What can he do? Make double super illegal to murder. Because all those murderers obey the law

How can the Democrats, who love diversity , push aside a candidate who checks off a few different diversity boxes, and replace her with a heterosexual white male?

Easy. Just give her a triple-strength dose of the real COVID-19 'vaccine' instead of the elite's usual saline solution.

Limited usefulness seems to me.

Their ammunition capacity is generally limited to 5, 6 or 8 rounds but their advantage is simplicity of operation and reliability. Just squeeze the trigger and they go BANG 99.99% of the time. If the hammer falls on a dud cartridge (rare, but possible), you can simply pull the trigger again and the next round in the cylinder should fire.

I think a revolver is a more appropriate self defense weapon for someone who has limited experience with handguns. A loaded revolver is always ready to fire but is less likely to be accidentally fired when compared to some semi-autos. While a revolver has no safety to disengage before it can be fired, the long, somewhat heavy trigger pull requires a deliberate action in order to fire a shot.

Are those the most accurate for target shooting?

Competition target shooters almost always use semi-automatic pistols but a fine revolver can be just as accurate in the hands of an expert shooter.

“I think a revolver ...”

Seems like a revolver would be considered a semi-automatic.

Ban all guns, and the next homicidal rampager will mix chlorine and ammonia together and feed the deadly gas into an air vent of a crowded dance hall. Guns are mild compared to what people can do when they use their imagination. It’s a blessing that nuts always turn to them first, and not to what’s underneath their sink or in their garage. Remember Oklahoma City?

No, semi-automatic specifically refers to a gun that is self-loading: when it’s fired, it ejects the empty cartridge casing and chambers a new round from its magazine. It fires only a single shot when the trigger is pressed.

BTW, a fully-automatic gun will fire repeatedly when the trigger is pressed and held back, until the magazine (or ammunition belt, in the case of an actual machine gun) becomes empty.

Gavin Newsom is one of the reasons we have the second amendment.
