Well, he’s wrong.
And white police officers gun down black teenagers pretty much every day.
Does “I was able to go out and buy an automatic weapon” mean that he actually did so?
Im betting he doesnt have a Class III, and he claimed on air that he’d purchased an automatic weapon. Maybe a call to the ATF tip line is in order.
Funny, I remember pay an exorbitant price for an old Colt lower at a Class III dealer, going to an attorney and getting a gun trust, and waiting about 8 months for my tax stamp to process before I got my M-16.
But he is right about all the other topics he covers......./sarc
Sure you can.
All you have to do find an automatic weapon for sale - there are not a lot of them since they stopped allow the sale of new automatic weapons in 1968.
Then you pay a vastly inflated price for said weapon (remember no new automatic weapons after 1968).
Finally you have to get a tax stamp.
This is all assuming, of course, you pass your check.
Oh, and you have to have a safe to store the weapon, and the BATFE can descend on you at any time to see if you still have the weapon and that it is stored in the safe.
I buy full auto clip magaziness for my uzi glock assault rifles that shoot high capacity caliber cop killer dum dum bullets ALL the time.
But you’re not the famous and “handsome” gay, black news anchor Don Lemon or the influential communist Van Jones.
I’m sure there’s a good number of rioters down there that could demonstrate to Mr. Lemon the difference between a semi-automatic and an automatic weapon.
Timely story.
My co-worker just picked up his Mac 11....SEVENTEEN MONTHS after starting the process. Oh, and 5k+ later.
Welcome to The Peoples Republic of CT.
Hey - it’s CNN - only three people saw it and they were sleeping.
“Normally not a bad host”.. Uhhhhh
Duhhhhh.
The guy is a doofus.
(T,F) There is a huge cabal of white racist supremacist police officers gunning down innocent black males.
(T,F) There is a huge cabal of young male black thugs, murdering, robbing, beating and raping white victims every single day.
You know he’s ignorant of the difference between a “self-loading semi-automatic”, “select fire”, and “full auto”.
He probably thinks they’re all the same thing.
Question one: True
Question two: You’re a racist.

In ‘95 I was at an unmonitored public range in the forest shooting with a friend. Suddenly here comes three boom-box thumping 20’’ rimmed pimpmobiles. Two were late ‘70’s purple Capris’. One was a new Audi or BMW. The new-car homie brings out a suitcase and is trailed by a couple of hookers and some down-dressed surly guys from the cheaper pimpmobiles. Leader guy opens the case and it’s full of (loaded) full auto short machine guns, all banging together. He handed them out and the follower-guys pointed them downrange and pulled the trigger. The guns quickly climbed to directly overhead as they dumped their entire clips in something around 2 seconds. My buddy and I ran.
With all the gun shows I’ve attended and gun NUTS I’ve known, nobody has ever shown me a machine gun or offered to get one, sell one, or even talked about knowing somebody with one. The incident above is the only time I’ve ever (outside a museum) been confronted with a real machine gun in the wild. They simply are not generally available. Further, if they were I’d have heard about it.
It is too expensive and too much of a hassle for most to even try.
Why go through all that when you can obtain a semi auto version of that same rifle and buy a bump stock or some such device for a fraction of the cost. Yeah, I know that a bump fired ar-15 doesn’t perform as well as a full-auto m4, but it is a fairly close approximation for the cost.
This is just like the gal in colorado who wanted to ban clips and thjought they were used up after passing a few bullets through them...
Violent criminals buy illegal weapons illegally.
Normal, non-violent law-abiding citizens can’t.
Is that what he means? I think the a$$hole has confused criminals and normal people in his faulty liberal mind.
