re: #219 CarleeCork

There is NO reason for an ordinary citizen to own a weapon that can fire SIX fucking bullets per second.

This country has been taken over by crazies!

Uhm, to own a firearm that can actually fire that fast you have to pay between $5,000 & $100,000 for the fully automatic weapon, pay a $200 excise tax, have the approval of your local chief of police and have an ATF form approved by the federal government before you can take possession of that registered fully automatic firearm. That has been the case since 1934.

No semi-automatic that you can buy without going through those steps can fire that fast.

On top of that, I can fire a Lee-Enfield bolt action rifle at the speed of that legal semi-auto though it does only have a 10 round magazine.

Yeah, there are a whole lot of crazies out there but we are not helped by misunderstanding the details of these things. Simply freaking out only helps the NRA & others spread FUD.
