GFWs and their willing accomplices in the media never cease to amaze me. When an Albany (NY) officer was shot, they did what comes natural; blame the gun. Not only that, but they try to use some boogy man evil sounding gun label to further their cause (emphasis mine).

While authorities continue to piece together exactly what happened late Tuesday night, they do know one thing for certain--the weapon of choice used by the suspect, Keshon Everett. It was a semi-automatic machine pistol.

Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings said incidents like these only confirm the need for better gun control.

Jennings said, "I'm a strong proponent of doing whatever we have to do to get the message out that if you violate the laws relative to carrying an illegal weapon then you should go to jail."

For those of you that are gun ignorant, this is either more of the same gun ignorance, or a pathetic attempt by gun grabbers and the media to make a pistol sound worse than it is. Add it to the other lexicons like "high powered sniper rifle", and "assault weapon". They might as well call it something like a .45 caliber 9mm 12-gauge shotrifle.
