Of course I am talking about the smartest woman at DU.

Semi auto, it wasn't an automatic weapon!!!!
Expect to hear that from our gun fans.
It is true. A semi auto will fire a round every time you pull the trigger
A full auto will keep firing as long as you pull the trigger until you run out of ammo
The former is called accurate fire, because you have far more control over your gun
The latter is called suppressive fire. Keeping control with the recoil is all but easy. And it s otherwise known as spray and pray.
So you want to keep your bushmaster, and the rest of the AR -15 family, sure...have them all be single shot. The same goes for the rest of them.

and where did she get this vast knowledge.... well, of course

2. Some of it is from being down range
In shootouts between the Mexican Army and the cartels.
It is a survival skill.
Funny story, line at movie theater at the Last Temptation of Christ. Cops come to do hot stop, and the shotguns come out. I went down, and then proceeded to pull sister and friend behind cover.
Cops later asked how. I told them.

Did someone order mushrooms?

18. DU has an expert on everything.
Sometimes it's the same person.

Of course she is, just ask her. No wait, she volunteers all of it.

and my personal Nadin fan...

39. You are a marvel
Is there nothing you have not done or do not know on this Earth?
Can't wait to see you proclaim to have been an astronaut and lecture us on Astronomy.

5. And apparently it wasn't the rifle at ALL.

The latest reports are that the rifle was found in the murderer's car, and the weapons used were two 9mm handguns (which are indeed semi-automatics). That makes sense, I guess: he was probably not able to conceal the rifle well enough to avoid having someone spot it and call the police before he could get to the classroom he wanted.

ruh-roh. Now what?

Didn't use that rifle that fires 1,000 gazillion rounds a second. Used handguns that fire but once every pull of the trigger, that he couldn't legally own.

Okay, you get bonus points for that.

You would think she that knows all would know better.
Looks like at least one other caught this as well...

29. RIFLE. it is spelled RIFLE.. if you want to pretend to be an expert on firearms stop typing "riffle"
for crying out loud, seeing you type "riffle" over and over...

Das nadin is the best! I think she invented cheese.

[Artois]

I'm impressed, she sounds very credible. Much like the reporter earlier today explaining that assault rifles are like handguns bug bigger and with bigger bullets, truly a resident firearms expert.

[LukeEDay]

How that ugly bald headed dwarf knows how to tie her shoes, let a lone anything about fire arms is beyond me. She is so flipping stupid that she can't even write a complete sentence without screwing it up.

Well, the Sturmweber '44 (assault rife) is the grand daddy to the Bushmaster and other riffles derived from the M-16, and the dad to the AK-47.

Nads doesn't know the difference between an assault hamburger grill and an assault weapon....
