Nothing says Christmas quite like an automatic weapon…

Warms your cockles…

BBC news

Socks?

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast’s Nicky Campbell, she added that a firearm “in a Christmas box” makes a “fabulous” gift.

3 unarmed babies – what happens when The Bad Man comes ?

If you really love your family:

that kids got a huuuugggeee right hand.

I don’t see any automatic weapons OP 😕

I’m really quite pleased that we live in a society where most people don’t know about guns in this sort of detail.

Automatic weapon in the hands of the older lady in the middle I think .

Yep the one who looks like the cartoon character who just got hit on the head and her neck disappeared

No that’s a semi automatic.

I’m really quite pleased that we live in a society where most people don’t know about guns in this sort of detail.

That is to say, most people are clueless then. I’ll happily admit I like guns, have shot quite a few different types and they are enormous fun. I don’t own own one and have no immediate plans to. I am interested in America’s societal problem with them though and one of the key aspects of that debate actually comes down to the difference between types of guns.

Well that makes it all just a normal family photo then. I certainly wouldn’t be popping round to visit them and it’s not just the guns…

No that’s a semi automatic

Woohoo, the pedants are back 😀

More seriously it just shows how stupid people can be and she is an elected representative!!!

the older lady in the middle

I thought that was Russell Grant. 😳

“Sagittarius! Mars is creeping into your house this week, which may cause conflict……and since they’ve violated your property illegally and pissed all over your god given constitutional rights you are entitled to blow them away in a red mist of righteous indignation. Yeeeeehaaaa! God Bless ‘Murica!…..”

“America is the last country that allows its citizens to be the last line of defence”

Not really a technically accurate statement. I can think of a few places in the Middle East….

Good trigger finger discipline.

It’s a bit strange that they think this is the most interesting fact about them.

Do any of us do formal family photos with our bikes, captioned:

Steve: SC Bronson
Natalie: Kona Process
North:Frog 55
Chardonnay: Isla Cnoc 16

“America is the last country that allows its citizens to be the last line of defence”

Switzerland.

Baby nearest tree has got the right idea.

Switzerland.

Aren’t they the first line of defence?

Never mind the guns – the typography is unforgivable

They’re the last people that should be let anywhere near a gun. They look like a bunch of redneck hillbilly inbreds.

They look like a bunch of redneck hillbilly inbreds.

That’s probably because they are.

Truly terrifying that anyone can buy and own as many guns and ammo as they like in the US….

The Swiss system bears little resemblance to some rednecks popping down to Walmart for their weapon of choice.

Age 13 I received a gun for Christmas, problem? 😕
I never went on to become a terrorist or kill anyone.

Truly terrifying that anyone can buy and own as many guns and ammo as they like in the US….

Although, to balance this, they have got a countrywide ban on the sale of lawn darts due to the risks of injury associated with their use.

Terrifying and completely untrue.

How stupid do I feel now….. 🙄

You’re quite right though. Before any kind of debate or action can take place to tackle the horrendous gun crimes we see happening so very often, everyone should be made to take a test to ensure that they can correctly identify and place firearms in their respective categories and sub-categories. It’s the only way…. 😆

I suspect they were hoping you would use it on yourself

#trollthetroll

Probably got a bazooka under the Christmas tree!

No that’s a semi automatic.

Out of interest, how can you tell?

(I know very little about guns – but it looks like something I’d expect to be firing full auto in a movie or game)

Terrifying and completely untrue

I’m not aware of any State restricting the number of guns or number of rounds of ammo you can own?

Cool story.
I once received a cookbook, but didn’t go on to become Michel Roux…. 😉

Mainly because machine guns and destructive devices are effectively banned for sale to the public in the U.S so it’s unlikely to start with . Anyway it’s an Extar 556 which is semi auto.

This is actually quite a big part of the debate in the U.S at present. Pro gun control lobby want to ban “assault rifles” because they imagine this

but that’s a machine gun. And already banned. So they’re referring to semi automatic guns that look like machine guns. So they end up alienating the moderate middle ground, gun owners who are pro gun control, and make themselves a laughing stock among the hardcore NRA 2nd amendment types. Imagine a local newspaper running a story about banning mountain bikes and picturing a motox bike.

Out of interest, how can you tell?

You can’t, but you need a special license for a fully automatic weapon (most states ban them completely), so odds are it’s semi.

Anyway it’s an Extar 556 which is semi auto.

Oh like this?

That looks fairly auto to me, but like I say I have no idea.

The lad in the middle looks about the same age as my eldest, No way I’d give that **** a gun, he almost snapped his tablet in half in a tantrum once!

yes, fairly, you have to pull the trigger for each shot so it’s not ‘fully’ auto.

A distinction without a difference, in reality.

GrahamS, you’ll note that he has to pull the trigger once for each shot fired. If he went on a killing spree with, that he’d probably only be able to murder 50 or so people before his finger got really, really tired.

Pro gun control lobby want to ban “assault rifles” because they imagine this – but that’s a machine gun.

No it’s not, it’s a fully automatic assault rifle.

Most are available in various designs, semi and full auto.
