Good thing he didn't have a pack of firecrackers, damn we'd all loose our fireworks before the 4th got here!
Typical antigun BS, they are just looking for anything to hype and the obedient leftist media is more than happy to follow in lockstep with the story. The gun wasn't used in the commission of the crime, but its still evil and takes center stage. Pretty soon they make every so called terrorist take a mugshot holding a teabag so the media can ramp up the lies about the violent teabagger's.
