        You don't even know the weapon used and you're already calling it an "assault rifle"? Biased?

        investigators described as "high-capacity assault" based on shells at scene. Also believed to be gang related

        oh, so they can identify the capacity of a firearm by brass casings on the ground? that's some minority report shit

        If you knew anything about firearms whatsoever, you'd know there's no logical way they could verify the style of weapon

        If there are 10-20 shell casings w/ identical ballistics, it's likely a single rifle w/ high-capacity mag

        I agree. I'm just saying it's possible to estimate the class of weapon from the casings and attack window

        Also, one can not identify a "high capacity assault weapon" from shell casings.

        "assault weapon" sells killings like "SUV" used to. But black plastic guns and metal fenders have little to do with human behaviors.

        I'm not going to click on this, because the headline is just so DEMOCRAT. "Assault weapon!" paired w/church. Stop w/gun narrative

        actually reports on a shooting in Chicago, but only because it can mis-characterize the type of gun used to advance a narrative.

        Chicago is in ruins when it comes to gun violence and economy. Not a popular topic with the media though.

        When people are not mature or sensible enough the scarcity of guns will reduce killing. Simple math.
