[400 4spd.]

CBS "News" just did a story on it. They report that he used "a gun popular with Mexican drug cartel members". They followed with the fact that it can hold a 20 round magazine!!! and is known as "a cop killer"! OOOOHHHHWWWWW, THAT gun.
Never mentioned the manufacturer, nor caliber, but displayed a 1911 style semi automatic.

I wonder where this is headed.
Does anyone else see a renewed demand for tighter gun control laws?

You mean a Colt pistol? That can hold a 20 round magazine?
I don't suppose the reporters used the term 'assault rifle' by any chance.

Sounds like typical anti-gun folks that don't know much about firearms.

Several years ago here in Baltimore WBAL was interviewing a MD STATE POLICE CAPTAIN. He was standing there telling people how dangerous and illegal the fully auto TEC-9 is that was used in this shooting AND HES HOLDING A - MAC10 - UP TO THE CAMERA.

Having had a TEC-9 (which is ONLY SEMI-auto) and knowing the difference, I called and spoke with him at his barracks because I was so pi....ed about the deception. I got the same kind of ignorant BS directly as hed put out on the news. I was wrong he was right!

It isnt only media that are ignorant!!
