Automatic? You mean semi automatic

Automatic pistols...

The most strange thing is that these newscasters don’t even know - or care - how stupid they sound to anyone who knows anything about firearms.

Ignorance truly is bliss...

The MSM would think a double action revolver is autmomatic as you don't have to manually chamber another round.

As for high capacity magazines I am only familar with Glock that makes an extra long magazine for the Glock 17. Also 9mm is not high powered and many would consider it a "chick" gun.

Most journalists literally don’t know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun, many of them think duck hunters use rifles, probably less than five percent can conceive of the difference between automatic and semiautomatic. I have even read at least one column by one of these clowns who claimed to know that in fact automatic and semiautomatic are the same thing. If the average cardiac surgeon was no more competent than the average journalist it is doubtful that anyone would ever survive a bypass. If you see an accurate newspaper story it was probably written by someone who is in some other line of work and just happened to write a newspaper story for some reason.
