Pump Shotgun Described by Officials as Automatic Weapon Meant to Hunt Nothing But Men

Maybe it had a shoulder thing that went up!

What like a barrel shroud?

If that second fat guy is indicative of the level of mental acumen and training of the average police superior or spokesman in that state, then Forrest Gump would be king there.

"Was there anything illegal about the shotgun?"

"The fact that he HAD it was illegal."

Turns it this "automatic of some type" was a PUMP shotgun, and had a dreaded "retractable stock", a sling, and extra shells.

How about if he said. "meant to KILL nothing other than men". Would that be better? The gun is/was, after all.

Ah, but if it was a SPAS 12, he would be right, both times.

It's amazing in it's own way. Five policemen shot and brave EMT's pulling the wounded out of harms way under fire. A detail where obviously dangerous drug dealers are being watched. Yet the chief of police is worried about firearms. So while this may be a bit of thread drift- let me say for the record... Thank God, for the EMT's bravery and that none of the policemen were killed. My prayers for the wounded men and sincere thank you to the squad that took these two dangerous persons off the street once and for all.

Item last, a shotgun is not an assault weapon. For that matter, an AK-47 or an M-16 is not an assault weapon- unless there are assault people holding them. To paraphrase Shakespeare: not in our weapons, police chief, but in ourselves.

I truly think you should believe next to nothing that is broadcast on TV.

Well said...........
