Cept for the MG42 and MG34 which are two of my fav machine guns of all time. Those were both Open bolt systems, the famed PPSH and MP40 were as well.
It's also not an automatic weapon.
I wasn't aware inanimate objects without any sort of mind can be evil. :hmm:Kind of whenever the media mentions semi-automatic weapons, there is a frenzy of "eek!! those evil weapons, ban them!!"
Don't people realise that semi-automatic simply means that bullets are loaded automatically into the barrel prior to firing? How is that "evil" lol? So it's different to an 18th/19th century musket in which the shot/ball had to be manually loaded on every shot.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think people beyond the armed forces or police need guns in modern society, but it doesn't make sense to label semi-automatic weapons as "bad" compared to other firearms.
And that is any different than the idea represented by the picture?People are very ignorant over German gun control. Nazis relaxed the restrictions on the non Jews and completely restricted Jews owning any. The Weirmars were the ones that were the "Nazis" on gun ownership.

Semi-auto type firearms existed back in the 18th century. They may not have been as good as what came later, but the concepts existed in real form. The Girandoni Air Rifle, for instance. Could shoot 22 shots before reloading.Don't people realise that semi-automatic simply means that bullets are loaded automatically into the barrel prior to firing? How is that "evil" lol?

That's true. A musket would be considered an "assault weapon" in many states today because those states don't allow bayonet lugs.That assault musket is considerably more deadly, thanks to the bayonet. Shoot, stab, stab, stab!
Neither does Obama. But Obama does want to ban AR-15s, even though the chance of getting killed by one is worse than getting hit by lightning.Statistics can be used any way you want. By your graphic, we should ban handguns, and even I'm not for that.
Doesn't seem to stop the illegal aliens. Maybe putting up "stay away or you might get shot" signs on the U.S. borders would help.My biggest problem is we're at the point right now where other countries are recommending their citizens do not go to the US because you could be murdered. That's something they say about Somalia, not the United States. It's embarrassing and destructive. The gun/violence culture in this country is out of control, but everyone is too afraid to try anything because of fear mongering from both sides of the aisle.
In all fairness, there is a big difference between a MAK-90 and a Colt .45 Government Model. A MAK-90 can accept a 30 round clip (yeah, I said clip) but the Colt only holds 7 or 8 rounds depending on the magazine... er I mean clip. Both are semi-auto only (meaning you pull the trigger once and it fires one bullet). I can empty a 30 round clip in a matter of seconds even though it isn't full auto.
They don't care. A lot of gun banners know they are wrong. They know they twist facts or outright lie to make their case. They know they are wrong, and they don't care.Because people are too stupid to research anything for themselves and therefore accept the shit that the main stream media spoon feeds them.
You can put big mags into 1911s too. There have been 30-rounders made. I think the U.S. government even made one way back in the day. Might even have been a 50-rounder.
