NBC News published a piece on firearms Friday that fails even the most basic of fact checks.
Kevin Janson Neal, the California gunman who killed five people after a domestic dispute this week, used two handmade semi-automatic rifles and two handguns that were not registered in his name.
The handmade rifles were the subject of the NBC article written by Andrew Blankstein and Corky Siemaszko, who immediately demonstrated their firearm ignorance in the first paragraph by writing “multi-round magazines,” an obvious redundancy.
The writers then incorrectly claimed that there is a “legal loophole” that allows people to own illegal guns as long as they are assembled at home.
