the victims most likely were shot by a sniper using high-intensity .223-caliber bullets

Anyone know what a high intensity bullet is? < /sarcasm>

If these reporters and editors at all cared about accuracy in reporting, they'd find someone firearms-knowledgeable to review/edit their work before revealing their ignorance.

I wonder how they pack the extra gunpowder inside the outsized .223 cartridge?

Will they ever find a reporter that knows a rifle from a shotgun?

>>>>high intensity bullet>>>>>

LOL My husband said the same thing. This guy probably heard about the University of Texas tower shooter & wanted to see if he could do it.

Yep.

And did anyone ELSE notice how the TV coverage of the ATF "Show and Tell" about the TYPE of weapon suspected FOCUSED ON THOSE NASTY LOOKING -- SHUDDER -- "ASSAULT RIFLES," almost COMPLETELY NEGLECTING the far more accurate BOLT ACTION hunting arm???

If you're going to take ONE SHOT, the weapon of choice is the bolt action rifle with a heavy competition barrel, NOT the nasty looking assault rifle designed for rapid-fire combat situations.

I assure you that reporters and news casters don't know much about ANYTHING. Houston has one of the largest Medical Centers in the world and is the US home of the oil industry. The things our local media says about these two industries proves they don't have a clue, and are unwilling to learn.

They're not great at politics either. A couple of years ago, our local right wing talk station reported about Bill Archer the chairmen of the House Ways and Means committee at the top of every hour, all day. They kept referring to him as the Congressman from Sugar Land, the problem being that's Tom DeLay's hometown.

yeah.. it's a bullet that really really really means it!

not to be confused with "safer bullets", which don't really mean it...
