Sorry, Brad, I'm just not impressed with the article. Sounds to me like the reporter's sources had detailed information about the guns and how many rounds were fired, and he/she managed to copy it all into the story.
I also agree with Jeff Cooper that reporters shouldn't worry about the type of pistol used, and just report pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc.
Fistful, buddy, you need to get the pickle out (and open your eyes a little)...
You would rather they had used all the old tired cliche's and made the guns into some evil, horrible thing that was the cause of the even, rather than factually reporting it? This is the kind of reporting we
need. So what if she just copied the story, at least she copied it accurately and didn't editorialize. Getting on her case for it is not only totally counter-productive, it also puts you squarely into the stereotype for the gun owner the anti's love to write about.
Personally, I'd prefer giving her a few pats on the back to encourage further accurate reporting and keeping her at least in the middle (if not on our side) rather than browbeating her and driving her solidly into the anti-gun reporter category. We already have enough of those. I don't want to be the root cause in the creation of one more.
