Ignorance of Guns Kills Me (or them)

What's Wrong With This Quote:

"Authorities have noticed an increase in high-caliber weapons in Los Angeles. One of the most startling incidents was when a Fabrique National 57, an assault pistol used to kill big game, was found in a victim's car by detectives investigating a double-homicide last year in North Hollywood.

‘You use it on large lions, tigers and bears,’ said LAPD Deputy Chief Michel Moore, commander of the Valley Bureau.”

Answer:

Apparently the Deputy Police Chief knows very little about guns.

It comes from this article http://www.dailynews.com/breakingnews/ci_12060413 I know it's 5 months old but it still bugs me. The whole article in itself is troubling, yet the ignorance of the reporter where guns are concerned is to be expected, you would expect a deputy police chief to know a little more than that. Like: A FN Five-seveN uses a 5.7x28 mm round, the same rounds as its complimentary assault rifle the P90, high power but not what I would call large caliber. Also it was designed for military and law enforcement to counter people with body armor, however the anti armor rounds are only available legally for purchase by military and law enforcement. There have been questions raised as to the stopping power of this round once fired from a pistol. I’m sure not going to use it on a lion, tiger or bear if the ability to stop a human is in question.

Then there is the whole semi-auto thing. Any firearm that automatically chambers a round after one has been fired is an automatic, the difference between semi and full auto is that with semi-automatic guns you have to pull the trigger again to fire a new round, where with full auto you just pull the trigger and it will fire till you let up or it is out of ammo, whichever comes first. This is just a classic example of the media trying to stir up anti-gun panic wherever they can.

Screw you "News" Media, with a lit stick of dynamite.
