Any bets it was not a "machine gun"? But you'll ruin a great headline thinking like that! It's time to renew the Assault Weapon Ban, dontcha know.

It makes my head hurt to think of how many urban idiots don't know the difference between semi and fully automatic fire.
Stories like this make you wonder what percentage of journalists have no experience with firearms. It is probably huge.

It will quickly evolve from a "machine gun" into an "AK-47" and then after the news cycle is spent, way back on page 29 it will be described by an officer as an SKS carbine. That's my 2-cent bet.

Any bets it was not a "machine gun"?LeKisha said it was a machine gun.
Don't you believe her?
She works in the first floor cafeteria afterall.
I'm sure she must be intimately familiar with all types of firearms.

I'll also bet a week's pay that there is no "machine gun" involved here; but the press will lead the gulable American public by the nose--AGAIN, and they will get away with another convenient distortion of the reality.
Too convenient. Less we all forget--although I know that will not be the case--that the "Assault" Weapons Ban is due to sunset. Now, why is it that I cannot refrain from thinking that this was a setup? Call me a cynic, but this "event" smells worse than three-day-old fish left on the counter. This is a made to order situation for the gun grabbers, and its timing cannot be accidental.
Sometimes I wonder if the liberals have made some diabolical deal with the devil himself... How else is the timing of this explained?

Any bets it was not a "machine gun"?No way, you nailed it. The title had me visualizing John Wayne with an air cooled .50 caliber machine gun blazing away. (Also, one shot at a time?)
The gun control nuts will have a field day with this one.
Remember, guns kill people and people have nothing to do with it.</sarcasm off>

Too bad decent hunting rifles are too expensive for people to go on rampages. I'd like to see the Dems propose a ban of all .270s and .30-06
