Toy guns will have to be licensed in Queensland under new firearms laws

[Heracles 417]

Semi-automatic and automatic are two very different beasts. Also correct me if I am wrong but when you say "all states" I am pretty sure that implies every state.

Where did I actually say "all states"?

Read the next sentence Wilson. You can not be that blind. That is what I have been referring to. Three times I have told you what I am talking about and you keep bringing up the first sentence. I'll bold it for you this time. Like spoon feeding a baby.

I am not blind, but you cannot be that dumb. The next sentence was about the US, not Australia:

"Why would any state ban them here, when you can own automatics."

It was meant to correct Spook's mistake in thinking that "most states" referred to US states.

Moreover, it's a negative statement ("why would ANY state ban them?") which implies that no

(US) state, in fact, has them banned.

Semi-automatic and automatic are two very different beasts.

Our local police spokeswoman was out on the scene of a shooting a few months ago talking about how they'd shot up the place with automatic weapons. "There were almost a dozen rounds fired from three different guns."

A dozen rounds? Three guns?
