Today, I saw this post on Facebook. I do not care to comment on my opinion on the issue, but something just didn't seem right about this picture. If the information in this picture were true, then why aren't more media outlets talking about this? Turns out this post had over 10k comments and 6,600 shares. This means that probably over 100,000 people have seen this image. Well, when I did my own research, I found that this photo was far from accurate:

Aurora: M&P15, Rem 870, Glock 22
Orlando: Sig Sauer MCX
Las Vegas: AR-15+ many many more
Sandy Hook: Bushmaster XM15 and Glock 20SF
Texas Church: AR-556
San Bernardino: S&W MMP 15, DPMS MMP, llama 9mm, S&W 9mm
Parkland: AR-15

Only 2 of the shootings hat AR-15s used. With that said, the OP might have been trying to promote their agenda or instill fear in its readers. I can't be 100% sure either way. With this all said, let this be a warning to all to research your information, especially if you are going to share it. Don't be a spreader of false information.
