Gray deserves an award. That was some pretty good shooting. An ordinary .45 only holds 8 shots, and we don't know how many he actually fired. He gets 4 hits on an armed opponent who has just shot his boss.
Maybe we should create an "Earp Award" so we can give it to him!
As is often the case, the reporter adds nonsense. As I understand it, there is no gun "registration" in PA, so how could the gun be "properly registered"?
This is a literary devise of the anti freedom types to get people used to the idea of registration.
You are right that the reporter is acting as if registration is required. Probably trying to reinforce the idea that registration is normal.
The gun was properly registered according to the requirements of our Constitition, which means it was NOT registered. Any registration would be improper.
I recently attended a great 2nd Amendment seminar at George Mason University Law School, and learned about the natural law and common law right to self-defense -- so fundamental as to be taken for granted by the drafters of the Constitution. A presenter told about an outrageous case in the UK about a homeowner who is going to rot away in prison for the rest of his life for shooting burglars. You can't even carry a walking stick now in the UK. I wonder if they can carry only light umbrellas now. No heavy umbrella that could be used for self-defense. Crime has skyrocketed.
Maybe because it is not "imprpoperly" registered. (/sarcasm)
Just checked packing.org and didn't see anything about registration either.
The constant reference to "registration" in states that don't require it shows the ignorance of the reporter. It's also one of the two things that bugs me about CSI. Nevada does not have registration but in almost every show someone asks if a gun was registered.
