Spoons has more on the recent shooting from Chicago; the city where the only legal owner of the murder weapon is being charged with a crime. The gun the shooter used was a 1960s model .380 pocket pistol. Whether accidental or part of a larger conspiracy to make guns sound more evil than they are, the moronic Chicago media had this to say about the mighty .380.

[Acting Chicago Police Superintendent Phil] Cline said Tapia had a Walther .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol and "at least one extra clip.'' Cline described it as "an older model gun.'' The weapon is small and easily concealed, designed for plainclothes officers. [...]

A gun made for plainclothes cops because of its big firepower and small size was the weapon Salvador Tapia brandished Wednesday.

As any gun owner can tell you, while a .380 pocket pistol may be easy to conceal, "big firepower" it aint. The .380 cartridge is like a wimpy 9mm, but with less power, and calling it "big firepower" either illustrates just how ignorant the media is, or how willing they are to demonize firearms. Either way, the result on the average uninformed American is the same.
