Nitpicking the semantics of machine gun vs automatic pistol shows you have no real point.

Wrong hill to die on buddy.

NFA Title II: “Machine Gun: Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.”

Any weapon that fires more than one round per trigger pull is classified as a machine gun under Title II of the National Firearms act. Due to that level of specificity, it has allowed clever people to come up with all sorts of devices to assist your finger pulling the trigger.

Any gun that can fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull is a machine gun, by definition

Standard connotation for a gun that fires multiple bullets with a single trigger pull is ‘machine gun’ for people that aren’t big into guns, no matter the shape of the gun. 

This was a really long-winded way of saying “I don’t like Elon Musk and I don’t want him to be promoted in any way.” Musk is famous, SNL relies on celebrity appearances, therefore they decided to work with him. It doesn’t really go much deeper than that. Musk isn’t an actor and has no charisma so I’m sure the show…

Wow, who woulda thought telecoms would cheat the system?

Getting caught up in the ‘oh that’s nice’ detracts from the ‘holy shit, thanks for the reminder that we live in one of the most evil states in the history of human existence’

It absolutely fucking shameful how we fail to care for our own people.

This country relies on the big-hearted nature of the citizenry to make up for the greedy fucking assholes that have bought our government.
Yes, this story is wonderful and indicative of the inherent good in so many sub-cultures. Yes, this story is also an absolute indictment of the country’s complete lack of anything…

“This isn’t a heartwarming tale, this is a damning indictment”

Yep. This isn’t a heartwarming tale, this is a damning indictment of our healthcare system and the effects of weak labor protections.

All of this because he lives in a country where the cost of healthcare would kill him otherwise. This is all great and warm and fuzzy, but let’s not forget that this would not be necessary in a country with a working healthcare system for its citizens. 

Yes, and I think people who might be mixed on Tesla and Musk (the only position that makes sense) but feel the need to bait either camp to be a special category of annoying. 

Personally, I find the Stans and blind haters equally annoying.

I’m neither a fan nor critic of Musk. His cars don’t appeal to me, and I’m nowhere near rich enough to go into space. He’s just another rich guy, to me. However, what I don’t understand is the constant attacks of his anti-union mentality or “awful labor practices”, because they typically come from people who own at…

Musk is an interesting person, even though he does not align perfectly with the trendiest leftist views. Sure, he is reportedly difficult to work with, but unlike his peers, he is doing really interesting things with his fortune.
