Oh, lets see where to begin with the inaccuracies

On April 4, Richard Popalawski killed three Pittsburgh police officers before being killed by police."

Richard Popalawski is alive and in jail.

"He noted that individual and gun-show purchases of semiautomatic rifles don't require criminal background checks."

Not true, if two individuals buy/sell at a gunshow it is still an individual purchase. The vendors selling at a gunshow still perform an individual background check on buyers.

"York is baffled by that attitude, saying semiautomatic rifles aren't needed for hunting or self-defense."

The bolt action rifle is not needed for hunting or self defense either. So what? As a matter of fact, there are many states that allow hunting with semi auto rifles. Chief York, you need to look up the reason why the second amendment exists. It's not for hunting.

Another poorly researched article from the mainstream media.

Chief York, you need to look up the reason why the second amendment exists. It's not for hunting.

The 2d Amendment comes after the 1st. The 1st allows a citizen to shoot his mouth off. The 2d allows a citizen to shoot anyone who is going to shoot the citizen for for shooting his mouth off.

Wild game has never been a threat to free political expression. However, a citizen is allowed to also shoot wild game when appropriate.

Semi auto are not needed for self defense. HA!! Reporter needs to live in one of those MacMansions located in a rural suburbia. With unemployment going up, guarantee crime will go up along with home invasions of wealthy homes. Will not be done by one guy with a pistol, it will be four or more youths with guns. Try defending your family and self with one revolver or single shot rifle/shotgun. I think the reporter will want more than a semi auto rifle, like an assault rifle with a 30 round mag minimum. Problem with these reporters are they think everyone lives in a built up area with cops around the corner. They forget that the rest of the country live in rural and semi rural areas where cops are miles away.
