Good Job Tribune
Anyone else remember when the Tribune used to be the voice of Midwest Republicans? Now you have shit like this in the paper:
Newspapers are supposedly the place to get accurate information, multiple layers of fact checking and all that. But as they've sold their souls and embraced the role as mouthpieces for the left, you get all sorts of inaccurate propaganda that passes for educated discourse among the uninformed and ignorant.

Mmmmmmm grenade launcher, me like, me want.
Just got my rifle out of the trunk and that's where my sling is attached.......hmm, maybe they didn't research that one too well. Maybe the point just in front of that? But what would I know??
These asshat editors can barely tell which end the bullet comes out. The last asshole mass shooter to afix a bayonet was Patrick Purdy as he shot up the school in Stockton California,1989. The dead tree press in shitcago along with the NY Times are the worst anti 2nd amendment liberals of all time. These idiots continue to refer to magazines as "clips". Dont believe a word they print, these people dont know shit about firearms. They just want everyone to be sitting ducks for criminals and lunatics. Namby pamby liberals become instant Republicans as soon as they become victims on the street. Watch for Madigan and her daddy to throw up every roadblock that they can think of to obstruct concealed carry in the Land of Lincoln. When you restrict the magazine capacity of defensive weapons, it makes it that much easier for multiple home invaders to overwelm the defender. Enough said.
Layers of fact-checking? There's not enough staff to do so properly. Many of the experienced editors and reporters have been bought out. What's left are young journalists who have no one to guide them. And much of the crap that's published online today would never make it to the final print version of a respectable paper a mere 10 years ago. The internet is a great tool but it also quite often waters down the quality of the information that's out there (see wikipedia). It's less about the paper having an agenda and more about the fact that there are just stupid, underpaid and inexperienced people employed there.
Funny,that's where I use a belt like thingy to hang my doohickey from.
Is the blue part in the picture a sling swivel?
the bayonet mount is the metal part below the front sight not the damn rifle sling slot
Can anyone tell those dumb fuck liberal retards that they circled the sling mount and not the bayonet lug?
And even if they got that right, are they high? How many drive by bayonet attacks have been recorded?
These people are beyond stupid, and they want to tell you how you should live.
The Libune was notified immediately when they published that on the 17th. When they didn't publish a correction on the 18th I followed up. Here is their (lame) response:
~~~~~~~~
Lou,
I hope this note finds you well. Thank you for taking the time to write. We indeed misidentified the bayonet mount in the assault weapon graphic from last Friday. We checked our work with a handful of gun experts, but as it happens sometimes, in the hurry to meet deadline we missed this important detail. I certainly thank you for bringing it to our attention and we will run a correction in the paper in the next few days.
Sometimes it takes a few days for these emails to get routed to the right people. I'm the right guy to talk to and I'll make sure we get it corrected and straightened out. We work very hard to be fair and correct, but we do miss stuff here and there and when we do it's important to us to run a correction.
Feel free to send any other questions or thoughts my direction. Again, thanks for the note. I wish we didn't make the error, but we did and now I'll do my best to make it right.
Thanks,
Jonathon

...and the stupid assholes are wrong about the flash hider too. It's just there so that the SHOOTER isn't as dazzled by the muzzle flash -- and it doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for you.
But, then, you would have had to fire such a rifle to know much at all about it...
Everybody's an expert on everything from behind their computer.

So where's the story on what really happened at Sandy Hook School? Is someone going to do this before the whole place is gutted and remodeled, or do we just run with some vague impressions from the first five minutes of coverage?
Last pic I saw had 2 18-yard dumpsters and a bunch of civilian work trucks parked outside.
I thought all that was "evidence" in an "ongoing investigation" that would take "months?"
The media in this city has all turned to the obama socialist ideas, enforced by rham and the gang of 50. This city used to have balls , but now is run by tutu wearing mayor and former criminal enterprises.
What good is a bayonet? and who can get a grenade launcher? What complete assholes write this shit in a news paper? I never see anyone reading these rags anyway.
Isn't that where you attach the sling on the rifle?
That's who these papers and reporters are all about ,writing for thr ignorant and uniformed anyway.
Idiots. They should point at the muzzle and say its the liberal buttstock.

