The man was identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58. Property and court records indicate a long criminal past in North Carolina and that he lived most recently in Hawaii.
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.
Now for the personal interest bit - I would pay real dollars in a pay per view for the comedy that would be her trying to recoil control a mac-10 at like a range or something.
I dunno, her dad is ex military and she’s a helicopter pilot who did competitive helicopter games with the Soviets in the 70s from what I could find. I think she can use it.
Hey, come on, who HASN’T owned a machine gun at this point. :)

Purposely to make a joke. Intent is the important factor in most gun laws.
Oh thank god. I recall constantly being downvoted on reddit for pointing that out.
