      The gun control debate is sparked again by the Navy Yard shooting in Washington. Aaron Alexis killed 12 before being fatally shot by police.


      We need to ban shotguns and guards with handguns.
      Or, as the New York Times calls them, "Law-enforcement style Pump-actions". Since obviously they can't use "military style rifle" for maxing scare tactics.

      He also used special babby-killing shotgun shells:

      The gunman then perched himself above an atrium where he fired down on people who had been eating breakfast, officials said, adding that he used shotgun shells that had roughly a dozen large ball-bearing-like shots in them, increasing the lethal nature of each shot.

        Probably the same way you can rent traditional hunting rifles.

        • I was hoping for a Browning Citori for maximum awkwardness in making it sound deadly, but a Remington 870 is also pretty mundane and NYT found itself up to the task.

          I only have #4 buck, I bet they'd say it was specially designed to travel through blood vessels or something, or maximize spread and hit multiple targets at once.

          • What the **** does "law enforcement style" mean? Law enforcement uses the same shotguns as anyone else.

            • Yeah. Calling it now, next time someone goes on a spree killing with his grandpa's hunting rifle it'll be a "sniper type weapon"

              • In the late 60s the NYT actually ran a editorial calling for banning scoped rifles, because only political assassins used them.

                  It means he bought one in "tactical black" plus doodads.
                  No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                  • I would totally be okay with them banning 870s with dumb "tactical" accessories

                    I mean, in principle I'm against it but I wouldn't be that upset.

                      That would suggest we should ban guns without scopes ...

                      • Despite accusations that the media is overblowing the coverage of these shootings. I learned yesterday that the US has had 250 mass shootings so far this year. "Mass shooting" is a shooting that involves 4 or more victims.

                        So yeah.

                        • 13 injured last night in one Chicago school yard. It probably won't even make the national news.

                            Were they black? Then it probably won't.

                                Give that man a cigar. Yes, correct. One was a three year old shot in the head. It does look like he will survive. I'd like to know what a three year old was doing in a school yard at 10:15 in the evening though.
