You didn't really think I was going to discuss a sweeping generalization as if it might have been factual, did you?
Until recently gaining access to a 6.5 grendel in the AR-15 platform, I exclusively used AR-10's for hunting, chambered in .243 or .308 for short range & 6.5 Creedmoor for long range. For kids and smaller females like 'moi', an adjustable stock is a great thing & when wearing a bulky jacket starting out & shedding clothes the 'length of pull changes'. Also, having the gas tube or piston driven dissipation of energy in these semi-autos helps with managing the recoil (I mentioned elsewhere that I don't do 12 gauges), lol. With a light setup they are still inherently on the heavy side but unless it's a 10mi. hike up & in - I like to use them. I can also break them down to spread the load around on my day pack, if not hunting while trekking (bolt carrier group BCG is heavy!).
The fact that some dont immediately recognize the satire is proof positive about how stupid gun grabbers are on guns. Most of us could actually see one of them saying exactly what OP said.
Am I just believing that Tog6 is being serious while this is a facetious thread, can't tell anymore, it's too late... Y'all be slaking here if he's being serious, didn't mention it first off, cus I knew someone would have pointed out the obvious question... What the F does "Fully Semi-Automatic" mean. Is this a Oxymoron inside joke & I'm just not getting the vibe of the thread, Crikey - got to get some shut eye, lol.
I'm not at all sure one or more of them have not said exactly that - the anti-gun left has never been shy about putting its ignorance on display.
Some GCA with a national audience mentioned "fully semiautomatic" in an interview with the media. It's been an oft reported meme so finding the original may be harder than it should.
There’s ignorance and then there is the deliberate distortions that have been promulgated as propaganda to persuade, and to provide for the talking points used by the ignorant. Language use is a pretty good indicator of competency, political allegence, and of those properly indoctrinated. The lexicon ‘fully semi auto’ is both an indicator and an on-going joke among those advocating gun rights and having firearms knowledge, but make no mistake, it’s use by GCA leader advocates is deliberate because it capitalizes on firearms ingnorance, fully intending on invoking the image of a full auto, of an AR 16, 10, M4, AK47, or similar variant that looks like the common semi auto designs in common use by civilians and that are nearly always portrayed by Hollywood U as fully auto, and dispatching every bad guy in sight in a second. It’s not just the full auto association that is intended, but the repeated use of ‘semi auto’ in the lexicon is clever and intended to associate and confuse the words ‘semi auto’ with full auto to both normalize the image of full auto with semi auto in the minds of the ignorant, but as a gateway for the justification for restrictions/bans on all semi autos in conformance to the incremental anti gun plan, Shields, adopted from the Brits, and envisioned for the US. 2A advocates often see the terms and lexicons adopted by the left as products of ignorance, but generally do not see that the underlying strategy is any thing but born from ignorance. As I have posted previously, the subtle shift in the definitions of such lexicons and words as ‘common sense’, ‘reasonable’, ‘assault rifle’, ‘assault weapon’, ‘fully semi auto’, ‘semi auto’, large magazines, and many more is something that would have been familiar to Goebles... control language, control the images associated people associate with the lexicons and ultimately control the culture because any culture is carried in it’s language. One only has to expand observation beyond the gun issue to see how the left’s use and change of language is one of their primary tools for achieving their goals; look at lexicons such as ANTIFA, used by what is essentially a group using facist methods, ‘moral immigration, ‘wealth inequality’ (a funny one considering manny of the left’s leaders are wealthy’, ‘hate language’, ‘white privelage’, ’white supremist’ (now being applied to any conservative) and similar shifts in meaning and definitions and then see how attitudes are shifting on both the Constitution and socialism on the left. These changes in language and meaning are not accidental, they are part of a deliberate strategy for both increasing conformity to the Left’s ideology and to the increase of power among it’s lead advocates. The defense lies in understanding the strategy and, I would say education, but much of the education community has been co-opted as a means of indoctrination. Issues related to the 2A are but a small part of the bigger picture.
A lot of people don’t want to think, they’d prefer others to provide the answers and they will follow, particularly, they will follow any majority of voices they hear, regardless of content.
And most if not all of the Democrats in the California state legislature believed the reconquista socialist that the rifle was able to fire 3,600 rounds per minute.
