How would that ever be a problem were they, per
statements, never used?

As I said, they create an image problem, and a real problem. The real
problem is that they make for dramatic stories that wind up totally
dissembling the facts about guns and crime...such as the story about the
deer hunter.

While he killed six people, six hundred were killed with handguns. And all
of the attention is being given to "assault weapons" while that is going on.

So because it's so usual that people are killed with "ordinary" guns
this one made the news, being so unusual? Or because of other reasons?

Someone has done a fine job of distracting attention from what's going on,
and you're playing right into it.
