Not bias, just ignorance
A reader emails this link. Note the caption to the pic.
Update: Once you click the link, they do note that it is at the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot. So maybe they are automatics.
Update 2: The reader, who said it was ignorance and not bias, writes:
DAMMIT, I THOUGHT I HAD SOMETHING THERE! Hahah … Well what’s that one over on the right? [looks like an M1 carbine to me – ed.]
But wait a second, if those really ARE automatics, then it’s not ignorance, it IS bias—because what the hell does a picture of some guys with automatic rifles have to do with a story about requiring safety locks on HANDGUNS, if not to confuse the issue and make people think of “really scary things?”
So whether they are are auto, or semi-auto, it’s bias or ignorance 🙂

It’s probably an M2-Carbine, the full auto version of the M1. It retails for about $5,000 plus tax.
