Of course by "automatic" you mean full-auto. :quirky

YAKIMA HAS GANGS!? Holy Shnikies! They are in the middle of nowhere!

The Yakima Valley I have heard has the second highest gang membership per capita in the country, but that's not from a reliable source.
Last week, at the pretty much weekly town gang forums, the police estimated there is between 300 and 1000 active gang members in Sunnyside (where I live,) and that's not counting the associates and dropouts. Sunnyside only has 13,000 people.
What's scary about the middle of nowhere is the lack of police presence. That's why I started carrying in the first place. I used to live in Seattle, and was secure with just my hands and maybe a box cutter (which I used at work of course) but since I moved here I carry two sidearms and if I go walking anywhere I night I wear kevlar.

Channel 9 did a thing on gang violence in the Valley. If you remember the anti-gang law that was passed last year- it started in Sunnyside. The police chief in this video claims that it worked (I beg to differ) because for a couple weeks after passing the Sunnyside law shootings dropped from three a week to zero a week. They're now back to three or so. Look up "Sunnyside" in Googlenews, and there's always something about gang violence.

From one of the articles on the "raging gunfight":

Sergio Salinas said doctors told him the bullet broke his brother's jaw, traveled down his spine and may have lodged near his kidney.

Holy crap!!!!! Now that's some penetration, if it's true!

Why is it always the "accidental" gun shots that seem to do the circus tricks in the body?!

My father was shot at point blank range and the bullet bounced through several organs off several ribs before lodging in his back. When we were kids he used to let us feel the lump. He actually died on the operating table but the doctors brought him back much to our disappointment.

Wow, what caliber was that and what kind of bullet?

I'm not sure...I know he had a .308 and a 30.06 and yes he was shot with one of his own rifles point blank. He deserved it.

You're right... the media since the 1930's has called mags "clips" and has indoctrinated the general populous into calling them "clips", meaning most folk are just ignorant of the difference.

Frankly I could care less if ...

It's couldn't care less.

Let's take this argument in an entirely new direction...

Actually, if your intent is to be facetious, then "...could care less" is appropriate.

Honestly, common incorrect usage does not make something correct. With that philosophy I might as well shoot my handgun sideways. Or get a C-96 Mauser pistol which actually is clip fed.

(softly) Muhahahahaha.

While his boat gently rocks in the night, we are quietly changing the language.

Shhhhh. We must never let him know that we, the people of the world, created the languages and are free to change the words however we feel like, and even create new ones or abandon old ones. Even the lexicographers (dictionary makers) admit they just report the way the words are used, as compared to making updefinitions. This is why dictionaries are compiled as compared to, say, authored.

If he wants to fuss about being "correct,"he may return to theOld French quivre, (quiver).

In the meantime we can all start talking smack to him.*

Muhahahahahaha.

*smack (n.2)
"single-masted sailboat," 1611, probably from Du. or Low Ger. smak "sailboat," from smakken "to fling, dash" (see smack (v.2)), perhaps so-called from the sound made by its sails. Fr. semaque, Sp. zumaca, It. semacca probably are Gmc. borrowings.

I'm sorry. That statement doesn't jibe.

It would properly be called a sloepen, from Middle Dutch. "to glide."

Muhahahahahaha.

We're everywhere, and we've been at it for years. Even when you think you know the proper word, we had already changed itcenturies ago.

Muhahahahahaha.
