Machine gun?

That's just a rifle my dude.

Also looks less like a robbery and more like a kidnapping attempt

u/SubstantialPressure3 5d ago

Could be dragging him to a car to force him to take money out at the ATM. That's a thing. Or forcing him to point out his own car so they can steal it, if he has the keys on him.

u/CiforDayZServer 5d ago

Right, it's a thing called kidnapping with the intent to rob.

Not really in the US.

Far more likely he's a dealer and this is a gang related kidnaping

u/macncheesepro24 5d ago

They could also be bounty hunters. They’re not supposed to do this at all but I called the police on some dudes that picked up a guy and obviously had a gun in his side. They had hoods up and walked him to a tinted out Honda Accord. Police called me back later to fill me in. This was a family of bail bondsmen and they were picking up bounties at gun point and (wouldn’t tell me) but doing other illegal things. The guy was fine and their whole business got shut down.

u/duecreditwherecredit 5d ago

Thats kidnapping.... like they said

u/greaper007 5d ago

Considering that the girl immediately hops out with an AK...I'm guessing the guy was a drug dealer that they were trying to rob.

2

u/SubstantialPressure3 5d ago

Nah, drug dealer would be armed before stepping out the door.

2

u/greaper007 4d ago

Not necessarily, carrying a weapon while committing a crime gives all kinds of sentencing enhancements. Many smart drug dealers wouldn't carry a weapon on them, they'd have it nearby but be able to offer plausible deniability if caught by the police.

Wasn't basing it off stereotypes. I had more than one set of neighbors that sold drugs. Not every dealer is a "good one" or even a smart one.

No, he was smart. Getting robbed is part of the game and a survivable event. Carrying a weapon, large amounts of cash and drugs could conceivably enhance a sentence by 5-25 years. Not to mention using the gun and killing someone while committing other crimes could result in life in prison or the death penalty even if it was an event that could be considered self defense in other instances.

Owning an ak makes you a drug dealer. /r/shitredditorssay

u/greaper007 4d ago

Look at this scene, why are two guys trying to kidnap some working class dude in a low income apartment? Are they going to all this work to get the $50 that a dishwasher, grocery store worker or landscaper probably has living paycheck to paycheck has in his bank account? No, they're robbing a drug dealer. Someone having an AK ready to go this quickly kind of confirms that.

1

u/GayRacoon69 5d ago

No one said that. There's a lot of drug related crime in the us. Having a weapon ready to use at a moment's notice indicates that they likely are involved in some illegal business. No one said that owning a gun makes you a drug dealer

u/Candid-Ask77 5d ago

Not at all. I'm in Texas and In one of my homes I have a gun in almost every room ready to go. AR pistol and 9mm in the bedroom. 9mm in the kitchen. Auto shotgun behind the couch in the living room. .22 in the bathroom. Etc. I do nothing illegal, I just want to ensure if I'm targeted that there's a firearm within reach since I'm moderately successful.

2

u/greaper007 4d ago

Illegal or not, that's fucking kooky and paranoid. I lived in Texas for a decade with a dad who was on the road half the week, we never had a gun in the house and never had a problem. Now I've made it to my mid 40s without a gun in the house and I can't think of an instance where I needed one. I live in a country where it's very difficult to have a gun and it just makes things a thousand times better. I don't have to worry about mass shootings, or some nutso neighbor going off.

That’s because there’s hardly any difference besides barrel length when you are talking about semi automatic rifles and semi auto pistols. They need to introduce legislation to require some sort of minor hoops to jump through before buying any semi automatic weapon. (The type of weapon that is usually used in homicides and school shootings)

u/Not_a-Robot_ 5d ago

And “assault weapon” is a useful term for gun control because…?

u/Pleasant_Yak5991 5d ago

Well when you are talking about semi automatic rifles, it is somewhat descriptive. What terminology/paramaters would you use?

Edit: also, “assault weapon” is a scary term, which is also why it’s used.

Of course the media often gets stuff like this wrong, but Rifles can absolutely 100% be "Machine Guns". A fully automatic Ak-47 Rifle is still technically a "Machine Gun". The title would be misleading if she was holding a semi-automatic Type 81 or something similar, but it's hard to tell for sure.

u/ktmrider119z 5d ago

99.999% of "scary looking rifles" owned by civilians are just normal semi automatics

u/tpjwm 5d ago

I see, thanks

12

u/shyraori 5d ago

A machine gun is any gun that fires multiple shots with a single pull of a trigger. A Glock 18 is also a machine gun despite being a pistol.

