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.
Since the turn of the last century! Ha! For 19 years. 19 empty, stagnant, meaningless years we should not even add to our age, they went by so bleeping fast, because nothing happened in them! Nothing worth remembering at all, except maybe Justin Bieber!
You have no business cheating as a hunter by using semi-automatics! Hunting is not a war. Use a rifle, like a real man! ha ha!
Pop pop pop pop pop in less than 2 seconds. Bah! Cheating! Deadly for shooting innocent people.
Sport hunters typically want either a trophy or meat, and for that one accurate, strong shot is adequate. If you are hunting with a dog, then you certainly don't want to put your precious dog at risk of getting shot. Your dog is probably more precious than your gun.
I am willing to say that a hunting license might as well be an effective gun license.
By the way -- I predict that the Harry Potter novels will be better remembered than will Justin Bieber.
