    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.
