Now, I want to be sure I put this up front - I' m not talking about taking them off the market, but why anyone would choose to use a semiauto rifle over the other options available to him? Is it the jamming? The poorer accuracy? The only reason I can conceive of (and that I' ve heard ad nauseum), is a faster second shot. I don' t believe that' s true at all, actually. Unless you' re shooting a gun that doesn' t kick at all, I would bet money that I can get an aimed second shot off just as fast with my bolt action.

Obviously, there are going to be people who simply like semiautos for no real reason, and I' m not saying you shouldn' t be able to do it, by all means.. but I honestly can' t see any benefit. I' d get a single-shot rifle before a semiauto - at least they' re a little more accurate than a bolt (theoretically).

Yeah, it' s late, I just want to talk.
