Yes, that's exactly what I was implying....and yeah, I think custom gunsmiths would risk their lives and careers to convert a firearm from semi to auto...and yeah, I forgot that attempting to have any sort of discussion with you about firearms is stupid.
I'm deleting my previous post so that the focus stays on Ted Nugent being a douche.
Erick Cervantes, a student who called 911 during the attack, told KIRO-TV, the shooting only stopped when a teacher, Megan Silberberger, grabbed Fryberg’s arm and he shot himself.
"She heard the gunshots first and she came in running through the door, right next to it.
"It wasn't [a] wrestle. She just grabbed his arm, and it lasted like two seconds, and I heard another shot."

Wow...
Teacher 'prevented massacre' at US high school by confronting teenage gunman
I don't know how much she makes, but I think she deserves a raise.
I ask this seriously, are there people out there who honestly believe that America's extremely high incidence rate of assault with a gun is not due to the large number of guns? Or do these people just think that their right to carry a gun should outweigh the extremely negative consequences of having half your population armed?
I'm not even talking about constitutional rights or anything, just curious about the two statements above.
as am i. two of which raised me.
I do think there is a pretty substantial group of Americans who (a) don't think or care much about how things are in other countries, and (b) if they are presented with this kind of evidence, would generally argue that the US is "just different" from those countries because we have more illegal immigrants or more drugs or more violent video games or more black people or whatever their non-gun scapegoat of choice might be.
It is similar to the people who are in complete denial that other countries do health care or education better and more cost-effectively than America. Those durn commie pinko Euro-socialists CAN'T be doing anything better than 'Murica, so there must be some other explanation, whether or not there is any factual support whatsoever for that other explanation.
I am related to many such people.
