What the gently caress is a 'long gun'? Is this code for 'assault rifle' or something?

I'd say bigger than a submachine gun, but with no more details than that. Deliberately vague in order to cover all the possibilities.

A armored Bobcat like what they were using to check the SUV. Apparently the LAPD got one after the Dorner incident.

Doesn't seem to be terrorism, although I'm struggling to think of a holiday party dispute that would cause some guy to leave, find 2 friends, convince them to come back with him armed to the teeth, and then shoot up a whole place.

quote:

A dispute at a holiday gathering may have sparked a mass shooting in San Bernardino that left 14 people dead and 17 others wounded on Wednesday morning, federal law enforcement officials said.

As many as three assailants, who carried long guns and wore masks, opened fire on a gathering of San Bernardino county employees around 11 a.m., sources and a witness told the Los Angeles Times.

A senior federal official who is monitoring the case said investigators believe one of the shooters left the party after getting into an argument and returned with one or two armed companions.

The shooting took place in a large conference room on the grounds of the Inland Regional Center, which serves people with developmental disabilities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

wtf america

why does "a holiday dispute" turn into a mass shooting with the local police chief telling reporters that "they came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission".

Karthe posted:

It's a gun that is long. Sometimes the English language is full of surprises.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_gun

quote:

A long gun is a category of firearms and cannons with longer barrels than other classes. In small arms, a long gun is generally designed to be fired braced against the shoulder, in contrast to a handgun, but may include mounted firearms such as the M1919 Browning Machine Gun while in artillery a long gun would be contrasted with a howitzer or carronade.

The actual length of the barrels of a long gun are subject various laws in many jurisdictions, for example by the National Firearms Act in the United States, which sets a minimum length of 16 inches (40 cm) for rifle barrels and 18 inches (45 cm) for shotgun barrels.

But this anonymous report indicates explosive devices being thrown and pipe bombs and the FBI taking over the investigation. So someone is misinformed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...omepage%2Fstory

quote:

A local law enforcement official confirmed that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found a suspected pipe bomb on one of the suspects. That official also said the FBI has taken over the investigation. Multiple devices were thrown from the SUV during the chase, law enforcement officials said.

quote:

We, let’s imagine, in a city where children are dying of a ravaging infection. The good news is that its cause is well understood and its cure, an antibiotic, easily at hand. The bad news is that our city council has been taken over by a faith-healing cult that will go to any lengths to keep the antibiotic from the kids. Some citizens would doubtless point out meekly that faith healing has an ancient history in our city, and we must regard the faith healers with respect—to do otherwise would show a lack of respect for their freedom to faith-heal. (The faith healers’ proposition is that if there were a faith healer praying in every kindergarten the kids wouldn’t get infections in the first place.) A few Tartuffes would see the children writhe and heave in pain and then wring their hands in self-congratulatory piety and wonder why a good God would send such a terrible affliction on the innocent—surely he must have a plan!
