How does this sentence make any sense? By definition a single shot weapon is incapable of holding more than one round at a time. Is this just another example of an ignorant journalist confusing single action with single shot?
Big words confuse tiny reporter brain.
The problem with too many folks who want to be reporters is they’re glorified English majors who don’t know how to parse and report the details any more.
I’ve called up a reporter who referred to an SKS as a Chinese made AK-47 knock-off and the response I received was “well that’s what the NOPD said it was”. No desire to actually learn the details or understand the error. Just write that paper... get to the next story... and see if they can get invited to a cool party for the weekend.
Some autos cannot be sold in CA, due to various regulations. No logical reasons, but safety is cited.
So some autos are ‘converted’ to single shot, and then sold in CA. State DOJ agrees with the process. Then the owner can modify his single shot into an auto.
For example, Model 1911s, designed as originally by John Browning cannot be sold in CA because of no loaded chamber indicator.
Remember, you are dealing with idiots. facts and the truth don’t necessarily make any difference.
