Gun facts suggest Hunter S. Thompson was murdered

   If police reports are correct, gun experts have provided insight into the weapon used by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson in his alleged suicide suggesting that law enforcement authorities have ignored strong evidence that Thompson was murdered. Police reports say that the pistol Hunter Thompson used to allegedly kill himself was found with six rounds in the magazine but none in the firing chamber. Experts quizzed by this reporter have pointed out that the Smith & Wesson 645 semi-automatic pistol does not have a "manual cycle," the feature in a gun which was cited by law enforcement in an article by Deborah Frazier and Jeff Kass, of the Rocky Mountain News on March 2, 2005, to explain how the Thompson pistol could have been found with six rounds in the clip (the magazine) but none in the chamber. The experts said that in every firing event, the S&W 645 will cycle a new round into the chamber as long as there are bullets in the clip.
Police performed no ballistic tests to confirm that the round which killed Thompson was fired from the weapon found at his feet. More here.

semantics

(Concise Encyclopedia)

Study of meaning, one of the major areas of linguistic study (see linguistics). Linguists have approached it in a variety of ways. Members of the school of interpretive semantics study the structures of language independent of their conditions of use. In contrast, the advocates of generative semantics insist that the meaning of sentences is a function of their use. Still another group maintains that semantics will not advance until theorists take into account the psychological questions of how people form concepts and how these relate to word meanings.
