I just can’t stand it anymore.  The anti-gun crowd along with the media are either brain-dead (which I don’t believe) or deliberately lying to the masses.  These people show fully automatic weapons (machine guns) or talk about guns spraying bullets everywhere, and then in the same sentence mention limiting access to semi-automatic weapons.  These guns are NOT semi-automatic.  Semi-automatic guns fire 1 bullet at a time.  1 BULLET!!!  You can hold the trigger in all day long and it won’t fire another bullet.  You pull the trigger, you get 1 bullet.  If you want to fire another bullet, you have to release the trigger, then pull it again.  The reason it is called semi-automatic is because you don’t have to cock the hammer after every shot.  Fully automatic weapons will continue to fire bullets with a single trigger pull.  These are commonly referred to as machine guns.  These types of guns are already illegal in almost every state.  Most people own semi-automatic weapons.  They are the most commonly used weapons for self-defense.  These are the types of guns the gun-grabbers and main-stream media are trying to eliminate.  In order to get the public behind them, they are lying to people by trying to blur the line between semi-automatic weapons and fully-automatic weapons.  STOP IT!!  If you have to knowingly lie to convince people to support your cause, then maybe your cause is wrong!!
