Topic: Synthetic Stock

Nate Kornacki and Alex Jones discuss a viral photo of the rifle allegedly used in the shooting, noting it features a modern synthetic stock and stainless steel barrel. Jones points out that such rifles were not manufactured during the era of "grandpa's old 30-06," which would have had a wooden stock. They conclude that the official narrative is "rife with discrepancies" and compare the situation to the security failures at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

Claims that the shooter easily disassembled a long-bore rifle to fit it into a backpack are debunked as "Hollywood mythology." Expert analysis of the Mauser 98 and similar bolt-action rifles shows that disassembly requires removing multiple screws and would ruin the weapon's zero. The segment identifies Steve Wolf, a Hollywood weapons expert, as the source of the disassembly rumor on News Nation, suggesting it was a tactic to explain the lack of footage showing a long gun.
