ALL guns are machines, period. It's a simple fact. ALL guns are "dangerous", period. It's a simple fact. The nomenclature can change, from firearm to gun or from machine gun to automatic to select fire to assault rifle for instance, but the facts remain the same.
ATF played congress in saying that one trigger pull to one shot was the "defined" line. An imaginary line it is demonstrated by the development of slide fire stocks. What is the result? LESS "safety" is produced by "laws" created supposedly in the name of thus so called "safety ".
Who will argue that slide fires are "more safe" than select fires"?
Now, my question in this(in the best Hillary voice I can muster - at this point, what difference does it make?
When a killer uses a gun to kill, what difference does it make if it was semi or select? What difference does it make that he even used a firearm? The POINT to be addressed is THAT he and HE ALONE killed! The "how" and even the "why" are subsidiaries and mostly IRRELEVANT. Those things aren't really germane. So why the focus on those things. Oh yeah, the focus is on THOSE things because the GOAL is to remove focus from the actual germane point - individual PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
Distraction and diversion. That's what loyalists in both media AND law enforcement are reduced to. All in the effort to avoid the one thing that truly matters - personal responsibility for actions taken and choices made.

Anon @ 1048 has described it perfectly. Personal responsibility is the only factor to consider.
