Guy gets busted for PMAG and the media is saying its a rifle. [facepalm]

"According to the warrants, on January 22, police received reports Zhao purchased a PMAG rifle with a 30-round magazine. The ammunition is illegal under Zhao’s VISA status."

It's Virginia, where every handgun is a Glock, every rifle is an assault weapon, every round of ammunition is armor piercing and every magazine over 5 rounds is "high capacity".

Someone was drunk at the press briefing. The report is not even written in complete sentences.

I am of the opinion that this is precisely what now passes as acceptable "journalism". It has become the norm.

I got curious about an article writing bot. The article is attributed to Web Staff. Checked out other articles and some of them are just as bad. Looks like they directly copied a tweet from police, including an obvious grammatical error.

If this is a real person/s, they must be totally checked out from writing lame news breifs.

Is it double-barreled ammunitions?

I hear that is what snipers use. Twice as deadly.

Blacksburg is a pretty rural area. Other than this being VA Tech and the notorious shooting there a decade ago, the surrounding community is pretty gun friendly. I think the illegality here was primarily based on his Visa status and whatever laws he broke in buying a rifle. That he is driving a Crown Vic makes me wonder if he isn't a buff into emulating LE. I'm also interested in the college having a gun locker for students.
