I don't care and it has nothing to do with my original stance.
I'm just now curious as to why you guys are so adverse to assigning an average fire rate number to a specific type of gun.
Everyone would know it is just an "average"....that experts would have a higher rate. that novices would have a lower rate, that there may be a small variance form gun to gun within the same type.......blah, blah, blah
Because we dont do that with anything. How much something does of something is not used to define it.
A jet is a jet, not because it goes faster than a prop plane, but because "jet" describes how it goes fast with its engine.
A power tool doesnt mean it spins X faster than a human hand can turn, it means it's a tool that uses some type of outside power source.
A mechanical pencil says there is some type of mechanism that goes into the functioning of the pencil.
Sail boat, jet ski, pitching machine the names tell you something about how it functions, not how much it actually does.
Semiautomatic, means that every time you pull the trigger the gun should fire. Vs automatic where one trigger pull fires the until out of ammo, or automatically. Burst fire will multiple shots with one trigger pull. Lever gun, revolver, muzzleloader, breachloader, pump action. All of it tells you how the gun works.
It's how we do most industrialized things, describe how it works.
The fact that you cant grasp this shows how UNreasonable and UNrational you are. You rely on your ignorance to justify your stance. Despite many on here telling you again and again. The fact that you HAVENT learned some of the most basic aspects of the FACTS (not just what you want it to be, the facts) raises the question of how can you even raise a specter of a reasonable reform you claim to want.
