I like the line "He then saw that a man had crashed a gray Ford pickup into the SUV and was brandishing a high-powered rifle."

Yup, those are easy to spot. Just gotta look for the caliber on the barrel... Or maybe they mean "assault weapon", which fires a medium-powered round?

Sounds like when they talk on CSI about how they retrieve a bullet that came from a "hi-capacity 9mm handgun". I wonder how they know what kind of magazine was used from the (questionable) ballistics information...

And the universal witness comment:

"...but they never thought things would turn so violent."

But we did. So please don't impede our right to be prepared.

In Hollywoodany cartridge firearm, whether single shot, bolt action, revolver, pump action or semi automatic is high capacity. Normal capacity for a liberal can be found in black powder rifles and pistols, which have a reload rate of 1-2 rounds per minute.

Those are the only guns us unwashed masses should have access to. I mean, we're too bitter and not intelligent enough to handle a "high-capacity" weapon!!

Gotta love this one too:

"Hennelly reminded that "it is imperative that people call 9-1-1 immediately if they witness suspicious or violent behavior.""

...when just previously in the story it was mentioned that:

"the police chief watched the whole crime unfold from his window as he called for backup units."
