It&#8217;s not that complicated. A double action revolver means the pulling of the trigger cocks the hammer and then releases it. This takes significant force, which lead to the double action revolver, in which cocking the hammer was separated, and pulling the trigger only released the sear (which takes far less force). A semi-automatic is just a double action pistol in which the recoil (after the first shot) cocks the hammer for the next shot.<\/li>\n<li>Hmm, that hits\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twaggies.com\/2012\/08\/funny-illustrated-tweets\/\" target=\"_blank\">a little close to home<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/blogs\/firstthoughts\/2012\/08\/08\/chick-fil-a-and-the-0-1-percent\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chick-fil-A and charity<\/a> &#8230; the largest chunk &#8230; toward a marriage counseling charity.
