Apparently an Uzbeck National was in posession of a "M15 machine gun".....

What, one of these
M15s? They're just rare, not new.

Or it could been an Armalite M-15, though they are more of an "assault rifle" than a "machine gun", they were only available in semi-auto.

FOX News is not pro 2A. FOX News is pro FOX News and ratings.
If you don't believe that, listen to Sheppard Smith emphsize
GUUUN when he relates a gun related news tidbit in his segment. Bill O'Reilly is all about Bill O'Reilly and so on and so forth.
FOX News was the last bastion of truth (?) and I've given up on them too. What happens...happens. Me worryin' and/or gettin' my knickers in a knot ain't gonna' change nothin'.
{SIGH} The end is near, so

I can't stomach Faux News...I read all my news and make my own decisions. Not what some talking head tells me I need to think.
/sorry for the hijack

Sheppard Smith ended his show tonight with two stories...one about an old woman in Australia who was kicked around by a wild kangaroo...she drug herself to the house to call police, and a story about a granny who beat a guy with a baseball bat that broke into her house naked. All part of the media's plan to make people think that they don't need guns to solve their problems. Stupid!

I have always wanted an M15 and would settle for an M15A1, but I would love to know where he got it and how he kept it hidden from the neighbors.

Edited to add: I see they updated their description.
I recognized the nomenclature because back in the 60s I was a volunteer fireman with a gent who had been a half-track gunner and driver in WWII, and he always referred to it by the nomenclature to define it from the various other half-track models.
I don't know about other war exploits of his, but one of the few war stories he ever told was about his attempt to shoot down a strafing Stuka. The gun mount had manual control wheels and Brad cranked away as hard as he could and never caught up with the plane. Of course in the excitement he kept his finger down hard on the trigger during the whole thing, and succeeded in spraying the countryside with a couple of hundred rounds of .50BMG and one round of 37mm HE. To hear, and see, him tell this tale after a few beers was highly entertaining, particularly as he sat on a bar stool and swiveled away in a vain attempt to get that "Jerry SOB" once again.

For all but local news, I recommend The Jim Lehrer News Hour on PBS.
No commercials, and possibly the least-biased national and international news reporting on the air.
Sign me up for one M15. Hopefully the range will let me keep my brass

I think they are referring to a Sendra AR-15/M-16 lower. Take a look at these pics and you will see it states Sendra M15-A1 on it.
These were pre-ban and I believe there were some full-auto versions out there stamped the same, so they may be correct. I think Sendra was bought by Rock Island at some point, or they were putting together complete rifles using Rock Island uppers and Sendra lowers.

It would be ironic if politicians who support criminal invaders are killed by those criminal invaders.

Well, I had heard of the Armalite M-15 (not a machine gun), but didn't know about the Sendra or the obscure M-14, thanks for the info!
