President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Please, tell us more about automatic weapons.

 

Oh. Is there some reporting to confirm he used an automatic weapon?

 

There were reports yesterday he had bump stocks on two of his rifles. Those convert semi-auto AR-style rifles to a de facto full auto.

 

Yes.
Gunman’s Vantage Point and Preparations Opened the Way for Mass Slaughter

 

A technicality, perhaps, but that article is not definitive re: his use of automatic weapons.

 

Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said just last week that health care, like food and shelter (!) were "limited resources" that could not be treated as a right.

 

This isn't complicated. Rights cannot place an obligation on others to act.

 

Guess what: a semi-automatic weapon converted to automatic gunfire is an automatic weapon.

 

The question was asked if there had been any reporting that it was automatic weapons. I answered the question. Yes there has been reporting that it was automatic weapons.

 

The cops at the scene, who may know something about weaponry, and may have some experience in this area, used the words automatic weapons about 100 times in the live dialogue.
The Las Vegas Massacre: Shots, Chaos and a Frantic Search for a Gunman

 

@Riptide makes a reasonable point ... I'll concede here.

 

This is the dumbest @YankeeFan goose chase in the history of the board. Anyone with any sense could listen to the shooting for 10 seconds, hear the number of shots in that time, and understand that the guy was using either a full automatic or a doctored semi. If he doesn't want to concede that point for whatever Russian bot reason, that's his weird, soul-damaging choice.
