Who gives a flying rat's patoot about the semantics of "machine gun"

Anyone interested in accuracy and one not using the language of the Left. A battle that is winnable.

Yes there is a great injustice, where is the ground game of which you speak? Has jack been accomplished? Has the Governor of Texas been lobbied? Unless you are choosing to operate outside of what passes for the justice system all your focus has come to naught so far. There is no way this is going to pass without a reckoning and screaming about a lack of due process isn't going to change that. The Waco PD is going to have to present its case, after which those screwed by this action are going to have to press theirs.

Excuse me, dear -- manipulation and misuse of language is how propagandists work, and it is WHY and HOW the vast majority of Americans are oblivious to what happened at Waco and why "jack has been accomplished."

Knee-jerking and implying that anyone who disputes your position is using tactics of the Left, is a waste of time. That you don't recognize the leftist tactic of distracting people and dividing them getting then to argue over whether or not the gun that killed someone was a "machine gun" or high-powered rifle, is AMERICA's PROBLEM, not just your own. I am sad to say.

Why don't you just come out and admit that you'd rather see people here arguing about things that in the big picture, are tiny details, rather than to discuss the big picture?

It's pretty obvious that THAT is where you're at.
