> [@Chimera](#): > > A revolver is a semi-automatic weapon in that it fires one round each time the trigger is pulled. Grin. Not exactly, although sorta. (I grew up with single-action revolvers, which didn’t.) “Automatic” (semi-automatic) pistols position the next round in the chamber, ready to fire. (I know that you really knew this and were having fun with definitions.) By the way, a friend of mine showed me a way to hang an Uzi by the shoulder strap, so it’s hanging loose and free, such that each shot fired pushes the weapon back, by recoil, against your trigger finger, producing the rough equivalent of “fully automatic” fire. You only actually “pull” the trigger once. Then there’s the gimmicked rifle on the old TV series “The Rifleman.” He didn’t have to “pull” the trigger at all! ---

I agree with the OP, we need to ban all religions and forcibly convert people to atheists who wouldn’t do shit like this. ---

Well, then you get Commie terrorism and such . . . for which one is actually tempted to feel nostalgic at this point, at least the Symbionese Liberation Army had some entertainment value . . . ---

> [@octopus](#): > > Even the term “Muslim name” is weasel like. No it isn’t. That’s about all we know about this guy, other than he declared allegiance to ISIS (an ideology) and bought an assault rifle with no trouble whatsoever. > [@](#): > > If this shooter would have been inspired by some far right nutty ideology there would be no hesitation to comment. There would be no hesitation to condemn the ideology that led to the shooting. Like when Timothy McVeigh blew up a building inspired by some far right nutty ideology and we all insisted on labeling it an act of radical Christian terrorism? Oh right, that never happened. Maybe you’ll have better luck with another counterfactual. > [@](#): > > But since it’s a non US dominant religion and thus “oppressed” the focus is on weapons that millions own peacefully, mental health, and other tangential issues. There’s a pretty simple answer. Ideologies with terrible ideas deserve condemnation, as does ISIS. Nobody’s hesitating to condemn ISIS. Your issue is apparently that you have a burning need to associate an entire religion of 1 billion people with terrorism. I couldn’t guess why, but it’s generally associated with demonizing others, feeling superior, freedom to discriminate, and starting stupid wars. ---
