The B.C. Supreme Court entered a YouTube video of a Victoria man yesterday, the first time the Crown has done so in that province.
“AR-15 Makes Swiss Cheese Out of a Couch,” now removed from the site, was used as evidence against Brian Lynn Morrison for a number of charges, including the use of a prohibited weapon in a careless manner and without a licence or registration certificate.
The video allegedly shows Morrison demonstrating the weapon and explaining the silencer, saying,
It’s so powerful it goes right through everything.
The video allegedly shows Morrison demonstrating the weapon and explaining the silencer, saying, “It’s so powerful it goes right through everything.”
By everything, he means, of course, it goes right through a couch.
“the weapon” in the above links to the wikipedia AR-15 page but from the context I think the silencer refers to a second video that showed him with a different weapon, a MAC-10. In the AR-15 video he shoots a defenseless couch and makes the quoted comment.
The article says :
One video, allegedly shot by McNeill, shows Morrison doing an infomercial with the Mac-10.
“He appears to be demonstrating it, talking about the silencer,” said Jensen.

In “AR-15 Makes Swiss Cheese Out of a Couch,” Morrison inspects an abandoned couch, in a wooded area near a logging road, for bullet holes. “It’s so powerful it goes right through everything,” he tells the camera.
