CHAPTER 10

I relied on a number of accounts of the Killeen massacre and the tracing of Hennard’s Glock, including Kathy Jackson, “Gunman’s 9mm Pistol Is Type Often Used by Police: Weapon’s Accuracy Credited for Its Popularity,” Dallas Morning News, October 17, 1991; Tara Parker Pope, “Massacre in Killeen: Nevada County’s Tough Gun Laws Failed to Stop Killer,” Houston Chronicle, October 19, 1991; Nick Ravo, “Gun Used in Slayings Has Lethal Reputation,” New York Times, October 17, 1991; Linda Rehkopf, “Gun Came from Smyrna: Mother Likely Bought It,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 18, 1991; and Allan Turner, “Bloodbath in Killeen: ‘Ugly’ Gun Can Fire 16–20 Shots,” Houston Chronicle, October 17, 1991. For background on the assault weapons debate in Congress, I read Holly Idelson, “House Members Duel on Crime: Assault-Gun Ban Is Rejected,” Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report, October 19, 1991, and Matt Yancy, “House Rejects Ban on Assault Rifles, Large Clips,” Associated Press, October 17, 1991. Also of use in writing this chapter were “Of What Legal and Practical Use Is a Glock 9mm Semiautomatic Pistol?” Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 18, 1991; “Gun Ownership Has New Champion: Killeen Massacre Survivor,” Shooting Industry, June 1, 1992; Mark McDonald, “Under the Gun: As Crime Comes Closer and Closer, More and More City Dwellers Consider Owning and Learning to Use Firearms,” Dallas Morning News, December 12, 1991; and “Top 18 Handguns Used by Criminals,” USA Today, June 3, 1992.
