Uh, it’s actually very hard to get a hold of a machine gun, the grandfathered legal ones cost like $100k.
Is that the America we want?

Blame it on teaching evolution, or video games, or moral decay, just whatever you do don’t blame it on how easy it is for unstable people to get a hold of machine guns.

An AR-15 with a bump stock meets all the technical requirements of a machine gun.

A bump stock arguably makes it full auto, but it doesn’t make it a machinegun.
Arguably the reason this thread is confused is that the word ‘machine gun’ doesn’t refer so much to physical characteristics, but more to a usage: they’re meant for sustained covering fire rather than short bursts.

This guy is a fucking insane Christofacist piece of shit. Seriously, anyone who thinks mythology from the bronze age is a better source than hundreds of years of scientific discovery is deluding themselves. Our country is so fucked.
Side note: Machine guns shoot many bullets with a single trigger pull and have more stringent laws than other guns that require a trigger pull per shot.
