You tell me. All I know is it's called an "Auto".

And no, that is one gun you can't file the sear on. The action is too long to permit fully automatic firing.

I don't like Trump, but I agree with you. As I have stated in other threads, Trump could have (before the inauguration) printed out Hillary's agenda, followed every bit of it to the nth degree, and the hate for him with some Hillary supporters and others wouldn't have dissipated one iota because he is the PG.

A $40 billion global industry is a twitching corpse to you?

You'd think beauty would help you get somewhere in Hollywood, but that's certainly not the case when you see boring faces/boring bodies Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone getting the big roles....
Even the voice of Jennifer Lawrence is absolutely disgusting.
Jennifer Lawrence's voice is "disgusting"? WTF?

Exactly why does the correspondent quoted above apparently believe that "idiots" and "untrained people" are wandering around with "automatic" weapons? As you no doubt are aware, in most cases, of course, that would be illegal as a matter of federal law (barring full compliance with a rigorous regulatory process already in place), and may further be illegal as a matter of state law depending on the state in question.

So what is this correspondent actually talking about, Perfesser? Could it be he/she simply doesn't know the difference between a firearm capable of fully automatic fire and one that is merely a semi-automatic? What is the deal here, Perfesser?

So then you actually did not have access to an automatic firearm at Bob Jones university then. Check.

Um...pro-gun control doesn't equal anti gun or anti 2nd amendment.

Will elimination of assault rifles/weapons of war/ "scary black guns" stop all shootings? No. Nobody believes that. What we do know from studying other countries where they have been eliminated is that mass shootings have dropped almost below statistical levels. We want the same results here.

Anyone who has a better idea is welcome to bring it. For those who say "it won't work", how do you know? The United States has never tried anything whatsoever. This will give us a starting point and empirical data to work with.
Keep or repeal the second amendment?

Oscars: Celebrities Push Gun Control Surrounded by a Wall of 500 Armed Officers



(and don't cry about this being Breitbart, the LAPD says it is true)
I don’t pay attention to those preening professional pretenders.

Bob Jones had a Thompson M1928A1. Yes, it was fully automatic.
