Remember that time that USA Today created the graphics of possible add-on features of the AR-15 platform rifle, and the internet exploding with laughter over things like 'chainsaw bayonets'? Well, CNN outdid them after the Las Vegas shooting with their graphic about how bump stocks work. Watch:
That time CNN made an animation of a bump stock.

Yeah. We see it, too LOL
Thank you once again, CNN, for being a source of pure comedy gold for our readers here at Twitchy!

Managed to get both USA Today and CNN with that last one! Excellent work!

What makes all this even funnier (if it's possible) is that the animation doesn't even actually depict a bump stock. It looks to be a simple adjustable stock, meaning it can be extended or shortened, depending on the user. Possibly a reciprocating stock or a recoil management device. But hey, CNN has never let pesky little things like facts get in their way before!
A 20 second youtube search would have cleared up the missconception.

So, it seems CNN was deliberately being deceptive.... https://t.co/njUdd58AFs

Looks like it could use a little oil, honestly. Remember, lubrication is vital.
More like "hump stock"...😏 https://t.co/StUrzR7hI9

That is awfully lewd, isn't it? https://t.co/ddleHxMBXR

Well, depends on what you consider 'awful'. Just remember, though: before you head to the range with your 'bump stock', make sure you have consent from the weapon. Or you give your consent. We're not entirely sure how this relationship works.

You guys really should click the tweet and play the video with the sound on, once you're finished reading here, of course! We promise, it is so worth it.

Apparently CNN heard the term 'fear porn' and RAN WITH IT.
