One of the obstacles to rational discussion of guns in America is the profound ignorance about guns on the part of many pushing for tighter controls.
Take Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show this morning. Debating the subject with Liberty University Professor Daniel Howell in the context of the Sutherland Springs church massacre, Sharpton decried the availability of automatic and semi-automatic weapons. A bit later, Sharpton suggested that we should outlaw automatic weapons, semi-automatic weapons.

Next step would be to declare all weapons “semi automatic” because they “automatically” fire when triggered. Double action revolvers also fire every time the trigger us pulled - it just takes a little more pressure to get the next round under the hammer....
Joe McCarthy was actually on his way towards doing that. And RINOs too. That’s why they had to destroy the man.
Two recommendations.
First, never surrender your firearms protected by the second amendment to a jack-booted thug unless they have a court order requiring it.

He had one when he was fat? His involvement in the Brawley case said otherwise.
I know, what he’s calling for which he probably doesn’t realize is a ban on all guns with the exception of flintlock muzzleloaders from the 1700s where you have to pack the gunpowder and load the ball for every shot which of course thugs would no doubt modify to make semi-automatic. Nobody ever calls for the ban on the thugs themselves do they. A cop shoots one and we got riots all over the place. Thugs kill 40 over a weekend all you get is crickets.
I vote to outlaw semi-automatic mouth...
Every gun I own is an automatic. I pull the trigger and they automatically go bang.
I think we should outlaw murder; make it illegal to kill people.
Wait a minute ...
Oh heavens! What would they use in Chicago, you racist dipwad!
He’s a Soros-commie-MSM minion. Certainly not a man of God, nor an authentic man. Pity him.
I am wondering how many of those agreeing with that actually know what semi-automatic means. Has there been any studies?
Do it, Al.
Then you’re going to have to deal with the Outlaws.
And you won’t like it at all.
Outlaw racist big- mouthed rabble-mongers, crooks, and abuser clerics FIRST Then we will talk
No semi-autos for you security detail, Biafra Al. See how you like that one! BTW, do you plan to confiscate every semi-auto handgun, revolver & hunting rifle? Only way to make your dream a reality.
Sharpton really is the dimmest bulb in the playground.
Sharpton doesn't need to know what a semi-automatic is - that's not his issue.
Sharpton knows guns create risks for criminals.
He knows a disproportionate section of the black community is criminal.
Sharpton knows innocent armed citizens are a threat to all criminals but a larger threat to the black community. It's why Sharpton is FOR gun control ... and why he's fighting for shorter prison sentences...and more control on police.
It seems to me the black race baiters want to ban all white people’s guns so their bros won’t get shot during home invasions.
Wait till Rev. Al learns the best shooters use bolt guns.
There is no debate on gun control on the left, they are all locked in goose step.
Banning semi-automatics will only leave semi-automatics in the hands of criminals, since, politicians will only go after easy targets, like, law abiding citizens.
