That term "weapon" is, once again, a misnomer. So why one would ever use a term used to describe intent to describe a tool is beyond me.

What is wrong with it? You saying that being able to walk into a store and purchase a semi-automatic rifle without a detailed background check is good? Once that rifle leaves the store the owner can sell it privately and there is no requirement to report the sale or keep records.

Like in Canada? No, I don't see anything wrong with it.
And why just semi-autos? Are four other types of actions not dangerous in a criminals hands as well?
Well, good luck with that one. States are now using their power to overrule unconstitutional laws put forth by federal gov't.

As well as numerous state sheriff dep'ts that say they will not enforce federal gun control.

I am guessing you don't register your motor vehicles?

Yes I do, but, in Canada especially, you may want to dig deeper into who actually owns your vehicle.

"they" don't have any idea where the 300 + firearms (your number) because the gun control in the states is broken.

There was never supposed to be any gun control anyways.

I am aware the NRA is not giving out firearms, although if they could figure out a way to do that I am sure they would

Alright then.

I agree it is not the guns' fault. However, if there was only some way to keep guns out of people's hands......if only....

If its not the guns fault, then why specifically target semi auto rifles? Especially considering they make up but a fraction of the gun crime committed in the US?

BTW, I am a fan of shooting. I enjoy it and I would suggest I have probably put more rounds down range via more firearms than a large number of society. I want gun contol because I have seen first that damage a bullet does to the human body.

And I DONT want gun control because I have seen first hand what a bullet does to the human body.
