  - Rob was referring to a very specific category of shooting. - TB - 1/17/2013 7:26:58 PM
    - That's what I said: cherry-picking - Robert - 1/17/2013 8:15:26 PM
      - Given the details of actual gun death statistics, the entire "assault rifle" flap is cherry-picking. - TB - 1/17/2013 10:02:03 PM

        You say I mischaracterized what LaPierre said? Care to point that out to me, please? - alcaray - 1/20/2013 6:52:46 AM

    - There's one list... - TB - 1/18/2013 4:20:47 AM
      - They are very old cases and I don't recall the coverage except for one of them. - alcaray - 1/18/2013 7:51:59 AM
