Arrogance demonstrates all sorts of limited knowledge. You have an opinion, as do I. Opinions are like assholes...everybody's got one.

Limited firearms knowledge didn't allow me to be a Marine Corps rifle expert. Limited firearms knowledge didn't allow me to shoot 100%, 10 for 10, in the silhouette from 500 yards through a peep sight. Limited firearms knowledge didn't allow me to be recruited for USMC Scout Sniper School. Limited knowledge did not cause me to say...yeah, well, thanks, but no thanks.

When the bad guys ask me why I want revolver possession outlawed, my answer is...because it's a dangerous auto-loading firearm...good for nuthin' but put a man six feet in a hole.

PS - auto-loading has nothing to do with how fast empty brass comes out of the gun and everything to do with how fast a new round goes in to the firing chamber position.

Auto-loading is about both ejecting spent brass and chambering a new round, either by harnessing the energy of recoil or utilizing gas pressure from burning propellant. One would think that a person with your purported firearms experience would know this as and also know that a revolver, a pump shotgun or even a double-barreled shotgun are not considered autoloading firearms by anyone with knowledge of firearms, even if they can shoot multiple rounds quickly (virtually all guns but single-shots can do so). The first revolver predated the first autoloading pistol by nearly 60 years.

You're conflating/confusing the difference between a repeating firearm (anything with a magazine or rotating cylinder) and an auto-loading firearm (one that ejects spent brass and loads a new cartridge subsequent to the discharge of a cartridge). While all auto-loading firearms are repeating firearms, not all repeating firearms are auto-loading firearms.

IMO the only meaningful gun characteristics meaningful to the debate (as opposed to social issues such as age and mental health) are rate of fire, magazine capacity and whether the magazine is removable. All other gun characteristics are irrelevant.

Bullshit semantics.

You have an opinion and I have an opinion. So go ahead and blubber your opinion for a third fucking time. I have better things to do with my life than bickering with you over semantics. But you go on ahead if that's what gets you off.

We believe you when you say none of these things happened.

You don't sound like a "mental health professional" either.
