Are you saying it is ok to mis-represent the facts to lead the audience Rick?

I didn't comment on the judge being shot.

I commented on the media bias towards their anti-gun editors and owners.

You don't call a shotgun a pistol do you?

Do you call a carbine a rifle?

They stated "high powered rifle" for a reason, and it was a misleading hype quote to attract those fearful of guns, and those who like them, own them, shoot them, or deal with them.
You are overreacting, again. They wrote "high-powered" rather than "high-velocity". For those of us without a firearms fetish, it might not seem like a big deal. How exactly this mistake is anti-gun, escapes me. Could it possibly reflect an ignorance of the gun rather than some sort of media conspiracy anti-gun agenda?

And regarding your claim that the Bushmaster might not be a "sniper's choice", it is an unquestionably dangerous gun in the hands of a sniper as demonstrated by Muhammed and Malvoy who were doing far more than sniping "paper targets".
