Nathan Moore's Thoughts
The Uneducatable
Say Uncle takes issue with some of the reporting on the SKS found in that California school yesterday. Specifically, the terms used in gun story reporting.
First, yes, some guns look mean, but so do some dogs, and many people. Looks are deceiving. And guns are only mean when provoked.
Second, the difference between “automatic” and “semiautomatic” is easy. Automatic means you pull the trigger and more than one bullet comes out. Semiautomatic means when you pull the trigger, only one bullet comes out. The two terms have nothing to do with the way the gun looks.
And as a side note, that had to be one friggin’ big backpack to hold an SKS. It must have had a collapsable stock, but that’s another term of art for another day’s lesson.

Even with a collapsible stock, it’s have to be a huge backpack.
