I’m still waiting to be informed what a “rapid fire rifle” is. Was it a Ruger 10/22 .22 rimfire? Was it a bolt action 30-06? Was it a lever action 44-40? People working int he news space should want to know. Was the term “Rapid Fire”Rifle” used to make this mugwump seem much more dangerous that he really was?

Please answer……………………..
