Just one of the lies:
"But the ban and other U.S. gun laws wouldn't have prevented his mother's purchase of the powerful assault rifle or the especially deadly ammunition that he used to kill 26 people."

"especially deadly ammunition" where do they get this stuff?

[Gunner]

Just writers trying to use adjectives and going way overboard with it.

[Great-Kazoo]

Fear & loathing in USA

Call and write them. or if unlike me you're FB friendly go to their FB page and reeducate them

They don't care about accuracy in their reporting, they have an agenda.

[Teufelhund]

Blasted them a little over it on their FB page. I'm sure they'll delete it shortly.

They don't care about accuracy in their reporting, they have an agenda.

And that agenda, on any topic, is selling airtime or papers or magazines. I loathe the media.

Well ,to be fair, does anyone know if he used hollow or soft point bullets? Those are designed specifically to cause more soft tissue damage and be more lethal. It's still a very biased article, but it could be accurate to some degree.

I take issue with that particular phrasing because there are no varying degrees of "deadly." Like digital logic, it either is or is not. Stating that it was "especially deadly ammunition" is intended to invoke fear that this guy was out to make people really, really dead, as opposed to mostly dead.

[TRnCO]

that is exactly right in such as if he'd have used a .308, the lifes lost would still be the same.

[Byte Stryke]

because being 'especially dead' is worse than being "just dead."
