Project Semicolon

Project Semicolon is a movement started in order to raise awareness as well as support those who suffer from depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, or other mental illnesses by using a semicolon to signify that the person suffering from these disorders could have ended their life, but chose not to.

Amy Bleuel founded Project semicolon with this goal in mind: “Project Semicolon is a global faith-based non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction, and self injury. Project Semicolon exists to encourage. Love and inspire.”

April 16th is the day that is most widely known for someone to show there support for either loved ones they know are suffering, or for those who live with these illnesses every day. The process is simple, just draw a little semicolon on your wrist. More and more, tattoos have been becoming a rising expression for people suffering.

semi auto

Short for "semi-automatic."

1. (adj.) The characteristic, of a firearm, of being able to fire a single round for each pull of the trigger.

2. (n.) A firearm with this characteristic.

Commonly mistaken to mean fully automatic, which indicates a firearm most people would call a "machine gun," with which the user pulls the trigger a single time and holds it and the entire magazine is fired in succession, usually within a few seconds.
My Glock is a semi-auto with a 10-round magazine, so if I want to fire ten shots I have to pull the trigger ten times.
