63. I'm sure you would. And undoubtedly revolvers, and "riot guns", and "sniper rifles"...

If all semiautos were to magically disappear overnight, the professional gun-control lobby would dust off their "Saturday Night Special" talking points (nobody needs small, low-powered revolvers, ban them); their "Vest Buster" and "Big Boomer" talking points (nobody needs large, high-powered revolvers, ban them); and their "Sniper Rifles" talking points (nobody needs high-powered bolt-actions, ban them). Then there'd be "Combat Shotguns" and "Riot Guns" (nobody needs .729 caliber military-style weapons of mass destruction, ban them), and "Silent Killers" (nobody needs .22LR assassin's weapons, ban them), and "Cop-Killer Bullets" (nobody needs any modern rifle caliber at all, ban them).

I'll pass. We'll keep our Title 1 civilian guns, thanks. All of them.

Some data on which bullets hit the most people was just released today... benEzra Sep 2016 #24

Great. Since hand guns kill 5 times more than rifles do flamin lib Sep 2016 #25

The prohibitionists have certainly tried. benEzra Sep 2016 #26

I just turned your own logic on it's head. flamin lib Sep 2016 #27

Ah yes, the slippery slope. Straw Man Sep 2016 #32

As for ignition systems, the firelock was a significant improvement over the matchlock, Marengo Sep 2016 #33

Thank you. We agree on something. That's a start. benEzra Sep 2016 #35

You are beginning to sound batshit crazy. flamin lib Sep 2016 #36

flamin lib advocates voting away citizen's right to keep and bear arms GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #37

I thought the other guy was a bit off. Now I get you. flamin lib Sep 2016 #38

The Second Amendment to the Constitution does not grant a right GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #39

In that case please stop citing the second amendment and the bill of rights. flamin lib Sep 2016 #41

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a natural right GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #48

Okay. Natural law (or rights) stems from a philosophical tradition and is based on nothing flamin lib Sep 2016 #49

flamin lib makes up their own definition of "natural right" GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #50

Should one decide unilaterally that it's a good idea to ban most or all semi-auto arms... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #51

You are not worth my time. flamin lib Sep 2016 #52

Twenty one minutes to get banned and four post to go on ignore GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #53

"Okay. Natural law (or rights) stems from a philosophical tradition and is based on nothing" beergood Oct 2016 #56

Yep. Just like slavery and the way we have treated (and still do) Native Americans. flamin lib Oct 2016 #58

"I know beer is good but you should clear your head and see the world as it is, not how you want it" beergood Oct 2016 #60

*sigh* Everything you cite here is just more philosophy. flamin lib Oct 2016 #61

Don't you know that good and evil is all in your mind? discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2016 #62

"Well recognized gungeon tactic: can't have a conversation with just one gunner" Nah, not true. DonP Sep 2016 #40

Most Western nations DON'T ban detachable-magazine semiautos... benEzra Sep 2016 #42

Live by your own? flamin lib Sep 2016 #43

That you consider rifle ownership to be comparable to human trafficking and child porn... benEzra Sep 2016 #44

Excuse me but I seem to have missed something. flamin lib Sep 2016 #45

Yes, you have. Straw Man Sep 2016 #47

You have been advocating banning people's rifles all up and down this thread, benEzra Sep 2016 #55

Ya' left out the semi auto pistols. flamin lib Oct 2016 #57

I'm sure you would. And undoubtedly revolvers, and "riot guns", and "sniper rifles"... benEzra Oct 2016 #63
