After the mass shooting in Orlando, people protest for love and solidarity. Donald Trump holds up rainbow signs calling to ban Muslims from traveling to the United States and for gun rights.
The Model 1911 Colt was long called an “automatic” as it auto-loads from a clip. The famous Lugar was considered a “machine pistol” because it auto loaded. A “machine gun” differs in the fact you pull the trigger once, and it keeps firing until you release the trigger. The last ones are strictly regulated, but NOT “illegal” in the US if you pay the taxes and are licensed to possess them.
papasan173, guess you never heard of Galipoli or Normandy among other mass killings with automatic weapons?
BTW at the Bank of America shootout in Los Angeles some years ago, the bad guys did use fully “automatic” weapons. The have been used in civilian criminal acts that can be called "mass shootings.
