I thought Dimitrios Pagourtzis used a shotgun to kill those people at Santa Fe High School.

You can tell that to this former LEO all you want, and he’ll tell you it doesn’t matter. In fact, the news orgs are not beating the drum as long or as hard in the wake of the Santa Fe shooting exactly because it didn’t involve an evil black rifle. You could also tell this guy that his Mauser action bolt action hunting rifle was originally a military grade rifle designed for killing multiple adversaries in combat. Does that mean you shouldn’t have a bolt action rifle either?

It’s a specious distinction, and not to be taken seriously.
