Semi-auto means the same as Semi / Auto

No fail, see recent terror attacks, guns are also designed to kill empty beer cans and food, nice fail of your own. Autos kill more people, every day.

CARS MUST GO!

Cars were invented to transport people. Guns were designed to destroy and kill. Beer cans were not invented until the 20th Century.
 
Cars and trucks were designed to transport people... nice FAIL though.

Guns were designed to provide food, protection and sport. Now of course they can be misused just as any number of other things can, but at that point it becomes an issue of holding the individual commiting the crime responsible vice assuming everyone is a potential criminal as other countries do.

You would rather laws that defy common sense?

Guns were developed to survive.

Bad people make people like you piss all over themselves due a lack of understanding that there are bad people who will hurt others regardless of what weapon is available to them.

Should we write a few national and state laws regarding pressure cookers while you continue on with your bed wetting scenarios?

Do you know how many rounds are fired every day that kill no one? 60 million guns in the USA, killed no one yesterday!
Guns were not designed to destroy and kill, jest send a projectile, the end user decides what the projectile does. PS, cars are projectiles, that kill far more than guns. Try to see this issue, without your emotions.

Don't forget cars!
 
I fail to undetstand why one would want an automatic weapon outside the military and police forces. But we do have the 2nd which protects such rights. I am sure most of us our fed up with school children being gunned down, and am unsure what the solution maybe. But infringing on the 2nd must be monitered, at least until the wording is made more clear, which will happen, when is open to discussion. I hate guns, dont want one of my own, but will defend the gun nuts right to own, its gautanteed, for now.
 
right... like semantics. But you want to dodge that particular term. :lol:

The difference between semi-automatic weapons and fully automatic weapons is not semantics. But you already knew that. ;)

Its ironic that the majority of the people who scream the loudest for "common sense" gun laws are the people who don't own a gun, don't know the process of purchasing a firearm, and don't even know what the state and federal laws are regarding obtaining a firearm are, Now how much common sense do you think is actually involved in the demand for more gun laws?

I've said this before, but if you want to take out a lot of people and survive, you don't use guns. Too inefficient, too immediate, too short range.

Again repeating myself, 6 of the 10 highest casualty mass murders did not involve firearms.

why would any rational person hate an "object"?
 
I have those. I don't like them.

Who does?

No. I'd rather laws that have no basis in common sense not be labelled as common sense laws.

Good thing neither of us are talking about laws right now... just common sense that the gun lobby is trying to skew gun death statistics for political purposes.

Modern-like guns were designed in Europe, especially the Spanish, for their army to KILL with.

I didn't realize that discussing terminology equated to me be physically scared... :lol:

A psychologist you are not...

Pressure cookers were designed to cook food... not kill. Guns were designed to kill.

Guns were designed to kill. Cars were designed to transport people. If you see a comparison in that then I can't help you.

No. Arguing that the difference between the two matters when discussing a murder is the issue. Some media person says assault instead of semi-auto and all you hear from the gun nuts is how the left is trying to blah blah blah when the real issue is the murder... not the terminology.

Who said that we need more gun laws? In fact, I am arguing for less.

Luckily, I don't have any of those. Mine are German, Swiss and good old American made. All were made for providing food, protection and sport. The fact that they can kill means I treat them with respect as I do anything else with that potential. Do you see a problem with the fact they can kill? You do understand there is a huge difference between killing and murder don't you?

When you learn your history we can continue the discussion...

This photo was provided to be me by a coworker I was in a gun debate with. He stated that when you hear the news reporting on a shooter using a semi-auto assault weapon, this is what they are referring to! (I added the caption!) I am amazed a the lack of simple firearm knowledge that certain political persuasions have. This only proves my long standing belief that when they say they don't want to remove guns from everyone, they really do!



I wrote a sticky for this forum, for this very reason.... many people don't seem to know the difference.

Not quite sure where you are going with that...but I will ask....Where are you going with that? The fact I have no Spaniard designed firearms an issue?

That guns were created and designed to kill other humans... the Spanish did it first and all of Europe followed.

They did not invent firearms to target shoot or go sport hunting... it was to kill enemy soldiers.

Until a person can accept that as fact then there is no sense debating the rest.

and I am an archery coach. the first bows were designed to allow people to kill animals and other people. BFD. why don't you tell us what exactly your argument is since it appears to be nothing more than baiting

When mass killings and murders start occurring with a bow and arrow then we can talk about it...
 
Guns can kill, just like cars, but that is not the primary purpose, of either.

Dolphins can kill just like guns too... but the benefit is that we can kill the dolphins and eat them as a punishment.
