That story has all the elements of a contrived "incident" engineered to equate semi-autos with machine guns or to convince people they're easily converted to machine guns.

Look how many times they mentioned the sniper stuff.  Sorry, but this is starting to get transparent.  

Yeah. God forbid they mention the countless thousands of legally owned assault weapons which are responsibly used by law abiding citizens for sporting or recreational uses. It's sad, but Bushmasters will always be known by the ignorant sheeple as the weapon used to kill people by the DC snipers. The way the liberal media portrays these firearms, ignorant folks would just believe only criminals have access to these guns.
