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.

Just watched it as well. I especially liked when they brought up Call of Duty... as if that had some sort of relevance to the issue in question. That video has to be among the most idiotic, pointless videos I've ever seen. All it was trying to do was REALLY insinuate that the AR-15 is some sort of human killing death machine.

So their messaging is right in line with that of the LPC? Shocking.
