DX Ace,

Example of the Anti-Gun Liberal Media {News} Hysteria :
Dave McCracken, Neosho Police Chief is attributed to this
statement : "The gunman had two small-caliber handguns
and one 9 mm semi-automatic machine pistol with a large
magazine," McCracken said.

OMG - It's a Killing Machine ! - 9mm Semi-Automatic
"Machine" {Machine Gun} Pistol with a LARGE Magazine.
* Another Liberal Media Distortion About Guns.

Most members of the Anti-Gun Political Cadre believe
that the use of anything greater then the old Six-Shot
38 Police Revolver is Police Brutality and any 9mm
Semi-Auto with a 10-13 Round Clip is a Weapon of War.

Smith & Wesson M&P Standard 9mm Pistol

That's "M&P" as in Military and Police.

The terms 'Semi-Automatic' and "Machine Pistol" are mutually
exclusive terms.

Actually so are "Machine" and "Pistol."

Semi-Automatic--for those not up to speed, means that one bullet is
fired every time the trigger is released, the cartridge casing is
ejected and a fresh cartridge chambered. In the context of a shoot,
there is no technical difference between the outcome of squeezing the
trigger on a revolver and a semi-auto.

One squeeze, one shot.

Nothing more.

To be a "Machine Gun," a weapon must fire fully automatically AND
must fire rifle cartridges. One squeeze and the weapons empties the
magazine of RIFLE cartridges.

The reason the Thompson Automatic (Eliot Ness's Tommy Gun) was
called a sub-machine gun, is because it fired pistol cartridges.
Specifically .45 ACP.

The only pistol of which I have experience firing a rifle bullet is
a Thompson Center Contender....which is single shot only.

Now, there are automatic pistols. Extremely hard to handle, and
virtually impossible to aim after the first cartridge is fired. But
those are not 'Machine Pistols.' And they are most certainly not
semi-automatic.

There were no "Machine Pistols" in the inventory taken after this
event.

The speaker is using the most inflammatory language to create fear
and motion in favor of an agenda.

It's the most reckless kind of yellow journalism.


The shooting itself is reprehensible enough. It does not require
embroidery.


And, since this is Rec.Radio.Shortwave....where did I learn all of
this? On shortwave radio.

Back when BBC was still a news organization.
