Damn fine story, but man some of the people and their comments just don't get it at all! Unfortunately they are the ones that will never have any kind of occurrence happen to them to even warrant the need for a firearm for protection.

Why bother, it isn't important?good story , the problem is I just got sucked into arguing with morons for an hour and had to explain the difference between a clip and a magazine.
The article is a good read - especially for CNN.
But I can't help but notice the links to all the other stories they have between each paragraph. Like the plug for Anderson Cooper's look at both sides of the gun debate. And the link to the article "Why would someone own a military-style rifle," which spoon feeds the readers with "sampled" gun owners' reasoning. They include fabulous reasons under such great subtitles like "Some people play golf, others bowl. I shoot." or "Fascination with the Second Amendment." and this great one "Its Cool."
Scroll a bit further down and look at the list of article links; all tragedies and "gun violence" stories.
Don't be fooled. No matter how they change their tactics in order to position or subtly deliver their message on the surface, CNN is full of shit. They have one goal - to make all gun owners look like a bunch of selfish, uneducated, extremists and /or crazies who do not care about people. They lead readers in with a seemingly fair view of the "gun owners side" and barrage them with links to the violent crime / tragedy stories in an attempt to sway opinions.
