I’m thinking of buying one for home protection and what ever this guy used sounds like the perfect weapon for me.

Don't get fire arms info off of media coverage. Find some knowledgeable people and talk to them. The needs of defense and the 'needs' of an attack like that are very different criteria. In addition the main criteria for a gun purchases for use is how well YOU can use it. Go to a gun show or some place with lots of selection and see what fits your hands the best. Many guns don't feel right in many people's hand. Everyone is different and there are many types of guns. Do your homework and ignore this sort of news coverage.

Agreed - the best weapon for, say, a home defense scenario is almost always not going to be the same one that someone like this lunatic used. Or it may be - it all depends on your situation.
