SE Cupp doesn't know what "rapid-fire" or Military grade weapons" means

28. Thank you...

Well, maybe it's more like weapons from 1970 rather than 1870?

Because, really, when I was growing up we were familiar with people having a handgun for protection, and, if hunters, a regular old rifle.

It took time to reload. The ability to kill so effortlessly over a matter of minutes wasn't possible.

I remember in the 80's people started buying Uzi's. To me, a lay person, that's a machine gun.

Rapid fire.

The fact that gun manufacturers have made it so this terminology issue is a hurdle doesn't surprise me. Nor is it surprising that they've essentially turned all guns into weapons of mass destruction.

I don't know enough to have a detailed conversation about weapons. Nor do I really care to, to be honest.

I respect the right of someone to have a handgun for protection (there are many abused women in this category).

I respect the right of someone to have a rifle to hunt, even though in my perfect world hunting wouldn't exist (I said perfect world...not gonna happen, I know).

But the weapons we see purchased so easily at gun shows are in a different league altogether.

I don't care what they're called. The average citizen doesn't need them, even if they have gotten accustomed to such new toys.

And the lax nature of private citizens and their weapons needs to be addressed in general. More responsibility should go along with owning such potentially dangerous things, similar to regulations on owning a vehicle.

That's my opinion.
