Tired guns

From Best of the Web at Opinion Journal.com

Mediaite.com notes that New York's Daily News--in keeping with its tradition of hysteria and misinformation--splashed the AR-15 across its front page yesterday with the screamingly inaccurate headline "SAME GUN DIFFERENT SLAY." The paper touted a column by the bumptious sometime sportswriter Mike Lupica titled "AR-15 Is the Rifle for the 'Sport' of Hunting Humans." Atop that column now is the following correction:

The FBI's assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office said Tuesday that gunman Aaron Alexis acted alone in the Navy Yard shooting that killed 12 people and added "we do not have any information" that an AR-15 was used. Mike Lupica's column was written Monday when The Daily News and The Associated Press among many others reported, using reputable law enforcement sources, that the shooter Alexis had used three weapons including an AR-15.

Other than that, the story was accurate.

Wow, the Drive-By Media gets is wrong again.
