Oh. A semi-auto rifle. First produced 112 years ago.
If modified with a bump stock, it would be fully automatic.
Its not the specific characteristics of a weapon we need to be concerned about, the values of the user.
That always gets left out in the debate over how to respond to mass shooting incidents.
I was Walmart shortly after they stopped selling AR style rifles. (As an aside, I bought a Colt LE 6920 at Walmart for $1069 during the gun shortage when they were selling for $2500 on the auction sites.) Right there in the display case was a Ruger Mini 14. I actually laughed out loud. I will admit the Mini 14 had a wood stock and not that scary black stuff like the ARs had.
