GOOGLE! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!

UPDATE

The Armed Canadian points out that unless we are to believe that professional reporters are unfamiliar with GOOGLE, they have willfully mislead their readers for the sake of frightening them.

As I've said before, it's inexcusable for a PROFESSIONAL reporter and researcher to present blatant lies, and claim ignorance. This is journalistic malpractice.

Can you tell the difference between these two rifles?
You may be smarter than an MSNBC reporter!


UPDATE;
The Armed Canadian has a correction post up wherein he analyzes a picture of the shooter and concludes it to be an AK variant. The point stands; the article he linked stated the rifle was an SKS, yet provided a picture of the eeeeeevil terrorist AK-47.

The rifle in the picture does indeed look like an AK type, and I should note that there are kits and accessories to make your SKS look VERY AK-like. It is understandable to mistake the two when encountering a hail of gunfire, but there is no excuse when your article states plainly the rifle is an SKS.

Is it my imagination or is the AK picture a mirror image?

I can't remember ever seeing a selector switch and bolt handle on the left-hand side before...

It is a mirror image. It's also a milled receiver, so there's that.
