I wasn’t familiar with the pistol, so I looked and yes it’s an automatic (being auto loading).
I hate how they just automatically label this guy as right wing, yet it won’t matter now if they offer an apology now or not because the damage is done.
well they call such pistols “semi-automatic” as opposed to “full automatic” or automatic like a machine gun, pull trigger one time and it shoots until the magazine or clip is empty.
