The gunman, believed to have a 9mm pistol - the calibre now used by US armed forces - had made no demands but said he would kill himself, Williamson said.

Help me here: why the need to mention this?

A poor attempt to blame Pres. Bush for this...
Poor job, but you've got to give them a swift kick in the pants for trying.

To make sure all readers get the message that it's too easy for dangerous nuts to get Military Assault Weapons.

Because they are trying to imply some sinister connection to the U.S. military. This is Bush's fault, afterall, and he is commander in chief. He lied to the American people. The military is evil. Yada, yada, yada.

And why spell Calibre in the Euro-trash manner? Answer that question, and your initial question will be answered, I'm thinking. Oh, and as an aside, isn't it also the caliber used by many European Forces, too?

It's "The Buzz".

It is a continuing low key brain washing that spins everything into the left wing argument.

Guilt by association!
9mm used by the US armed forces, used by the Israeli built UZI machine gun, used by Nazis, used by many despotic regimes & also by other ugly assault weapons.

I was wondering the same thing. What in the world does the caliber of his gun have to do with the U.S. military?
