As we’ve seen, many “journalists” have been on a mission to attempt to demonstrate how easy it is for somebody with no criminal record to purchase a legal product — guns in these cases.
Not to be outdone, a National Post reporter has actually pulled the trigger:

The reporter fired an AR-15, which she claimed had a role in the Orlando attack, which it didn’t:

Also:
Your claim, @AshleyCsanady, that AR-15s are "standard military issue" is 100% factually false.
Army and Marines use M4s.@nationalpost

“Real journalists” care a lot about getting all the facts right, unless they don’t.
And besides…
.@AshleyCsanady So you're complaining that firing ranges give Americans a place to safely train with firearms?
