Your own single shot or bolt action 30.06 can do just as much as if not more damage in the wrong hands. Distance and accuracy come into play also, not just pulling the trigger quickly. shotguns can do it and even your hoyt could do it..
I pretty well lost all respect for you at this point, sorry.. You should really take a closer look at what your saying cuz your off base.
Banning semi autos would just be one more step in banning all of them. they can all do damage in the wrong hands..
do you think for one minute that if they take semi autos away from law abiding citizens and hunters that the criminals will just walk their unregistered guns right on in and turn them over.. Ya right.. The ones breaking the law will be the only ones left with them. Full Auto is already against the law.. ok fine, I can see that and I don't argue it.. But semi autos?? Give me a break..

early in,
I have to disagree with you. A restriction of semi-automatic rifles would be a first step toward much more restrictive gun legislation. It is true that some Semi-automatic's can be made automatic relatively easily but that is against the law. It seems to reason that if a person is willing to break the law buy altering their firearm then they would be willing to break the law and find a way to get an automatic on the black market. Something that is not that hard to do either.
I have a Marlin Model 60 .22 rifle. It is a tube fed semi-automatic. Should that be illegal also? What about handguns that are semi-automatic?
I respect your opinion but I still have to respectfully disagree.
Like I said, I fully expect many to disagree with my thinking. You agree how easy it is to turn a semi automatic into an atuto (and it is) and say it's against the law (and it is), but so is killing police officers. But they do it all the time![:@]
