There actually are shotguns that resemble AR's. But this ain't one of them.

Why don't news stations find someone who actually knows a tiny bit about the subject they are reporting on? Do they send someone who has never had a dog to cover a dog show? Or hire a sports reporter who has never played, or even watched, sports?

Or can they really just not find anyone at the station that knows anything about guns? They must have someone around that owns a gun, even if it's the security folks. Can't they just say to them, "hey I know this isn't your job, but can you please take a quick look at this and let us know if you see anything glaringly wrong so we don't look like a bunch of idiots?" Anyone who has ever seen a shotgun, or an AR, could have immediately spotted the problem here.

What an idiot reporter. If you’re going to report gun news, you should be able to recognize a Glock when you see one!
