Eric, As fast as you can pull the trigger combined with magazine capacity to enable sustained shooting without some delay to reload. OK, so how do we ban this stuff? Semi-automatic technology is so good these days that you can easily pull the trigger several times a second and get a frighteningly high rate of fire. It's almost as easy as playing a video game at Dave & Busters. Banning high-capacity magazines seems like a start, but it's also absurdly easy to just make your own, it seems to me. I've often thought about the possibility that someone could invent a handheld WMD that anyone could just carry in one's pocket. Then what? What's to stop a lunatic from taking said handheld WMD, walking into a crowd, and going KABOOM? This kind of stuff cannot be uninvented. Tenchusatsu
