To talk "machine guns," that is? (What did you think I was referring to?)
I ask because when some of us criticized people on the "pro gun" side who made public statements dissing machine guns, others in the "moderate" camp counseled us that it's a losing argument--people aren't ready to hear about it--it will scare them. It's dumb to even bring it up.
Never mind that some of us were not bringing it up, but were responding to one of theirs unnecessarily doing so.
So can we talk about machine guns yet? I ask, because the government has just redefined what a machine gun is--any firearm that malfunctions and fires more than one round before jamming.
So how about it--can we talk semiautomatics? Or is it too soon?
