Clearly, if you can pull the trigger over and over, and multiple bullets come out, it's an automatic weapon, right?

Ummm... this guy thinks so, because it fits his narrative that all guns short of muzzleloaders are bad.

    " It should be noted that fully automatic firearms are highly regulated in the United States and very hard to acquire."

    Which is entirely unConstitutional.

    Revolvers also fit his automatic definition.
    The thing to get from this is:
    They don't care what you call it; they don't care what it does; they don't have to understand the law; they don't care about your safety; you can't protect yourself and your family because you can't be trusted and they don't have to prove anything. You are guilty. You are a paranoid neanderthal. They are superior.

    He might also accept single shot bolt action rifles. One pull, one shot. Manual reload. Apparently he thinks a hunting rifle is the acme of civilian possession, if he even allows that. After all, such a rifle can kill from a distance and I guess he would rather it be up close and personal. Say within arm's length. Nope, that's too close for some of the characters of which I know. Besides, who"s to say they would be staying within the law themselves?? Hm-m-m?
