So which is it?

Good catch.

I'd also suggest that she look up an NYC chapter of Pink Pistols. Not all of her drag queen customers (as she describes them) are willing to be unarmed victims.

As a happily heterosexual Christian married man , I still support Pink Pistols and their mission.

Yes. And, no.

"Automatic" means that the firearm fires more than one shot with each function of the trigger. Turning a crank, no matter how fast the gun fires, still requires the trigger to be operated for every shot fired. The crank is not a trigger.

Gatling guns are not machine guns, and are perfectly legal without NFA registration. Gatling guns that run off of electric motors are machine guns, because the "trigger" is an electric switch, which will fire the gun multiple times so long as the trigger is depressed. But if you're turning a manual crank, it's still firing one shot per function of the trigger.

Great volumes have been written on this subject in the Class III community, and it's all well documented by BATF.

It's funny that after all her disparaging remarks about the status of women in Texas, in the end she changed her views to better fit in with the "girls in the office" in New York.

But it seems she's of the Virginia Tech mentality: it's more important to "feel" safe in "gunless" NYC, than to actually be safer in Texas.

Could be this:



There's another one whose name I forget; it has an extended "trigger" instead of a crank; keep pulling, and it keeps firing bursts.
