<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nIt may even turn out that the picture was ginned up to show how stupid the media is (I can’t find a source and I’ve tracked it back through several sources), but it does look like something that would come out of the media. So the indicated attachment is a sling swivel, you know, so you can put a strap through it and carry it on your shoulder. It’s just that dangerous.<\/p>\n
The bayonet lug is the protuberance in front of the sling swivel. If I ever caught one of my troops using their rifle like a spear, I’d have them pushing Fort Bragg to Georgia. Actually, it’s used more like a pike – something you hold on to rather than throw at the enemy. Never mind the fact that you can’t attach a grenade launcher to the sling swivel, you can’t attach one to the bayonet lug either.<\/p>\n
EDITOR NOTE: <\/strong>I wrote this earlier today, but I suspected that it was fabricated by the pro-gun side. I held off publishing it until I could verify it’s origins. Turns out that that the picture came from the Chicago Tribune<\/a> and they’ve since corrected the article that they intended as information for the masses. But, then journalists think they know everything about everything, so there’s really no need for a correction after it’s been published. We all learned something, didn’t we. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
