More Media Lies

The media keeps saying "semi-automatic", but all weapons used were
pistols...

The media certainly has a responsibility for accuracy, but here the
real problem to be addressed is the unnecessary widespread
availability of guns to people who not only do not have a need, but
rely on the 'right to bear arms'. Rights also have responsibilities,
and the government should seriously get on and properly restrict
access to firearms.


Define "properly". Even define a proper trade-space for any
given regulation. Factor in that people can move guns across state
lines.

If you can do it, you'd be the first.

Semiautomatic are obviously a potential problem,
but even single shot are highly dangerous.
