Heeeeeere they come again

Southside Chicago: Three teenagers killed in a gang war, and the responsible party is an "assault rifle."  The newspaper leads varied from "an apparent assault rifle" to "at least one assault rifle." But the dreaded words were always in the lead, usually also in the headline. 

In a better world reporters would follow up with a few salient facts:

-- Unregistered "assault rifles" are already illegal in America.

-- Guns that look like assault rifles are already illegal in Chicago.

-- The shooter possessed whatever kind of gun  it was illegally unless he had an Illinois Firearms Owners Identification Card. Any bets?

-- The shooter had an uncased and  loaded rifle in the car, and that's already illegal.

I know TMR readers already know this stuff, but it's offered as a handy guide for instant education of the hand-wringers you may know. We might also ask them to explain why some new gun law would dissuade such shooters. 

Steel yourselves. The left is in national  control, and the gun-ban media are anxious to bang the drums for any placebo that appears to "do something."
