General definition as in “applies in the most contexts” not “includes the largest number of items”.

All weapons are assault weapons if they hurt someone because then that's assault.

Like I know an AK-47 is a machine gun and a 9mm pistol is not a machine gun but I'm not sure where the distinction lies. Can any gun goons chime in

An AK-47 is an assault rifle rather than a machine gun.

It's a case of how many bullets the thing is designed to fire with any degree of accuracy before it overheats. As far as I know.

I've always believed that at least one member of the presidential secret service detail gets taken into a special meeting when a new president is elected and gets tasked with shooting him in case he goes off the rails and tries to launch a nuclear strike.

Cross post from the IoSM thread:

Someone tried to scam me by setting up a profile as someone I already knew (hence why the fb chat messages are edited, they used this person's real name and photo). I caught on pretty much instantly, and I strung them on for quite a while. They even had a second person in on it via text. I'm gonna post the first image here, and then the album link:


Rest of album:

I tried to edit out all the personal info, let me know if I miss something. There's no such person as Lauren, btw. I don't care about my google plus image, it's super old and I never use Google plus any more. I left the scammer's number in on purpose. Oh, and facebook deleted their messages shortly after I outed them, so I had to write them back in.

I typed "is a machine gun" into the search bar to see if by any chance this actually came up in suggestions. (It didn't.) But the 4th suggestion was "is a machine gun jet pack possible." Found this and my mind broke a little.

Also, the guy based the models on the AK47, so for extra :can: there's that.
