Idunno. I'm sure you have your reasons (and obviously you're not the only one who does that here). Just seems strange to me.
He just assumes that everyone who disagrees with him is wrong, thus he doesn't need to research anything.

Well, I guess if being right in a debate isn’t important to you, who am I to judge? /shrug
Had I been a different poster (or if I had been feeling particularly mean today) it would have been easy to simply bait you into overcommitting in your initial kneejerk logic then humiliatingly trap you in a debate. I reckon that would not have been fun for you but funny for many. 😛

Firefly's level of not caring is so great he has told you about it several times. That is a deep level of not caring.

That still changes nothing.
Fully auto weapons were already in use before the the Constitution were even written.
More people die by handguns, knives each year.

The legs of a beautiful woman. That's when being kneejerky is appropriate.
Well then, let’s hope your future is filled with beautiful woman legs. Attached to living beautiful women bodies, of course.
But seriously, hope you learned something in that exchange. You’re welcome.

The world's first automatic rifle was the Italian Cei-Rigotti. Introduced in 1900, these 6.5mm Carcano or 7.65×53mm gas-operated, selective-fire, carbines attracted considerable attention at the time.

If yoyu are referring to the Puckle Gun tho....
The Puckle gun (also known as the Defence gun) was a primitive crew-served, manually-operated flintlock revolver patented in 1718 by James Puckle (1667–1724) a British inventor, lawyer and writer. It was one of the earliest weapons to be referred to as a "machine gun", being called such in a 1722 shipping manifest, though its operation does not match the modern use of the term. However, the Puckle gun was never used during any combat operation or war. Production was highly limited and may have been as few as two guns.

In other words, the Puckle Gun is no more a machinegun as we know them today as any single or double action revolver of modern times.