Mount for Bayonet, Grenade Launcher? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
OK playah... Go right ahead and try to hang an M-203 from the "representative" point of attachment as illustrated and see what happens.
>SMH & an Eye-Roll<
Dear God are these people blindly ignorant and delusional or what?
Can we find out who actually crafted this fine piece of journalism?
We just want to see them pop the cap on a grenade launcher attached to the illustrated point.
Please?
What a damn shame too. The Tribune used to be my go to news source back in the day. Now I can barely bring myself to click on their free Internet link.
Those bayonets are a huge problem. Well just last week I got charged by 6 WW2 Jap soldiers alone. Who knows how many of us will get charged this week?
Damn bayonets are going to get us all.
Wow....wow wow wow.....wow
That is all
this will prevent the next mass bayoneting.

Hey Dickhead........ that ain t no stackin swivel............. go back and read the manual on the M1
For YEARS the CHICAGO TRIBUNE has been nothing more than another rag for the DEMOCRATS.. Strangely enough they haven't figured out that is why unless people need papers for their dog to pee on the trib can't get subscribers even at $1 a week.. EVEN Seniors won't buy it or the Suntimes.. When one reads something in the newspapers in Chicago and looks around them at what is REALLY going on they SEE they are being lied to..
it's coming, will you honor your oath?
Retards,they obviously never served in the military or bothered to read a TM.
Its not a bayonet lug,its an accessory mount.
That's the sling connector. Fucking libtard idiots.
is that the shoulder thing that goes up?

Keep calling and writing guys/gals, screw them they have no issues with pointing out officers shortcomings.....
Uh, where do I buy this grenade launcher? I didn't see any at the gun show.
liberals..afraid of guns. yet, they give their iphones to a bum/kid to make a call.they call police to say'' guy asked to use my phone and ran off''. i cant believe it happened.
As an aside, the Tribune is the paper that fought to publish Jack Ryans' private divorce records as he ran against obama for senate in Illinois.... thank them if you like our preezy. I would never willingly give that organization another dime of my (worked for) money...
More military looking Bushmaster which is vilified and the more traditional looking Ruger mini ranch rifle which is accepted both shoot the .223 as fast as you can pull the trigger. They have no idea what they are talking about. For myself I prefer the traditional wood stock.
I feel like such an idiot. I can't believe I've had my sling attached to the grenade launcher all these years.
well today the papers sells "drama"
not facts.
drama sells papers, plus that fact it helps to control what is said and how it is said to influence public thinking.
following the old bar joke
Never Let The Truth Get In The Way Of A Good Story
the story here is O-Blame-ya and the evil spawn of a midget mayor are anti-2nd amendment and the Slum_Times, Trashbune, bend over for them and push the Party Line
Warped thinking of the anti gun democrats. Ruger mini 14 ranch rifle. Semi automatic. .223 Traditional short length stock. 10 round magazine. Sling mounts. 800 dollars just about anywhere. As if one is less deadly than the other.
The Media wants the Public to think that you can buy a Machine Gun like the Rambo movies.
Grenade launcher, bayonet mount, who cares? If banning sling swivels can save just one life, isn't it worth it?
Idiots. They know nothing about firearms but would happily ban any part or whole thinking they are doing society a service. You gotta wonder about people that fear guns more than predatory criminals.
Lol! These articles and their writers are better than the funnies!
I'm calling for bans right now on spears, bayonets and other scary looking pointy things. Who will march by my side?
I love it when things like this happen. These people trying to explain a firearm is like a tribesman in the Congo trying to explain the dangers of Nascar. Yes a grenade launcher can be attached to many AR type rifles, but good luck going down to the grenade store to get some LVHE 40mm...You might be better off throwing fireworks at someone. And a bayonet can also be attached to some rifles, and I can scotch tape a kitchen knife to a broom handle and have a similar effect. After all, how many people here are killed with bayonet fettered grenade launchers? I'm not going to detail the ignorance of that illustration, if it were some gun blog you might expect such a mistake, but a major newspaper? Fact finding is a little bias, isnt it, Tribune.
Tribune, you are a source written for sheep, by sheep. You grew up in your Lincoln Park home sheltered and scared of anything that goes boom because your teachers at Lane Tech told you so. NOW, you fear guns and your fear is even greater if the gun "looks scary", like a clown with sharp teeth. And you will scramble to publish any tripe to get any sheep in the public to agree with your irrational fear. Why would you not publish an article outlining good firearms safety? Do you not think that would be more responsible than trying to scare the sheep?
