“Nomenclature is key when discussing Second Amendment matters...”
Wrong.
Self-defense is key when discussing Second Amendment matters.
Freedom of the Press is not freedom to lie.
My hope is that President Trump will rein in, if not shut down entirely, the duplicitous media.
You cannot fire a three, four, or any round burst unless the weapon is auto. The AR’s I see are semi auto and thus single shot. Yes, I recall the conversion kits from the various mags and trade pubs.
It will w a bump stock. Check out u tube.
The article is written in ignorance of course.
But what the AR15 CAN do is much more useful to the mass murderer than firing in “bursts”, which is much less useful for this sick purpose. With the semi auto AR15 one can very rapidly aquire, aim at and fire, one or two shots, and on to the next target very quickly. It’s the combination of handiness, low recoil, quick cycling, and enough rounds in the magazine. In a few seconds one can individually engage a dozen to two dozen targets.
Auto fire would be less effective. It would waste ammo, require more effort to control per engaged target. For a given number of rounds in the magazine and a given length of time, one can shoot more people semi auto than full auto. Full auto is meant for use in military situations to suppress the other side (get them to stay behind cover), which isn’t what the mass murderer wants to do. Frankly I don’t see why full auto weapons are banned, they are less deadly.
These people have never even fired a gun or probably even been in the same room with one..............................without cowering in a corner and sucking their thumbs..................
That wasn’t a mistake by the Times. They know perfectly well the AR is semi only.
