Default RE: Rifles in bad hands

I might take some flack for this but I think that semi auto's should be banned for hunting. If you can't kill them in one or two shots the next 3 won't help 9 times out of 10 you're just shooting into thin air
For all practical purposes, you can fire aimed shots almost as fast with a pump action. Ban those too? The law is 5 shots before you have to reload. I think that is reasonable. If you think banning semi't would somehow make it safer I think you are fooling yourself. Accidents are nearly always the result of irresponsible people behind the gun and not the gun itself. IMO an idiot with a muzzle loader is more dangerous than a responsible person with a semi.
