I just don't quite understand why, time and time again, journalists cannot discuss firearms related terms properly, when, surely, they discuss topics they are not familiar with time and time again and seem to get them mostly correct, and yet, when it comes to firearms, they simply cannot! I guess, without sounding too political, the media tends to be so left wing that they are uncomfortable discussing the topic, or even researching it to get it right. For example, I heard today on the radio, when Proposition 63 in California was discussed, limiting firearms to "10 rounds of bullets". Indeed, a round is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a unit of ammunition consisting of the parts necessary to fire one shot". Therefore, 10 rounds of bullets is totally incorrect, and even saying 10 rounds of ammunition would be redundant, but could be construed as clarifying the definition of round, as there are many. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/round
Not sure why the media can never seem to get this one right.
