I laugh all the time because that show "America's wildest Police videos" with that idiot "retired Sherriff John Bunnell" that's always calling every stupid gun an "automatic weapon" even when you clearly see its not. It's retards like him that have stupid John Q. public thinking EVERYTHING is automatic machine gun with grenade launcher attached.
all the better for ppls imaginations man, i mean seriously, who wants to visualize a shooting when someone is being shot w/a pellet gun or a .22, ppl want to be able to envision a terminator super gun or some shit blowing someone else away. blame hollywood
