38mm?
Isn't that bigger then the gun mounted on an A-10 Warthog?

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

"...and carrying a 38 mm handgun."
This dope most likely meant .38 caliber.
Dear reporter: get your facts straight. Idiot.

Gosh, I thought that 20 & 40 mm anti-aircraft guns were big......a 38mm handgun....Wow!
I guess that shows how little some folks know about firearms. Of course it is illegal for most people in Canada to own handguns. I guess the Canadian Government should enact more laws to make it even more illegal.
And while they are at it, the Canadian government can register all firearms...oh, sorry I forgot, they tried that and the costs of the system helped topple a liberal government. I guess that computerized registration will have to be off the table for a while longer.

Yea, but the recoil is a real problem. LOL - And I'll bet those follow-up shots are a little slow in coming, too...

My favorite was a "reporter" talking about the 70 caliber automatic revolver.

Sorry, I thought this was about the Canadian school shooting instead of the Chicago bank robbery. Chicago also has anti-handgun laws, so maybe Chicago needs to pass more laws to make it even more illegal.
I'll read the story rather than the headline more closely next time.
