Deadly Falsehoods About the Orlando Shooting and Gun Control

As detailed by ABC News, the killer used a “.223 AR-style Sig Sauer MCX semiautomatic rifle and a Glock 17 [9 mm] handgun.” Like the Sig MCX, the Glock 17 is a semi-automatic firearm, which means it fires one bullet for each pull of the trigger.

In stark contrast, the “most common military” firearms, as explained in the book Military Technology, are fully “automatic rifles and machine guns” that fire multiple bullets “with a single pull of the trigger.” A key advantage of these guns is that soldiers don’t need to aim them with pinpoint accuracy to hit the enemy. Instead, they can “point the weapon in the general direction of” their adversaries and mow them down en masse.

So we as citizens and members of the home militia should have a disadvantage when faced with single or multiple threats. What is wrong with select fire weapons? Why is that? So you don't trust us so why should we trust you?

"Instead, they can “point the weapon in the general direction of” their adversaries and mow them down en masse."

That's not how it works. Even with a machine gun, you still have to aim. If you just point in the general direction, you will miss and most likely get killed by aimed return fire.

I shudder to thing of the carnage that would result if a real rifleman started shooting people.
