So I was at an indoor range with a fun switch equipped STEN.

right after I mag dumped it and some guy asked me if I was the guy going full semi-auto. I just didn't know what to say. So I said something to the effect of "nothing semi about it, this is a full auto machine gun."

But I could not believe somebody was saying that and not in jest.

Most of the public is ill informed by choice, being informed takes effort and most poeple don't want to spend any effort/time searching out the truth. Pathetic!

We live in a society that is limited to a 144 character mentality... Very sad that the vast majority of people cannot think for themselves any longer.

It's easier for some folks to make a box and stay within. My dad is like that now, but his excuse is 83yrs of life. He does know semi vs full auto tho.

Did he ask how many cucumber clips it takes ?

Dealing with dumb people takes a lot of patience.

I think in the same situation I would have very pointedly clarified with him the nature of the ignorance.

I have watched this with every new gun law they throw up. After they take effect MANY gun owners suddenly "hear about" them. Of course the normal response when they wake up is it's someone else who is at fault for "allowing this". The fact that they could not be bothered to vote, or that they voted for the people who put the laws in? No, that has nothing to do with it.

Is that a ghost gun with a 30 caliber clip that can shoot 30 bullets in 1/2 a second?

 

[CountryGent]

Complete muppetry. Ugh.
