Ask any ten people if a fully automatic weapon is a “machine gun” and see what answer you get.

Of course it is, the select fire weapons the cops used are assault rifles, for once the media could be correct.

Better yet, ask 10 random BATF faggots.

What the gov't clowns call something doesn't make it so. They have a political motive to muddy the waters. Calling them 'machineguns' helps inflame the uniformed.

Distractions through semantics, that's all this is, and troll/dupes use distractions such as these to DIVERT the conversation from the actual topic at hand -- to wit, harsh punishment administered without due process by law enforcement/court system Civil Servants, upon:

-- 177 individuals...
--in a mass arrest at a long-planned, pre-announced public political gathering of an ESTABLISHED 20-plus-year-old nation-wide confederation of peaceful citizens...
-- wherein 117 of those arrested had ZERO criminal histories, yet all were rounded up at gunpoint and incarcerated for two weeks to more than a month with original bonds being set at a million dollars for each and every one of them.

Who gives a flying rat's patoot about the semantics of "machine gun" -- the distractors, that's who. STAY FOCUSED on the ground game -- the mass use of armed force by "civil servants" against law-abiding American patriots they ostensibly "serve," and the subsequent destruction of those law-abiding citizens' reputations, finances, professional and personal lives.
