In reply to the discussion: SE Cupp doesn't know what "rapid-fire" or Military grade weapons" means [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)Today on MSNBC Sippy Cupp played dumb regarding the definition of the term "rapid fire".
"Its just such a confusing term ... how in the world can we ever come to know what it means??" Gasp Gasp. Throw up hands and shrug.
What we need to do is quantify the terms so little Sippy's head doesn't explode from all the confusion.
What is range and the effective kill distance of a weapon?
At what rate can it kill at a specific distance (how many human targets could it drop)?
What is the damage caused by a particular piece of ammo, fired from a specific weapon, at a specific range?
And so on...
Take quantifiable elements like these and you can construct a model in which weapons and ammo are classified, and then regulated.
You can have any weapon you want, but as the weapon and the ammo's lethality increase, you need to demonstrate greater levels of proficiency with that weapon.
Sippy can't play dumb and pretend that no definitions exist, and the hoops required are tough enough that those with mental issues will find it harder to maneuver through the system and obtain weapons with the higher levels of lethality.
