[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 348767, member: 735"] Politicians today don't need facts, just raw emotions. It's possible to buy fully automatic weapons even today. Requires a federal stamp on a "grandfathered" weapon. Going price a decade or 2 ago was in the 10-20k range. Heck you can still buy fully operational tanks and APCs if you have enough $$$. The fire he was putting down range certainly sounded full auto. I think the first, and maybe 2nd bursts might have involved 50-100 round drum mags....was a long string of fire. All that being said. This guy could have killed and injured just as many people with a semi auto rifle, even one with only 10 round mags. Ditto a bolt action rifle. A decent optic combined with any long gun would have been his best utilized tool in this tragedy. Randomly spraying rounds into the masses would generate a high fatality and casualty rate. Optic aided aimed fire at individual targets would likely have led to a higher fatality rate, imo. [/QUOTE]
