In which @USAToday prove to be complete idiots. 30-50% of American households own firearms, but apparently USA Today doesn't employ any of those people. Their failure to understand the terrifying lethality of shotguns reveals a complete ignorance of their subject matter.

We note the
@USATODAY article has been edited to seem less ignorant, but still contains errors and desperately clings to their assault rifle message. We're all for banning semi-auto rifles but suggest that cramming lobbyist talking points into a news article is a bad approach. -
There are lots of anti-gun groups who actually do research and training and could provide insight to the news media, but instead they apparently just let the intern write the stories based on a movie they watched one time at band camp. The truth is enough.

Less lethal? That is the craziest thing I have ever read. Who writes this stuff?

Are you SERIOUS? Did you just give praise to someone for using a shotgun and handgun to KILL 10 people?? Because he didn't use an AR15 instead? Those 10 people are DEAD because this young man SHOT them. Doesn't matter what he used to do so...

Maybe they died *slower*, is that was "less lethal" means!? Good job, shooter!

How incredibly ignorant and insensitive!! We're the weapons he used "less lethal" to the 10 dead? Are you so hell bent on driving an agenda on "assault" weapons that you'd ignore the FACT that 2/3 of all mass shootings are with handguns? Same firing rate as AR-15!!

That sounds so stupid. All bullets are dangerous no matter what they are fired from.

Shotguns are used (by criminals doing illegal things) in more homicides than ALL rifles.pic.twitter.com/aOQUNohXqH

Sometimes, when you're writing propaganda, it's hard to avoid painting yourself into a corner. They've spent years convincing their followers that AR-15s are "more lethal", so everything else must be "less lethal", no matter how stupid that may be.
