When no one can sell semi-autos or handguns nationwide, it will ...


come much closer to working.

I've said on many occasions on this board that "The problem isn't that people have guns, the problem is the guns that people have." We'll never stop one-on-one killing because you don't need any technology to accomplish that. But we can stop the industrial-scale killing that semi-autos facilitate. What is the common denominator of every mass shooting in the US? Semi-autos. Fire off 15 (or more) rounds and be ready to fire off 15 (or more) additional rounds in a couple of seconds. I know. I did it with a Beretta 9 mm on a range while I was in the Navy. I was squeezing the trigger for what seemed like an hour and the clip still wasn't empty. I finally put in the second clip and fired for what seemed like another hour.
