    They love these little semantic games. That’s not a machine gun! Your argument for gun control is invalid!

    But there are all sorts of tools that turn an AR-15 in a fully automatic machine gun.

    Anticipating that bump stocks would be outlawed post-Vegas, Bogard said, he began developing a new device that uses a similar principle. By changing the configuration of the trigger mechanism, the design enables a shooter to harness the recoil and pull the trigger extremely fast. In a sales pitch delivered by Bogard at one gun show recently, he claimed the modification allows him to empty a 30-round magazine in 2.3 seconds.

    These people are all intellectually dishonest at all times.

      There is nothing wrong with being conversant in proper terminology.

      “These people” aren’t the only ones who play semantic games: if you have ever wondered, then been punched in the taint, about what any of the letters in lgbtqia+ mean you will understand how ridiculous people of any ideology get about using the “right words”.
