CNN appeared to mistake toy guns for AK-47s Thursday in a report on a hearing for a Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of posting classified documents online.
The FBI arrested Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Air National Guard in Massachusetts, on charges relating to the posting of classified documents on various social media sites April 13. The documents covered various topics, including perceived weaknesses in Ukrainian defenses and plans to rebuild that country’s military.
WATCH:
“The filing also includes pictures from the search warrant executed on Teixeira’s bedroom,” the CNN report said. “The photos show a gun locker next to his bed, containing multiple weapons, including an AK-style weapon, handguns, shotguns, and a gas mask.”
Massachusetts has a ban on certain semi-automatic firearms labeled as “assault weapons” in force, which covers AK-style semi-automatic rifles.

One photo CNN aired showed three long guns, two of which clearly had the orange tips often found on imitation firearms, while a third, which was clearly not an AK-47-style firearm, appeared to have orange discoloration at the end of the barrel. Such a marking is required by federal law, according to HobbyStrategy.com.
Imitation guns fire 6mm pellets using compressed air, gearboxes or springs, and are often used in competitions and for training. One retailer, Evike.com, offers toy guns that bear a resemblance to a variety of military small arms, including the M249 and RPD machine guns, the M4 carbine, the M1A1 Thompson submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch G3 and the AK-74.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
