Some of these anti-gun idiots don’t even understand that a simple revolver is a semi-automatic weapon that will fire each time the trigger is pulled until it’s empty.

If Illinois passes such laws the entire State will be the hunting ground of outsiders looking for easy pickings.

NOPE! You got it half-right, guy.

Yes, pulling the trigger on a DOUBLE-ACTION revolver revolves the cylinder to advance the next chamber. BUT, the revolver, either single-action or double-action, requires the shooter to extract from the chamber, the spent casings, and to load fresh rounds, either by hand or assitant device.

No, it does NOT ‘eject the spent cartridge and load into the chamber a fresh round’, which is part of the SEMI-AUTOMATIC reloading process of a pistol.

Now, a choice ... a 1911 with either a 7-round or 8-round magazine of .45 ACP cartridges, or an S and W Model 25 in the equivalent caliber?
