Matt wrote earlier about USA Today's rather strange inclusion of a "chainsaw bayonet" as a possible modification for an AR-15. While those are apparently real, they're by no means a common or mainstream thing, and one certainly wasn't used in the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
To mock USA Today for their shoddy attempt at stoking hysteria about strange gun modifications, people on Twitter wasted no time in coming up with some other "possible modifications" of an AR-15.
They were pretty funny:

It's absolutely terrifying that there are no laws against this! A gun like this can break the wheel! #PossibleModifications pic.twitter.com/noZxkxWJQq

Just replace every part with another chainsaw, and an extra, slightly smaller #ChainsawBayonet for good taste.#PossibleModifications pic.twitter.com/5QVUK4lcO1

Thankfully Second Amendment-types have a sense of humor.
