this spoof site so they can point back to something to make fun of gun rights supporters when they implement it incrementally?

I wonder how much they pay to write articles? Should be about the same as what a real journalist makes.

How long before the real ABC's lawyers are crawling all over this guys tail? He is going to claim fair usage due to satire, but I would be willing to bet the ads on his site and the deliberate attempt to deceive are going to blow his case. Fairly new site, only a handful of articles in each section.
