Real Or Fake?

Real Or Fake?

Over at Crime, Guns, and Videotape is the claim that the recent Los Angeles Times article about the Heller case uses a photograph of a really, really tiny handgun--but that the "gun" in question was actually a German-made tear gas dispenser that was never considered a firearm under U.S. law--and can't be converted to a firearm, either.

I can't immediately verify this claim. But which is more likely? That a mainstream media organization hasn't a clue? Or that a blogger has it right? Based on past experience, I'll side with the blogger.