The sling is the part that attaches to grenade thrower!
That's not for the grenade launcher! That's the bottle opener! Sheese!

This is absolutely true and it is only going to get worse, especially if the Sun Times buys "the Tribune assets," namely the Chicago Tribune newspaper.
When grenade launchers are outlawed, only outlaws....
Sorry...morons! That is the sling mount. The bayonet lug isn't even on that model. It's removed completely!!! The media is so happy to put out a story on this, and can't even get the story right. Not much accuracy there!!!
if it's in the trib
IT'S WRONG
they rarely are, if ever, accurate
almost never verify a story
and if time is tight
just make it all up for the delivery trucks
when I was in rvn I always attached my bayonet, and my pocket rpg launcher, to my front sling swivel retainer...
we all did
We saw it in the trib while in basic
we also found out we could use "clips" AND magazines in our assault weapons interchangably !!!
thay are the same.
that was in the trib too!
thanks trib, you are a fountain of BS !

From memory --
Bayonet lug.
...and that lug is merely a vestigial leftover of military purchasing requirements. The colonels insist that "an Army gun" has to have a place to mount a bayonet -- even though the last U.S. service rifle strong and heavy enough to actually be used for hand-to-hand fighting with a bayonet was the famous M1 Garand of WWII.
...and the weapon you portray, the one available to civilians, is not an "assault rifle" or "assault weapon."
The first true "assault rifle" was the German StG44 -- "Sturmgewehr 1944" -- a selective-fire, full-automatic or semi-automatic rifle. "Sturm" = "storm, assault," as in "storm the enemy's position." "Gewehr" = "rifle." New concept, had to call it something. The first recipients were paratroopers, combat engineers, and other specialized troops. It fired a shorter and less powerful cartridge than the old bolt-action rifles, was shorter, lighter, and easier to handle on an increasingly mechanized battlefield with changing tactics, and was designed for less expensive manufacture in a war economy of bombed-out factories and shortages of skilled labor and critical materials. An evolutionary weapon in a number of ways.
The military-style rifle you depict has no full-automatic capability. Such weapons have been very heavily regulated by Federal law since the National Firearms Act of 1934, and in any case are prohibited for civilian ownership in Illinois, period.
If you wish to understand societal problems, study society and those who form it, mold it, shape it, steer it along -- and profit from these activities.
Everything else is just incidental junk laying around.
"Bayonet lug." S__t.
Nothing but smoke, mirrors, lies and deceit. Plus a whole bucket of stupid.

To put it mildly, it would seem that advocates of the First Amendment certainly give short shrift to the defenders of the Second, which guards all the others.

Readers saw an error -- and more -- in this Chicago Tribune assault weapon graphic. (January 22, 2013)
By Joe Knowles
6:05 p.m. CST, January 22, 2013
Guns are a sensitive topic, especially now, and a graphic we ran on Page 18 of the Friday, Jan. 18, paper failed to account properly for that sensitivity.
That’s the thing about errors – making an obvious one, as we did here, automatically raises questions about our credibility.
First, we made a blatant and inexcusable labeling error. In an attempt to explain what makes a gun an “assault weapon,” we mistakenly labeled the gun’s sling attachment as a mount for a bayonet or grenade launcher. We apologize for the error and have published a correction.
Readers found other issues with the graphic as well. Some questioned our use of the term “spear” to describe a bayonet’s function. While the dictionary defines a spear as a weapon for throwing or thrusting, it would have been more accurate to call a bayonet a detachable knife that can be used in various ways, including close-quarters combat. When attached to the gun, it becomes a spear-like weapon for thrusting. We did not mean to imply that the gun would be thrown or used as a projectile.
In our description of the flash suppressor placed at the end of the gun’s muzzle, we said the device breaks up the explosion that results from firing the gun. We also said that “some find the suppressor controversial as it could also make the flash from a shot less visible, allowing a shooter to conceal his position.” One very knowledgeable and articulate reader took issue with that statement, as concealment is not the suppressor’s primary function — it’s a safety device to prevent fires. We never said it was the suppressor’s primary function, only that it conceivably could make a shooter more difficult to locate, which is why it’s controversial.
