- Hey, come on, who HASN'T owned a machine gun at this point.
  Most of us have.

  I feel like you missed the point of that opinion. A shoestring by itself is not a machine gun. Wearing a shoestring while shooting a semi automatic rifle is not a machine gun.
- Not that it changes anything but, I kind of want to know what gun it is, out of personal interest. Cold war era? There's so many one offs and weird stuff we tried. Is this a click bait way of saying she has an MP5 or MAC 10? I tried googling it and came up empty handed.
  
  Rolling Stone says it's a MAC-10, but that's the only reference I could find.
  Johnson is not a middle-of-the-road politician. She owns a MAC-10 submachine gun — and received an A-rating from the NRA. On the campaign trail, she comes across like a pro-choice Ron DeSantis, vowing to give a voice to “really pissed off” Oregonians who are “terrified of the progressive left,” while blasting “wokeness” as “another form of intolerance.”
  I was honestly shocked there isn't video of her blasting away at something as so many others seem to do any more.
  I was also wondering if it was a Johnson Machine Gun and she was related to the inventor or that it was at least something historical.
Obviously, the crime wasn't owning the gun. It was committing a Wrongthink while owning the gun.
- What are the implications of a... Wrongthink?
  
  Believe it or not, jail.
Just gonna drop this here. https://youtu.be/TY0eUQ06Q2g?si=tvLv3TQlrXVwBGI3
- Omg!!! I needed that.
What is the relevance beyond this dude being way into guns? I mean I think attempted assassination told us that already.
- Because a dude with gun convictions didn't have much an issue getting a new gun
  
  In America? You're joking!
Could it be?
Doesn't everyone in the u.s?
- I don't at the moment. I accidentally left it in the handicapped stall of a Walmart restroom a few weeks ago.
  
  You take off the gun and put it on top of the toilet tank while you take a shit and forget, it happens
