941.27 Machine guns. (1) DEFINITION. In ss. 941.25 and
941.26, “machine gun” means any of the following:
(a) Any weapon that shoots, is designed to shoot or can be
readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without
manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.
(b) The frame or receiver of any weapon described under par.
(a) or any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or
combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting
a weapon into a weapon described under par. (a).
(c) Any combination of parts from which a weapon described
under par. (a) can be assembled if those parts are in the possession
or under the control of a person.
He is wrong and should be corrected. A machine gun is meant for multiple shots to be fired with only one pull of the trigger. A Semi-auto is not a machine gun and it is some of that ignorance, bias, or whatever that clouds what our semiautos really are and makes our ownership even tougher. I'm tired of people/media calling my semi's machine guns for scare purposes.
