'lol...every scary looking gun is an AR-15' - The MSM

Back in the late 80s my entire chain of command (company commander down) was relieved for this exact scenario. Regular army not national guard.

They carry rounds on them just not loaded.

What’s an “assault rifle?”

My understanding is they usually have loaded magazines on them, but often don’t have them loaded into their weapon unless specific mission orders come down to do so.
There was tape on the magazine in the picture, I suspect that tells them which magazines are loaded and which ones are empty (for deterrence only).
It was a big story at J6 that most guards available that day didn’t have live ammo so had the protestors come armed and intent on causing harm the real story I’ve heard is that the capital and surrounding buildings would’ve fallen until reinforcements could’ve been brought in from elsewhere (likely marines via helicopter) so now DC guards have ammo issued and different operating orders.

That’s what the AR in AR15 stands for.

They must’ve been high or drunk, how in the frick can a national guard “person” just leave your gun somewhere?

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.

Darth, you're old enough to realize there are only Glocks, AKs and ARs according to our ignorant arse media

The bigger story is that there has to be national guardsmen in the fricking French Quarter.
