The Trump shooter didn't have an automatic AR15. 😃

The whole concept is moot now. Go back and edit all your posts now.

Is this news piece incorrect?

An AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle was recovered by law enforcement at the scene of the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump at his rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday.

The AR-15 rifle, billed as “America’s rifle” by the National Rifle Association, has been commonly used by mass shooters and is one of the most ubiquitous weapons in the United States.

AR-15-style rifles are frequently customized with easy-to-purchase scopes and other accessories that can make even an untrained shooter lethal.

The rifle can be built to fire heavier and lighter rounds, such as .22-caliber and .308-caliber, but most commonly fires a 5.56-millimeter round, and has an effective range of between 500 and 800 yards.

In the hands of a trained shooter, accuracy at that range is difficult but possible, especially if the rifle is supported by bipods or sandbags that can stabilize the sway of its barrel.

Yes it is

Nor is it stated anywhere in that piece that it was an automatic rifle

Do both automatic and semiautomatic still shoot continuous rounds?

No

No.

An AR15 is a semi automatic and fires one shot at a time. One pull of trigger = one shot. It is NOT an 'assault weapon' even though the left wing TV news is calling it that.

An automatic, like an M16 when put on automatic mode, is an assault weapon that shoots rapid fire, many bullets at once with one pull of the trigger.

So Trump's shooter did not continuously shoot however many rounds rather he did in quick succession?

So if the shooter managed to get off multiple rounds quickly, what does it matter if his weapon was semiauto or not?

Yes, that is correct

Because that's the difference between a sporting rifle and an automatic rifle.

I guess I have to spoon feed you my context. What is the difference to an amateur mass shooter whether or not the gun is a semi auto or not?

a reply to: quintessentone

You're not even spoonfeeding context. You're making patently false statements and then trying to wiggle your way around having to admit that your statements are patently false. No one but YOU made the claim that the firearm was automatic. YOU said it. Then you clearly demonstrated that you don't understand what the difference between automatic and semiautomatic is. I have never in my life seen someone talk themselves into a corner so many times and STILL KEEP TALKING.

What the hell difference does it make what the difference is to a mass shooter whether the gun is automatic or not? What even is the purpose of asking that question?

a reply to: quintessentone

The shooter did not have an automatic AR15. 😀✅

This was not a "mass shooter" so your point is moot from the get go.

But either way, if you did one single shred of research before spouting off your nonsensical BS then you would know the difference jsut like everyone else in the world.

Let me retard it all the way down Slingblade:

One trigger pull one shot = semi-automatic

One trigger pull multiple shots = automatic

What are you talking about? Do you even know?
Semiauto and auto are vastly different.
Educate yourself on weapons before you speak.
It'll go better for you.

I did that a while back. Doesn't look like it sank in.

Let me help you...either gun --- eight shots --- both very fast.

now go look up the official story on JFK's shooting. Oswald was able to get of several on target shots with a bolt action. And no, his bolt action was not automatic.
