really prefer an automatic," as if what SHE, the individual, wanted and
didn't want was totally beside the point.
I suspect that at that point she really wished she had an automatic . . .
True, but some women prefer the unmistakable message that the sound of a
pump-action sends.
Presumably they do not expect to have to clean up the results . . .
