National Guard soldier leaves AR-15 in New Orleans bathroom

Kinda sad that whoever found it just didn't turn it over without this becoming a news story. Let the National Guard handle without overpublicizing it.

Thy only outfit the Guard with AR-15s and not M4s?

None.

One of two things is happening in this story:

1. The reporter is oblivious to the fact that the military uses the M4 carbine and not the AR-15 rifle, and that there are very significant differences between the two.

Or

2. The reporter is aware of the difference between the M4 and AR-15 but is calling it an AR-15 so to preserve and further the leftist narrative that says the AR-15 is a “weapon of war.” If this reported had correctly identified this as an M4 carbine, they would also have had to explain the key differences between it and an AR-15, which would expose the the leftist lie that the AR-15 is a military weapon.

Everything not a handgun is an AR-15.

I can't imagine that he got very far before realizing he didn't have it.

I may have confiscated the optic before returning it "as I found it."
