yeah star trib, the local paper, says its an SKS assault rifle. these other papers just dropped the SKS because if you look up an SKS you'll see it's not an assault rifle. if it was an AK or something, sure, that's an assault rifle. but this is a small old carbine. it's not a dig on you, it's a dig on these so-called news organizations
http://www.startribune.com/local/257505 ... page=2&c=yno where have i heard what these supposed automatic weapons are either. i'm pretty sure he had some hunting rifles (semi automatic OH NOES) and some hand guns (AUTOMATIC OH NOES)
the kid had bombs and shit, he's a bad kid, and it's great his plot was foiled. but lets not pretend he had nuclear weapons when he had pressure cooker bombs
