And apparently great for killing children and doctors.

For target shooting of course...

Well, yes. A semi-automatic or automatic weapon is better at killing many people in a short period of time. Or hit any target(s) with many bullets as such.
That is an objective fact with evidence.

But is the same with sniper rifles and DMRs for other types of targets. Basically any long range weapon of a man portable kind has a military application, not just semi-automatic or automatic weapons. Even shotguns.

Why would anyone other than military need semi automatic weapons?

I voted yes
Our soldiers do not go into combat with semi auto weapons. They use fully auto weapons with a burst feature that can limit the rounds per trigger pull.

Semi auto is a feature of civilian weapons. Personal protection is a reason to use them.

How many people really think that handles and barrel shrouds are the dangerous parts of a gun?

Making a joke of it, eh.
Do you claim the shooter carried it concealed?
If you oppose concealed carry, you should
consider that open carry has its problems too.
But if you reject the premise of civilians having
the right to own or carry guns, then there's really
no common ground for discussion.

I don't claim anything and you should know by now your tactic is a poor one.

I would prefer no carry.

My tactic?
You asked a straight question.
I gave you a straight answer.
You made one of those specious gotcha jokes playing on people's emotions.
Geeze Louise....& you accuse me of the "h" word.

Killing children is never a joke. What is emotional about that?


The h word came following your anti brit derogatory comment and yet you revel in you British ancestory. I saw it as a great big H.

Except when you want to ignore a reasonable
answer to your own question to me by deflecting
from it with your joke about killing people.

Criminy, I sure triggered something.
Those in glass houses shouldn't
accuse others of hypocrisy.
