CLAIM: During Friday’s airing of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) claimed an AR-15 rifle is an “automatic weapon.”
VERDICT: False. AR-15s are semiautomatic firearms.
Grisham made her comments during a discussion of the May 16, 2023, Farmington, New Mexico, shooting that left three people dead.
CNN identified the Farmington gunman as an 18-year-old male and noted his family had worried about his mental health. He used three different guns in the attack and was ultimately killed by police.

If I were in the audience, I would call her a stupid jerk who is dumber than a rock. I would ask her how many “dumb pills” she took before breakfast.

Make sure before you do that you have your bail-bondsman on speed dial!
Most firearms are never used as weapons.

Wonder what the stats are on that? Probably one in a million or more!
Thanks for sharing that info!
This is the same New Mexico that has welcome signs that say ‘we kill babies’ at their border.

Naw, is that true? If it is, I’ll never set foot in that State again!
The AR-15 is an assault rifle. Isn’t that what AR means?
Absolute insanity
She is not stupid. She is evil.
The idiot Dem Gov still probably meant to imply full-auto, but "automatic" covers the self-loading function.
Ahh..Libtard RATs.... they think they’re so much smarter and better than anyone else, but the reality is: they’re utter morons that are dumber than a box of rocks (no insult intended to the rocks). They’re vile, corrupt, filthy, godless creatures that even make Gollum look like a saint. They live a miserable life and want to the power and control over every single aspect of human existance to make the rest of us to be as miserable, godless, stupid and filthy as they are.
They can ALL go ESAD.
“The first automatic weapon for the military didn’t come in till 1917.”
When did the Colt 1911 enter service?
However,we only fired the semi automatic M-14.

Spring and early summer of 69 for basic. Don’t remember the unit designation,but I do remember 2 large hills called Misery and Agony.
I was in the Army 4.5 years, Army Guard another 10 years, and at the end I switched to Air Guard.
In prep for deployment I “had to” qualify with an M16. No, that wasn’t a typo. An M16. No forward assist and chromed bolt carrier.
The Chair Force does stuff weird. All weapons are in a central arms room. Sounds dumb to my former army self.
When you go to the range, you are handed a weapon that is not assigned to you so the zero is shyte. When the zoomie armorer handed me the M16 I looked at him and said “No way! You’ve gotta be kidding me!” He looked at me with his stupid soy boy face and said “What do you mean?” I told him “This is an M16” “Yeah”, “No really an M16” “Yeah I know”
I told him “You don’t understand”
So I qualified Expert as usual. My reward for top score was a mag dump with this vintage M16 that obviously didn’t get the retarded 3 round burst trigger pack during one of it’s rebuilds.
The AF security forces weapons guy hands me a 30rd mag and starts telling me how to shoot full auto.
I dump the mag and get all 30 rounds on target. AF guy has amaze face.
We go back to the classroom/armory to clean weapons. I brought my own cleaning kit. Done in 15 minutes. AF guy sees my cleaning kit and says, “Wow dude, were you special forces in the Army?” “Nope” I say “I was a payroll clerk”.
No lie. I’m the only guy on the internet that admits to being a 73-C30 Finance clerk.
Well, NM elected her.
“The idiot Dem Gov still probably meant to imply full-auto...”
Agreed.
Couldn’t pick an AR-15 out of a line up even with name tags on them
In lots of news reports I constantly heard the words “He used three firearms one of them an AR-15 style rifle!” over and over again. No mention of the other firearms. Then I found this...Well, it looks like the info I was going to link has been removed. The other firearms were a .22 pistol and a 9 MM. He ditched the AR and continued to blaze away with the others.
In my state (the Soviet of Washington) the “people” after some very rich folks financed it, passed an initiative that legally defined any semi-automatic rifle as an “Assault Weapon.” Yes, that Remington Nylon 66 in 22 LR rimfire with a tube magazine is an Assault Weapon!
I know that “Assault Weapons” are considered fully automatic weapons from a technical standpoint. So for gun control advocates to confuse any semi-automatic rifle, no matter its caliber, characteristics as an Assault Weapon and as a fully automatic weapon is not much of a leap.
It is impossible to argue with someone who makes up words and definitions and cares little about truth. In such cases, they just don't care and will say anything.
Armalite Rifle.
