They will have someone's eye out with that if they are not careful.

The amusing definition of machine gun. There's no actual political point.

It's more about how idiotic a bureaucrat can be when asked a question.

http://www.backyardartillery.com/machinegun/Actually, crank type attachments for firearms are legal in most places and don't fall under the ATF's definition of 'machine gun' since they only help you pull the trigger faster and don't send more than one bullet per trigger pull. You can turn your semi auto rifle into a modern 'gattling gun' with an aftermarket trigger attachment and the ATF won't even blink.

Not half as fun as a trebuchet and a cat.

Yeah, but what is as fun as a trebuchet and a cat?

True, but I don't have a cat, and my neighbor might be upset with me if I "appropriate" her cat for such a use.


ETA: WOOHOO!! My first time warp!
