The Model 18. There are a few in the nation that came in before the 1986 ban.

It is STILL ingorance and bias on the part of the media but there is one model of Glock that is full auto.

Yeah, I wasn't aware either that you could get 33 round mags for a Glock. She was right there, but automatic? You wonder if they (media) even understand there is a difference between semi-automatic and automatic. Or do they care?

Oh yah..33 round mags

The 1911 can be fully automatic as well

I doubt this one was fully automatic...just more anti-gun rhetoric from the anti-gun media

This is just a little too close to home.

One of the victims, I believe the 43-year-old male listed as being in serious but stable condition, is from Houston. His first name is Carl. He works as a pilot for the same company as our grand-daughter's father. Just read an email from Marty, asking for prayers for Carl. He was in Florida, attending a training class on one of the airplanes used by the company, a Piaggio.

Update of sorts. The shooter was a 60-year-old unmarried handyman who had no criminal record or known mental illness. He had no connection to Wendy's or any of the victims.
Neighbors described Blake as a quiet man who kept to himself.
