CBC just aired this on national TV. They did interview Rod Giltaca for once, but they actually said AR's "can include a feature to prevent jams" referring to the charging handle or the forward assist... holy fuck I just lost brain cells.

Edit: This also wasn't just an aside, it was them trying to demonize the AR. Basically insinuating that it's only there so you can clear jams to keep shooting people.

I would pay money to watch them try and clear a jam with the forward assist.
