Those "bullets" look like they could have come from an ASSAULT RIFLE! :shock:

That this made the news shows you JUST how clueless and ignorant the media really is. (I wonder if it's true that journalism majors are largely drawn from the ranks of students with double-digit SAT scores?)

If those "Hit" her house, they were hand thrown.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't want a gun that shoots brass, bullets and everything. For us reloaders that is a waste of good brass.

Heck, if there's bullets hitting my house, those are the kinds I'd want to be doing it! :lol:

Sure are shiny! I wonder if she's a reloader in addition to being a liar?

It would be impossible for us to make that any more of a joke than it already is. :???:

We're laughing about this, but what's sad is that most people will believe it.

I sent this to a relative and asked if he noticed anything suspicious. I'll see if he catches it. He hunts & shoots, but doesn't reload.

you know, i sent it out to several people too asking if they noticed anything "unusual" about the story and the photo. Most folks caught it immediately, but two folks apparently didn't.

kinda scares me.
