The Media Blows It Again

By Kristi Heim
Seattle Times business reporter;
One of the most popular guns for home protection turned out to be the gun of choice for Kyle Huff, suspected of Saturday's shooting rampage.
The 12-gauge shotgun does maximum damage to the body of its target. It's easy to purchase. No permit is required, and an instant background check over the phone can be as fast as credit-card approval for someone with no prior felony conviction...
Huff was no stranger to shotgun violence. He was booked on criminal-mischief charges in Montana in 2000 on suspicion of blasting an outdoor sculpture of a moose.

Why is the article focused on how easy the gun is to purchase when Kyle Huff (The bonehead in the report) was a criminal who purchased the Gun illegally? I'd love to see an article written on how easy it is for criminals to buy guns on the street, and how low the violent crime rate is for law abiding gun owners. Who are the only ones following the stupid rules on buying a gun anyway.
