Layers of editorial oversight

NBC Washington:

In December, Aguilar purchased a single-barrel shotgun at United Gun Shop, along with a box of bucketshot (large and lethal) and birdshot (small and round) ammunition. The shotgun could be broken down into several pieces, making it easy to transport.

Ok, then.

    Giving “30-caliber magazine” a run for its’ money.

    They’re making an issue of the fact the shotgun can be broken down?

    Out here in the real world, that’s a legal way of carrying a shotgun in a vehicle – if it’s not fully cased then it must be broken down into component parts, i.e. ‘lock, stock and barrel’.

    I do not think a gun that can shoot a bucket – as in launch one from its barrel – would be terribly legal, shotgun or not…

  4. Veeshir Says:

    Once again they leave out important information.

    What shape is bucketshot? Apparently it’s not round.

  5. Mr Evilwrench Says:

    Bucket firing cannon? That would be legal.

    I was going to say that spell checkers are not always your friend, but in this case; I tried “bucketshot” and got a red line under it. Anyway, Bill Gates doesn’t recognize it as a word. The suggested corrections were;

    Buckets hot
    and
    Bucket shot

    “Buckshot” was not suggested, but when it type it, it’s not flagged so buckshot is recognized as a word.

    “Journalists” in any case have no business trying to discuss highly technical aspects of firearms like “bucketshot” anyway. I thought they had that proscription in their anti-rights playbook. The “oversight” then would be that someone ignored the playbook and made the attempt to talk technical (i.e. reveal himself to be a jackass) and no one caught him in the act.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
