Guest Asks CNN Anchor “What Is An Automatic Weapon”; His Response Is Stunning

One of the problems with today’s mainstream media is they often report on things they have no clue about. Especially when it comes to firearms.

Via TheBlaze:

Sensing that the CNN host wasn’t fully informed on the issue, Ferguson then asked Lemon for his definition of an “automatic weapon.”
“For me, an automatic weapon is anything that you can shoot off a number of rounds very quickly. I was able to buy an AR-15 in 20 minutes,” Lemon said.
That’s when Ferguson pounced.
“With all due respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about,” the radio host shot back. “An automatic weapon is when you pull the trigger one time and it continually shoots off one after another, after another.”

But Lemon refused to back down, claiming that he can do exactly that with the AR-15 that he purchased in Colorado and accusing Ferguson of “getting into semantics.” It should be noted that fully automatic firearms are highly regulated in the United States and very hard to acquire.




“Let me finish, Ben. But listen. I think you are getting into semantics. Regardless of what you want to call it, an automatic or a semi-automatic weapon.”“It’s a big deal,” Ferguson interrupted. “It’s the difference between breaking the law and not breaking the law.”

Watch the cringe-inducing segment:



For those who may not know the difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic rifle, let this video show you:



Do you agree media should not report on matters they have not been educated, or briefed on?