Other readers questioned whether any attempt to define an assault weapon should even include semi-automatic guns, which fire one bullet at a time. (Fully automatic weapons, which fire continuously for as long as the trigger is pulled, are already banned and have been for decades.) The point of the graphic was that certain characteristics can get a semi-automatic gun classified as an “assault” weapon, depending on the jurisdiction. The federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004, but some states still have versions of the law in place, and an accompanying chart showed how the federal law differs from laws in California and New York regarding features such as flash suppressors and bayonet mounts.
Readers count on us to get everything right, every time. When we don’t, we deserve to get called out. That’s fair.
Here’s what isn’t fair, though: Some readers seized this opportunity to accuse us of using this graphic to promote what they termed a specific liberal agenda on the topic of gun control. They saw our labeling mistake as a deliberate misrepresentation, one that made these weapons seem more dangerous. Let me say emphatically that this was a careless mistake, not an intentional deception nor bias. It is regrettable because we got a basic fact wrong, period.
We always welcome feedback from our loyal and careful readers. Thanks to everyone who contacted us and offered firsthand knowledge and expertise on this top-of-mind subject.

"Guns are a sensitive topic -- a graphic we ran on Page 18 of the Friday, Jan. 18, paper failed to account properly for that sensitivity."
This has nothing to do with "sensitivity."
Technical matters are not emotional vagaries.
Either nomenclature and information is right or it is wrong.

I'll bet less than one percent of these so called reporters served this country in the military. A vet would have caught that and fixed it. But the anti-American left wing communists that want to control the media for propaganda doesn't believe in military service.
Fuck all of you scum bags at these yellow journalism rags.
God, and I thought the Scum Times was bad. You idiots at the Fibune suck too.
Now go pander some more for ObaMAO and his commie gun grabbers.
Can you just picture all of the non-men males sitting around when that was designed? It must have been hilarious.
"That thingy over there makes it like a spear and it's mean even when it runs out of bullets in the clip and you can spear somebody with it. And then you can launch a grenade too. OOOOOHHH! That's bad!"
Then they sat around and talked about how it was too bad they didn't get to publish all the FOID addresses like they do in new york.
Socialist propagandist scum.
I stopped buying the Trib nearly 11 years ago and haven't read it since. I never read the suntimes and wont. Sad, because my siblings and I delivered the Trib when we were very young and my entire family subscribed to it. Now not one of us reads it. It's all distortions of the truth and bias slanted stories. No fair reporting.

You're right. But they think it takes a socialist village to raise a child and that every child should get a trophy so none of them feel bad.
When you grow up that way, facts don't seem so important. It's feelings that are important. The communists have succeeded in softening up Americans so they will lie down instead of fight.

Hey SCC,
Since I'm overseas enjoying a nice, government funded mountain resort vacation, I thought to myself "Self, you could really use a grenade launcher mounted bayonet to to spear the infidels with"
Well, I took my assault rifle over to my unit armorer, along with the Trib's picture, and asked him to mount me one of those right there on the lug.
He laughed at me and told me to get the f**k out of his hooch! Don't they teach these armorers anything at thier MOS school these days?!?
I read your blog every day over here. I'm always interested in knowing what's going on in the Peoples Republic of Chicago!
Cease fire! Cease fire! Unload,clear ,and lock.Remove the magazine,insert the flag safety and put the weapon on safe! OORAH!!!
As an aside, the Tribune is the paper that fought to publish Jack Ryans' private divorce records as he ran against obama for senate in Illinois.... thank them if you like our preezy. I would never willingly give that organization another dime of my (worked for) money...

And who used to work at the Trib and gave them the inside scoop and told them to search for it? Axelrod.

Hey SCC,
Since I'm overseas enjoying a nice, government funded mountain resort vacation, I thought to myself "Self, you could really use a grenade launcher mounted bayonet to to spear the infidels with"
Well, I took my assault rifle over to my unit armorer, along with the Trib's picture, and asked him to mount me one of those right there on the lug.
He laughed at me and told me to get the f**k out of his hooch! Don't they teach these armorers anything at thier MOS school these days?!?

CPD here. I read SCC all the time in Iraq. Tell your friends about it so they can get the truth instead of the communist propaganda that the media puts out. Stay safe, brother.
