GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

I understand your argument and think it has merit.

What do you think about the implementation of strong and consistent gun control in all states, as an alternative to banning all semi-automatics? Not far enough?

I mean, the ease with which individuals can legally acquire arms (semi-automatics or any other arms) and the number of unassociated people packing them flies in the face of "well regulated militia", IMO.

Strong and consistent gun control/access to purchasing firearms across all states would be a start. If we aren't willing to ban semi-automatic weapons, at minimum acquiring one should involve a significantly more rigorous process than any that currently exist to obtain a hand gun.

First it was the fully automatic, now its the semi-automatic, next it will be handguns then rifles then shotguns then black powder.
Semi automatics are not fully auto they work by every time you pull the trigger a bullet comes out. people have no clue and are gun shy. Its city training that does that and media hysteria that perpetuates it.

Firstest, I really hate the slippery slope argument. I imagine most folks do NOT support banning all firearms (I don't support that). However, I imagine the number of people that would support a ban on semi-automatic weapons is much, much higher.

Secondest, you can slippery slope the argument in the other direction which is just as ludicrous. Where does it stop? Are we all entitled to own RPG's or weaponry that is always equivalent to LE and/or our military? I think NOT, Mr. Powder Head.
