    You're confusing conversation on a message board with actual reporting. I'm sure the folks feuding with you over the semi/full thing would be accurate if they were working the story.

    Oh yeah. I’m totally sure too.

    That’s why why we haven’t seen these kinds of errors make it into print.

    Btw, can someone tell me what an automatic round is, and where I can purchase one?

    Yep. I might as well have written that myself. (Would I had the column-writing skills of one Bret Stephens.)

    Repeal it. Start the campaign today.

    Not to be picky, but that's a tweet. Which is a slightly different version of a headline or a subhed. And is often being pushed out in the middle of the night by a 24-year-old "social media editor."

    Does the phrase "automatic round" appear in the story?

    I'm not buying this excuse.

    You bought Twitter, you own it.

    I don't think it's a defense that Twitter is somehow a lesser form of journalistic communication, bound to lesser standards.

    Military and counter terrorism experts were analyzing the gunfire as automatic in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, as soon as the videos came out where you could hear the gunfire.

    They are familiar with "firearms facts."
