Why does one's right to own semi-automatic weapons outweigh one's right to live?
I just now googled "what are semiautomatic guns used for". I got 21,500,000 results and while I certainly didn't read every result, in the results I did read, the question was not answered.
One of our members, FU, is the most ardent gun rights/gun supporter I've ever encountered. His collection of weapons & ammo would put a gun shop to shame and one of the last times he was here he said he had finally come around, he thought it was time to do something. To read him say that was significant to me because his view had always been the same as the guy who said "take my gun from my cold dead hands" bullshit. I can't recall the proper quote, but I know most of you will know what I'm referring to.
The majority of Americans believe their right to live, work, play and worship outweighs one's right to play with their gun. When a weapon is only used for fun, that's playing.
