But that's not going to happen, because they don't know squat about firearms. You're dealing with people who don't understand the difference in meaning of the word "automatic" when used in the terms automatic pistol and automatic rifle.

They don't shoot, they don't understand shooting, they have no practical experience to help them understand the point you are trying to make.

Oh, Milltycoon says he's a shooter, and I have no reason to doubt him. But the rest are just afraid of weapons, because we all fear what we do not understand, and Hollywood has filled their heads with crazy bullshit on the subject.
