Another major school shooting today ... Newtown, Conn

did u try it
and COMPARE the 2 techniques of acquisition ??

I don't think I should have to!!! That's such an easy inference to make!! A screwdriver can't fire bullets! Let alone fire hundreds in minutes! All you can do is beat someone with a screwdriver, but you can instantly kill someone with a gun. I can't even believe I have to explain this...

Let alone fire hundreds in minutes!

Name me one even military fully auto rifle that can fire hundreds of rounds in a minute and not melt down.

Cycle rates in not the same as real world bullets down range and there are very few situations where going fully auto is a wise things to do.

Take note that the current US military rifle can only fired three rounds bursts.

You are the kind that likely does not even know what end of the rifle bullets come out of yet you are willing to post nonsense.

You're right, I'm not an expert. But instead of searching the Internet (which can provide loads of false information),
I asked an expert.
He said it is possible to fire hundreds of rounds in a minute (depending on the type of gun.)

You're right, there aren't. But not everyone is a wise person.
Maybe the next lunatic to decide to go shoot up a school will have his weapon on full automatic.

How would someone get full-auto out of a semi-auto-only gun?

Incidentally, if someone did manage such a trick, the end result would likely be
a lot fewer people killed due to the shooter running out of ammo.

Perhaps a two thousands pounds gratling gun mounted on a tank or a warplane might do so but even then I question it.

The number of gun deaths in the U.S. since the Newtown elementary school massacre has exceeded the total number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war.

According to a tally of gun deaths from Slate, the number of people killed since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary is now 4,499. The number of U.S. armed forces killed during the Iraq war was 4,409, according to the Defense Department.

The Slate data comes from crowdsourcing and warns that it is “necessarily incomplete.” Authors of the tally call on readers to submit news stories to @GunDeaths.

This comparison of the five months since the tragedy that redefined the debate for further gun control in this country and the nine-year conflict the U.S. has recently ended is now being used by Americans United for Change, a progressive political group. Already, the group has targeted several Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, to support background checks, among other gun-control measures.

Republicans successfully stalled gun-control legislation, arguing that further measures would not prevent gun violence but merely stifle the Second Amendment rights of lawful Americans. But Democratic lawmakers and progressive groups have signaled that they will continue this fight.

Anyone else think that Bloomberg and Obama sent those letters to themselves as part of a desperate bid to try to revive their vile gun control legislation?

There was an interesting feechewer on Newsnight yesterday
concerning the expertise of San Fransisco medical teams dealing with gunshot wounds.
It almost seemed that the gangs were being supplied with guns
in order to provide a large number of guinea pigs for the surgeons to practice on
