SenorBeef: Bullshit. Or rather, “I wouldn’t characterize things in that particular manner.” I’ll give an example: > [@18 Dead In First European High School Shooting - What About The Gun Control Argument?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/18-dead-in-first-european-high-school-shooting-what-about-the-gun-control-argument/105809/101): > > Interesting table.

Surely, you’re not just listing off a name of a ‘scary’ gun without knowing what it is, right? Ok right, this occurred years ago (12!). But check out the wikipedia link: [TEC-9 - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9) Yes, it’s a handgun that can be [retrofitted](http://www.keepshooting.com/full-auto-kg-99-tec-9-conversion.html) into a machine gun, as casual viewers of _Miami Vice_ and readers of the newspaper are aware of. But it sure doesn’t _look_ like a typical handgun does it **SenorBeef**? And most revolvers can’t be easily converted into automatics to my knowledge. Note that 2 gunnuts responded to my rather detailed post (you can click the link) with basically a technical irrelevancy (you can click their links too). Right and OMG! I mis-spelled it too! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/9-year-old-girl-accidentally-kills-gun-range-instructor-with-uzi-ro/696660)._
