People just look at it like a BB gun, but...

Sorry, but a BB gun is right up there with a knife in a gunfight....

CNN would not know the difference anyway, it could have been a drawing of a rifle and those at CNN would be wetting their panties.

This was probably the "sniper" CNN was reporting about in 2008: Clinton says she 'misspoke' about sniper fire http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/25/campaign.wrap/
