In the wake of the shootings, our friends across the Pond once again proudly put their ignorance on display:

“I think the reason it happens in America is there’s access to weapons — you can go into a supermarket and get powerful automatic weapons,” Keith Ashcroft, a psychologist, told the Press Association.

You can’t legally purchase “automatic” weapons anywhere, let alone in a supermarket, but that doesn’t prevent Dr. Ashcroft from pontificating about a country he knows nothing about. And the WaPo reporter can’t be bothered (and likely is just as clueless) to correct it for the reader.
