Moonbeam Brown was blaming the bullets for the crime in Oakland.

No doubt more inaccurate reporting - I'm sure that Moonbeam pulled out a loaded .50BMG shell, which is a bullet loaded into the brass, which in turn contains powder and has a primer to start the powder burning shortly after the trigger is pulled. The bullet itself is just the projectile that comes out of the barrel of a firearm after the trigger is pulled, and is not that effective a prop in a debate.

Yeah, its a technicality, but one thing that irritates me is the incomplete and/or inaccurate reporting we see virtually everywhere on virtually every subject (and especially as relates to firearms).

The senator, who served as Central Valley chairman of the Bush presidential campaign in 2004, charged that "Jerry Brown has spent more time with Fidel Castro than I have with George Bush."

Zing!
