I'm not going to get into a debate, but it has been said many times that the assault weapon was found locked in the trunk of his car. Even coroner's reports have stated that the wounds of the victims were not caused by an assault weapon.
None of this makes heckling a victim's father appropriate behavior, but it also does not excuse continued lies by the media being used by a few individuals in congress to introduce legislation banning a type of weapon that was not used in the first place.
