Misrepresenting semi-automatic firearms as machines guns has been a common tactic with the left since at least the early 1990s...the ignorant masses believe it, and clamor for laws to outlaw access to "assault style weapons", thinking that machine guns are easily obtainable by anyone at the corner gunstore.
I also notice that the original disclaimer, "style", isn't even used anymore - we now have "assault weapon" and "assault rifle" as part of the vernacular - completely ignoring the origins and original meaning of the word as referencing selective-fire rifles, thus leaving no distinction between truly full-automatic and semi-automatic firearms.
