Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

More cowardly and uneducated rhetoric from a federally indoctrinated shill.

You don't accidentally do anything. An accident is an event or series of events that result in an occurrence that could have been prevented. The word accident is only used to make the uneducated, thoughtless and reckless people fell better.
He was stupid and deserved what happened to him.

Accidental or negligent discharges injuring people vs total number of guns = an infinitesimal small per centage - something akin to .000001% or less.
There are recognized and accepted figures on the numbers of defensive uses of guns per year - numbering in the millions.
Criminals do not obey laws - restricting them on paper does nothing to benefit/protect us.
There is a cure for ignorance but not for stupidity.

though, i'm probably giving the blogger more credit than is due; an automatic pistol can be in reference to a handgun that is not a revolver.

Isn't a double action revolver just as "automatic" as an semi-automatic? Seems to me in order to be a manual pistol it would have to be single shot or single action....

She has the need to understand herself and feel good about who she is.
You see she must come to terms with the fact she is an automatic (feed), a semi-automatic (one squeeze/one shot) and is manually (not automatically) operated. Adding to the confusion for her is the fact that she is single action but dual purpose.
Think I'll take her to the range (good therapy) - she always feels better after a shot or two (hundred). If she behaves, I'll even take it out to eat.
Bottom line - automatic or semi-auto works for me in private conversation. Publicly it is a semi-automatic pistol, not a full auto capable gun.

As a concerned citizen, I'm afraid I have to question your qualifications to even owna gun.
Obviously, if her condition has descended into such a confusion, you have not been a good custodian. Things have gotten too far out of hand; and should never have gotten even half this far.
I'm afraid I'll have to demand you turn her over to someone like me who can provide the care and nurturingnecessary torebuild her confidence.

Further, we have an established history of taking in foundlings such as her and allowing them to become productive members of our community.
She is well housed, feed and cared for and she is sincerely appreciated. Her health and well being is of paramount importance to us. All we really ask of her is that she gives her best shot.
What does bother me is that some will hear of her or see her picture (she is young but quite mature) and immediate try to gain control and take possession of this little darling for their own personal pleasure. I have a word for such people but will refrain from using it here. I would not recommend attempting to make further such contacts.
