Then I ask you to read the two sentences that has Osborn so upset. Other than the mistake regarding "high powered" vs"high velocity", which seems pretty trivial to me, please explain how the rest of the two sentences is either innaccurate or represents a "biased news report".

I say:
Simple.
First, they report that it is the "same type" of weapon used by the recent snipers who terrorized many citizens. (ooooo bad gun!!!! shame on you gun!!!!!)
Then, they call it a sniper rifle, which it is not. (The AR-15, M-16, M-4 and all of the similar variants can be used for sniping SHORT RANGE, which is why they are preferred by some suburban law enforcement, even though
almost all use a variation of .308 NATO Remington 700 style rifles for sniping and interdiction team coverage. The .223 is a versatile round, but a sniper round it is not, unless you are sniping muskrat or other small critters.)
Then, they call it a "high-powered" rifle of all things, which it is not. (since my .22 Rimfire is High Velocity does that make it a high powered rifle too??) LOL
But hey, no bias there......
I must be a fetishist huh?
