And the question we have to ask ourselves is, is this something that we want to keep accepting? is this something we're fed up with? is this something that we should take action on with regard to the easy access to guns. and with 21 people shot, we've got to really look at the likelihood that this is a rifle. it's very possible that this is going to be a semiautomatic rifle. it's very hard to injure that many people while you're moving shooting with a handgun. so don't be surprised if we hear this involves yet another semiautomatic or automatic weapon. >> six shots in total at least, right fra...
