1. See. Prayers worked

Even tho no one knew about this kid specifically

Just all the prayers in general led to his arrest

Right?

2. A violation of that poor young man's rights

Doesn't the GOP want to eliminate weapons free zones? Can the NRA please get right on this and protect this young man's rights. All he did was carry around a rifle.

3. AK-47 Style Pistol?

I'm no gun expert, but even I know the AK-47 is a rifle.
How can a pistol be a style of a rifle?

5. They do make both AK and AR style pistols.

Don't know why, but they do. It is a real thing.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Ok

Seems odd, even though I believe what you say.

[Caliman73]

10. Yeah, odd.

I would post a picture but I don't want to be accused of gun porn. Plus I think people who post pictures of firearms are weird.

11. I Looked This Up

After your first reply.
That doesn't look like a pistol to me. Things are 16-19" long.
It looks like a machine gun with the stock removed.
In fact, I saw one pic of the same weapon with a wireframe stock attached.
I'd say if all takes is to snap on a stock to an 18" weapon, it's a rifle.
But, what do I know?

4. Why am I skeptical of this story..just doesn't add up for me..just me..

I'm going to wait for further corroboration...all I have seen is this police release..doesn't even look official..story just doesn't add up..a business, a juvenile walking with a rifle..a car with firearms..none in the school..I'll wait.. ,

8. This appears to track.

6. Were they real guns, or toys?

Orbeez guns are toys that fire water beads, sort of like Airsoft and paintball guns.

It says the AR was an Orbeez; was the AK too?

7. May be replicas that shoot a type of plastic pellet called an orbeez.

I had never heard of them but the original announcement said it was an "replica AR-15 style orbeez rifle".

Apparently the orbeez are a water or gel filled pellet.