A rifle is any gun with a rifled barrel and stock.

A pistol is a gun with a rifled barrel and no stock.

This kind of ignorance is why we get this stupid gun laws. Fun fact: registered machine guns have killed two people in the last century, yet the ATF still made it illegal to register new ones in the 1980s. You can still buy them if you’re rich though.

2

u/Carquetta 5d ago

A machine gun specifically has the ability to fire more than one round per single action (or "pull") of the trigger

I guess it's like the 'coin' saying: "All pennies are coins but not all coins are pennies"

All machine guns are technically rifles, but not all rifles are machine guns.

4

u/tpjwm 5d ago

Yes thats what I was thinking which is why I thought it was a strange thing to say. Using the coin analogy, it’s like saying “penny? Thats just a coin”. But it would be better to say “Thats a nickel” if you wanted to disqualify the chance that it’s a penny.

So ig he could’ve said “thats a semi-automatic rifle” but clearly I have already spent too much time on this lol

1

u/FortuneQuarrel 5d ago

Idk why people here are acting like the ATF's definition is the sole authority. That's legal speak. In normal speak, a machine gun is a specific type of firearm meant for putting a lot of rounds down range and is usually belt-fed and always fully automatic, whereas a rifle can be anything from a bolt-action rifle from WW1 to a fully automatic M16.

Your notion that anything with a rifled barrel is a rifle is super outdated. Everything is rifled now, except black powder muskets.

I just don't really see what difference it makes. No one seriously looking to use their gun to hurt anyone is using a bumpstock anyway . They're not very practical for anything other than causal shooting . Pretty much anyone who's ever experienced any combat ever will tell you that semi-auto is way better than full anyway. Full is widely inaccurate and you burn through your magazine way quicker. The bumpstock is a novelty item at best and isn't going to be used by anyone for anything other than having fun .

There's 100 other things we could do for gun laws if that was the goal .

Go ahead and throw me another article of bumpstock violence if you can . Shit if you can find me 3 more I'll retract my statement and declare you king of reddit.

I've never seen someone so quick to tell someone they're confidently wrong, providing a single piece of evidence .

Literally one incident in history of a bump stock being used. And news flash, you can bump fire a gun, without a bump stock

Jesus Christ! He said “no one”. I presented an example of one. It sounds like you’re saying bumps stocks don’t serve a purpose and you can get the same result without one. Cool! Let’s get rid of them then.

On what basis? That's like saying, "Let's ban cars, because you can jus walk to work."

On average, just today, 100 people have died in a car accident in the United States. But you wanna use a single incident to ban a piece of plastic? He's not wrong in one sense. Bump stocks are inherently inaccurate

Accuracy doesn’t matter when you’re firing into a crowd.

That, we can agree on. Which would fall under circumstances and not of the equipment.

Friendly reminder that bump stocks fire at a different rate than the observed fire rate on the mass shooting video.

Interesting. How fast can someone fire with a bump stock? There are other instructional videos on YouTube that show a similar fire rate.

Tops out around 600rpm because of mechanical limits in the buffer tube. You'd have to perform modifications that are incompatible with a bump stock to accomplish this. The bump stock operates largely on recoil impulse and anything that changes the rof changes that impulse.

That rate of fire matches an M249 SAW though. Maybe an M4, since you don't rely on recoil impulse to reset the trigger. Honestly if the police reported an illegal lightning link in those rifles, it would track. But bump fire and forced reset devices will slow down the rate of fire below what was observed.

What does that mean? No clue, other than I am suspicious of the official story.

My favorite theory is that it was a hit on a Saudi prince gone bad and covered up. Not because it absolves anybody of anything, but because it sounds like exactly the kind of cover up a wealthy person and the FBI could manage compared to the absolutely insane ones I usually see.

Ah, fuck. I’m sorry. When I asked for more info I didn’t know you were one of those. As you were!

Hey maybe she decided to get out the 35k full auto AR-15? (AK? hard to tell) just to stunt these poors. Ignore the fact that they live in an apartment complex. Maybe she decided a 35K full auto M-16 was more worth it than a house

u/MayOrMayNotBePie 5d ago

Yeah but machine gun sounds way scarier!
