If a weapon fires when you pull the trigger and then reloads the chamber it's semi-automatic, no?

but if it's double action, you pull, it fires. you pull, it fires. so yea, it's semi-automatic by definition. i don't think it's really considered "semi-automatic" however, if you let politicians continue to warp standard terminology, double action revolvers could be next to be defined as "semi-automatic". not that much of a stretch.

You gun enthusiasts love splitting hairs.

ok, the gov bans semi-automatic weapons. would you turn in your revolver now cause it's double action and now "illegal"? and it's not splitting hairs when the gov says they want to ban things that "look" military. in effect, a bolt action rifle is the favorite of snipers so are they now military? it's not that i or anyone wants to split hairs, we just want to keep to same standards that have been around long before you or i got into this world and not have it so vague they can take what they want cause of the "loose" terminology.

A semi-automatic, or self-loading, firearm is a weapon that performs all steps necessary to prepare the weapon to fire again after firing—assuming cartridges remain in the weapon's feed device or magazine. Typically, this includes extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case from the weapon's firing chamber, re-cocking the firing mechanism, and loading a new cartridge into the firing chamber. Although automatic weapons and selective fire firearms do the same tasks, semi-automatic firearms do not automatically fire an additional round until the trigger is released and re-pressed by the person firing the weapon.

How is that impossible? I had two 40 round magazines for it. That's what I meant. It's not impossible at all.

40rd magazines are completely different. With all the uneducated liberals feeding people bad information regarding terms, I see how you could make that mistake. My point is that many people have no idea what they are talking about regarding guns including the tards making the new laws. You just happened to come by and made a similar mistake to the congress women's the other day. Hell, you may have an extensive collection of fantastic weapons and are a marksman for all I know, but your statement was wrong.

I still think you are an decent guy. I have no issue with you.

you also have zero idea about my background, but hey - all gun buffs must be that way, right? when you had your mini-14, did you go tear up theaters? i mean, you must have. you had a "military" style gun...

I've been around guns my whole life and have always called them clips instead of magazines. I used to target shoot on the weekends but I got bored and quit going. It gets repetitive and expensive.

Wouldn't you agree something needs to change?

(And I know it's people that pulled the trigger. Not the guns)
