Holy Cow! A real unbiased report from CNN involving guns and murder

CNN actually refered to the SKS rifle used in their report on the recent wisconsin deer hunter murders as:

UPDATE: it didn't take long, a quick phone call from vpc did the trick I guess. Now CNN says

so there it is, the usual stuff.
