My mistake, Keith. I thought that they were saying that he used the shotgun until it malfunctioned, then went to the handguns he had acquired. I do understand the concept of a firearm that disassembles for transport. Lots of firearms do that, though, so I guess it just didn't register that way.Keith B wrote:Broke down means he carried it in with the barrel and or stock removed from the receiver and then reassembled it before the shooting. That would make it more easily carried in and concealed.K.Mooneyham wrote:If the shotgun "broke down", it was probably because he didn't clean it first, or because he didn't know how to run a shotgun properly.

They are also talking about the fact that the shot gun broke down and he used buck shot. (the shotgun equivalent to hollow point) I guess buck shot will be outlawed because of this.
On the other, side a right wing blog is reporting that Marines have reported that they could have stopped the shooter after three rounds, if they were only allowed to have ammunition for their weapons.
