    That's what I heard and based on how many round he got off it had to be.

      I've read this to. I'd be very surprised if it was true. It takes a lot of effort and money to get one.

      Edit: there are accessories you can buy that will make semi-autos close to full auto, might be something like that.

        He almost had to have, don't you think?

        That many rounds, that quickly.

        Of course misinformation is the norm with these things early on.

          That's what they said this early AM, and I don't know too many people who could continually repeatedly pull a trigger as fast as the video clips that were being shown on NBC this AM.

            I heard the sound from a video. Whatever was used was on full automatic, be it a machine gun or an automatic rifle.

              And as always... if our government wants us dead, and knows where we are, there's nothing your AR-15 is gonna do to protect you from the drone strike.

              You won't even hear it coming.

                There are clips online of the shooting as it happened. It is very clearly automatic from the audio.

                  I will never understand why this is so difficult for certain people to grasp.

                    Please stop with the bad information. The US swamps Europe in mass murders in addition to general gun deaths. The US has 1/3 of the entire world's mass murders - and that includes lawless countries.

                    - In the United States, people have a greater chance of dying in mass shootings if they're at work or at school. Overseas, these incidents typically happen near military installations.

                    - In more than half the American cases, the shooter had more than one firearm. In global incidents, the shooter typically had only one gun.

                      Assuming you're not looking for it. Not all that different from computer hacks.

                        That is what I was thinking as well. Which begs the question, where did he get it? Fully automatic rifles have been illegal for decades. Someone out there selling illegal guns should be shaking in his or her boots right now.

                          The gun or guns the guy used were almost certainly "automatic." I suspect we'll discover they are semi-automatic weapons, sold legally, but converted to "automatic" status using methods easily discovered in books or on Youtube, or by installing a device on the gun which makes it shoot like an automatic.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            They'll never understand it, because these idiots fantasize about grabbing their AR and their "bug-out bag", smearing on some eye black, and "going Galt" against gubmint overreach.

                              Exactly what I suspect.

                                I'm sure it was a modified semi-auto. Law and Order had a pretty famous episode on that very topic.
