    I think what you mean to say is “I’m sorry, my first comment is hilariously structurally ambiguous”.

    “AR is not XXX. That means full auto.” By which you meant “XXX means full auto”. Unfortunately, written as two sentences that’s not how it reads.

    You might be better at guns than written English it turns out.

      Lol I think you mean “sorry I misread.” Imagine being that bad at context and blaming the writing. Sure I could’ve been more explicit but most people can handle a single ambiguous pronoun in a comment chain without writing a whole salty comment about how wrong one clearly contextually incorrect interpretation is. You’re what’s wrong with the liberal gun community.

      I think it was pretty clear.

      The AR-15 is not selective fire. A gun that is selective fire can fire full auto or at least single trigger pull burst.
