Not only that Runner, his wife has had a condition put on her Firearms Licence that she cannot store her firearms at any place where her husband lives or has access to.

He has effectively been declared a criminal without charge or trial.

As Xavier Herbert said "Poor feller my country"!!

o sung wu,

Think of it in terms of letting an M60, set on Repetition, bounce on your finger during test firing into a pit.
Fires simulated bursts.

Hi there A.J.PHILLIPS...

You're quite correct when you define a semi-automatic weapon, as opposed to a fully automatic weapon.

A semi-automatic fires one round, on each application of the trigger.

Whereas a fully automatic weapon, will discharge up to and including a fully charged (loaded) magazine, by just one application of the trigger.

You asked what is the difference between a rapid fire weapon and a fully automatic, and does the latter fire even faster? Generally speaking a fully auto. weapon will have a 'regular' rate of fire, called the 'cyclic rate' of fire. The weapon that I'm most familiar with is; the M60 GPMG firing the 7.62 Nato. It has a 'cyclic rate' of fire of about 600 rounds per minute (RPM). All of which sounds impressive, but the gunner must ensure he doesn't over heat the barrel (a 'cook off') which necessitates a change of barrel. The last thing one wants when engaged in a full 'contact' with enemy forces.

The term 'rapid fire' is more of a colloquial term, rather then anything that might appear in some military nomenclature reference.

Our very own Aussie 'Owen Mk1' in 9mm SMG proved itself most effective in jungle operations, in WWll, with a cyclic rate of fire of; 700 RPM. And the odd little American submachine gun, the favourite among the gangsters, was the 'Ingram' mod.10, firing a .45ACP ctg. with a cyclic rate of fire of an amazing 1150 RPM! 'Systemic jamming', should've been it's middle name.

I wouldn't know factually A.J.P; but I suspect given the 'range'; the number of 'casualties'; arising from the Las Vegas massacre, sub-machine guns were NOT EMPLOYED at that time. I hope this helps with your understanding, between, 'semi-auto as opposed to full auto.' a little better for you.

*Please Note...*
I've not viewed ANY News clippings; watched any TV footage; nor read any newspaper account(s) of the recent events in LV Nevada. I've seen enough carnage when I was in the military and the police, to last me forever! Should you consider me a coward, so be it, you're probably right.

According to Fox News and CNN - since 1982 mass shootings
in the United States have been committed by white men -
often labelled "lone wolves" or "psychologically impaired".

As one commentator pointed out - mass shootings in the US
are a violent epidemic that has been met with passivity for
far too long. We're told that if mass shootings were
perpetrated by brown bodies, this would quickly be reframed
and reformed as an immigration issue. If thousands died at
the hands of black men it would be used to excuse police
brutality, minimise the "Black Lives Matter" movement and
exacerbate the "raging black man" stereotype. If mass shooters
identified as Muslim it would quickly become terrorism and
catalyze defense and security expenditures.

But we're told this is a white man's problem and an over
affinity for guns among white men, dangerous against any other
backdrop, gets defended as patriotism or even as white pride.

In a 2014 poll conducted by Fox News, seven out of ten
Republicans believed that gun ownership was patriotic. This
culture dressed up as Uncle Sam has embedded itself into the
American psyche and any other path, lets say foreign born
terror that led to the destruction of life on this level would
be attacked as violently opposed to American values.

But because this culture is embraced by the race and party
that controls the government it continues to be celebrated in the
spirit of love of country.

And that is very difficult to change.

' We're told that if mass shootings were
perpetrated by brown bodies, this would quickly be reframed
and reformed as an immigration issue. '

considering the vast majority (over 80%) of blacks are murdered by blacks your narrative again holds no substance Foxy. Just can't help yourself.

Hi there IS MISE & PHILIP S...

Thank you both for appraising me of this particular instance of ballistic interference. I'm now realising just how old and forgetful I've become. Nor can I bring myself to view ANY of the photo's, the news clippings, and anything else connected with this human slaughter. I've (like you too, IS MISE) seen enough death, blood, together with human carnage and utter butchery, to last me well beyond this life - As such, I simply can't handle it any more. Thank you both for your help in this tragic matter.
