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

Educate yourself. A pistol is a semi-automatic handgun, not to be
confused with a revolver.
Educate your own self.
Modern handguns AND old-fashioned revolvers fire exactly one round for
every squeeze of the trigger.
What in the world does that have to do with your assertion that media
lies by calling the weapons used "semi-automatic?" The weapons used are
indeed semi-automatic as defined by the BATFE.
That's the media's definition of "semi-automatic"...in their vain
attempt to equate all guns to the same as an AR15... which also fires
exactly one round for every squeeze of the trigger.
The media relies on bird-brains who equate shoot-em-up chase-scene
movies with reality.
Are you one of those? If so, I've got one "squeeze" for you :-}
...Jim Thompson
Revolvers also fit the definition...

But "semi-automatic" is a scare word to intimidate the ignorant.

Only BATF calls them "semi-automatic"... the general public doesn't.
...Jim Thompson
You just contradicted yourself. Media accurately refers to the weapons
used as "semi-automatic," as do many more within the general public than
you may believe.
By the way, a revolver is not a semi-automatic weapon. Try reading again
with the goal of comprehension the Wiki article that you cited.
The general public doesn't have a clue, that's our problem.
...Jim Thompson
Evidently, you don't have a clue. That's your problem. ;-)
