# Back To Basics

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/22/JPPAU5BLXG4OLN2KSS5T2E2Y7E.jpg>)

Gunpundit has an [instructional post](<https://www.gunpundit.com/1509.php/>) on the difference between fully- and semi-automatic firearms. The presenter is a California cop--maybe his law enforcement credentials will give him extra sway with the non-shooting public. I certainly like the fact that he pulls no punches with the press.
