What a load of runny fecal matter this article is....

Hey, if it's good enough for Goodenow, it's good enough for me.

I was unaware that there is a type of semi-auto that can fire belted ammunition. Of course, this has to be a fact because it wound up in print by our extremely honest press.

I don’t know if that’s a lie... The reporter has probably never used anything more mechanically complicated than a dishwasher, and doesn’t know how that works either. But breathless and stupid... Now that’s how to sell ink!!!

"A dedicated bad guy is probably always going to be able to get a gun, but why do we have to make it easier for them?” he asked.

This is the typical liberal approach to the problem. Why should we make it easier for the criminal. How about the law abiding citizen with constitutional rights. Every think about that person? These people annoy me considerably.

What the hell. 75 a min? This guy is on some serious lib acid. Last time I looked my semi auto shot one at a time.. They are so full of s___ their eyes are turning brown.

Hmmm, I wonder if an M1 Carbine counts?

fire up to 75 bullets at a time

I'd like to see a photo of a weapon that fires that many rounds simultaneously.
It must have 75 barrels and weigh about 500 pounds.

Just last night I saw a picture of a Saiga 12 guage with a belt of ammo...

but, yes, you are right. The left INTENTIONALLY conflates “self loading” with “machine gun”.

It appears that this Goodenow fellow has a colored history.

Typical liberal approach to a problem:
“someone craps their pants and we all have to wear diapers”

[Still Thinking]

But York said it's no longer rare for officers to hear shots from semiautomatic rifles ring out in the city

That was one of my favorites. You know, that special sound a semi-auto makes. The bullets know, you know, what kind of gun they've been fired from and what kind of noise to make.

Nobody seizes my constitutionally guaranteed protections.

I will only release the expendable components to those who would try to take away my rights.....well aimed and with finality.

I give you the semi-auto Browning 1919 belt fed:

Wasn’t Paul Helmke the former mayor of Ft. Wayne?
Curious.

[crazydad]

Opps my bad not 75 a min but 75 at a time... Well that makes this writer look more like an idiot then before..

[ßuddaßudd]

The Police have similar weapons...▲

[SJSAMPLE]

Never mind.

Ouch. My shoulder hurts. Even machine guns fire them one at a time, just very, very quickly.
