Who here would support a ban on Semi-Automatic weapons (Rifles & Handguns).
Me? I own 5 firearms, including a semi-automatic handgun.
I have had a concealed carry permit for over decade.
Would it not be enough to just own Shotguns, Revolvers, and Bolt Action Rifles?
The ability to unload 10-30 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger and then reload immediately with another clip. Repeat. Repeat.... Is only required in a Military conflict. Has no place in a society.
I would like to see someone pull off the type of mass shootings we have grown accustomed to with a 6 shooter revolver, or a bolt action rifle. Do you know how long it takes to reload those things? Obviously there would still be shootings, but the chance of mass casualties would drop significantly.
If you cannot protect yourself and property with either a shotgun, revolver, or bolt action rifle... you suck and wouldn't be able to with a semi-automatic weapon.
I'd gladly handover (buy back program) my semi-automatic handgun. I'll keep my .38 revolver, 12 gauge, and .270 Winchester.
