how the media hungers to report details of the exact weapon that the shooter of the day used for their latest horror. "If it bleeds it leads", and what makes it bleed leads, too. Case in point, please review all of the attention and corrections made on the exact model of semi automatic weapon used at Sandy Hook.

No-one uses bump fire stocks to shoot up a school yard or bar because they are a crappy uncontrollable gimmick only good for wasting money and ammunition to impress your friends at the range.
