    A. That's not print.

    2. Whoever wrote that tweet got it wrong. The author of the article didn't use that phrase at all and actually wrote a pretty good synopsis of how semis are converted to de facto full autos via bump stocks or crank fire.

    OK.

    Just wasn't sure what you meant.

    I posted that this morning. Michigan and Balbo, where the hotel is, is the intersection I arrive at when I drive downtown. I'd left my job in the city in June, but for five years before that, one Dick Whitman would have been right in the potential firing radius when walking to my train station.

    On the good side, the woman who is down on the ground is helped by a stranger; and a guy five seconds later comes along and helps with her purse.

    Basically any rimless cartridge. Revolvers and bolt action rifles use cartridges with a brass rim which sticks out at the base to hold the cartridge in place once it is slipped into the chamber. Many (but not all) automatic mechanisms do not. For instance the 9mm shells which are common in both pistols and submachine guns are rimless. The mechanics are different, and rimless allows a higher rate of fire in some weapons.

    That said, the tweet was basically wrong. But you asked.

    I know it shouldn't shock me but the amount of stupid morons walking through this like they're at Mall of America is incredible.

    It helps that you actually read the article, not just the tweet. Some folks tend to avoid doing such things.
