There have been 78 instances of criminals firing fully automatic weapons in Minneapolis so far this year, according to ShotSpotter data.
A fully automatic weapon is one which fires more than a single bullet per press of the trigger. They are also known as “machine guns,” have been tightly regulated since 1934 and banned since 1986. Today, collectors are allowed to own machine guns produced before 1986, but high price tags and exceedingly strict regulations make them next to impossible for the average person to acquire. Fully automatic rifles in poor condition cost about $20,000 — higher-quality rifles routinely sell for over $50,000.
The amount of fully automatic gunfire in the streets of Minneapolis is shockingly high given America’s tight control of these weapons.
Since the outset of this year, the Minneapolis Public Health and Safety Committee reports that 935 rounds have been fired as part of fully automatic strings based on data collected by the city’s ShotSpotter. If even one of these bullets were to find its mark, it would represent a substantial change to American gun crime statistics.

Cool, because this will make the eventual movie more fun to watch.
What does that tell you about gun control?
You mean to say that criminals don’t follow laws and more gun control is NOT the answer?
Well...
I’m shocked! Shocked I say....
Biden restarting Fast And Furious in Minneapolis to impose gun control?
State of the Art bang-bang...
Particularly if there are multiple people shooting semi-automatic weapons as a group. I doubt the time of flight software running in the shot spotter system can distinguish between two Glocks being fired from the windows of a car unless the car is very close to the microphones.
Ahhh, the cultural enrichment.
Well if the Somalis can get/convert full auto, the Afghanis will be right behind them. Question is who wins the race for the first RPGs and s.vests, belts?
I laugh when I think of Kurtwood Smith who played one of the bad guys in 'Robocop' also played the father, "Red Forman", on 'That 70s Show'.
It won’t be long before Omar finds Nuclear Weapons for her followers in Minneapolis.
She’ll get them from the Biden Cartel via Afghanistan.
Exactly as intended.
Could be the gangbangers have discovered forced reset triggers.
How do you do that? How does that sound different from say, a stolen full auto weapon, or one smuggled into the country by the cartels?
My point is that there have been many reported incidents of full auto fire.
I have heard recordings of submachine gun fire. Whether they involve auto sear converted weapons or not really isn’t the issue.
Authorities are reporting the recovery of semi auto weapons that have been converted using auto sears.
That may well be true, if you're referring to setting up a production line for military-type weapons. For an individual putting together a single firearm for personal use, a single-shot smoothbore (for low pressure shotgun or handgun ammunition) is probably the "easiest sort of firearm to construct," using commonly available plumbing supplies...
;^)
I don't know how likely it would be, but the data could also possibly include "bump firing" with non-automatic weapons, which would likely be indistinguishable to the acoustic sensors. Obviously, either activity (assembling and firing an illegal automatic weapon, or "bump firing" a self-loading firearm) would probably be illegal in an urban environment...
;^)
Again.
Police have recovered semiautomatic weapons in Minneapolis that have been modified with autosears making them fully automatic.
