Well, there's a difference between a fully automatic rifle or machine gun and a semi automatic rifle that can be shot pretty fast, Now, you may not care about the difference or be able to see or hear the difference or be able understand the difference or may not be open minded enough to want to learn and find out the difference them which is fine and seems to be the norm for most so-called liberal's.
Yet a simple device, the bump stock, can make the one into the other. Worse, the bump stock is truly simple … simple enough to craft at home. So yes, a semiautomatic rifle can be a machine gum in waiting. Among many others, the AR-15 certainly qualifies.
Semi-automatics in my view are new guns on the block. They are not pistols, they are not rifles, they are not hunting or sporting guns; they are military weapons. All of them. They can all use a magazine with more than 10 rounds too. And they all should be banned, except for use by a well-regulated armed force.
