Not far from where I used to live. Seattle has so little violent crime, too, so this is doubly strange.

a weapon Kerlikowske said was designed "for hunting people."


Sensationalistic tripe. The point of a pistol grip shotgun is to more easily manuever it inside confined spaces - it's pretty much the perfect weapon for home defense. The thing is, the big argument against handguns is that they're easily concealed. A shotgun - regardless of whether it has a buttstock - is not. Why didn't people start running and screaming the moment they saw him coming with it?

My real question, though, is how in the hell did he have access to a hand grenade? That sets off all kinds of alarm bells because I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression it was flat out impossible to legally possess one, regardless of what kind of licence you have. Civilians with access to weapons for home defense is all well and good, but access to high explosives/fragmentation devices is not.
