Second, I have a semi-automatic shotgun that I used for skeet & trap shooting. I doubt any LEO would consider me a major threat for owning it.

More of the information in the post is also challengeable, but all I'm going to do is make that notation.

I will also note that I feel safer in TV knowing that there are so many former LEOs and military who carry all the time.
though not "automatic" the ar 15 rifle used in Orlando Sunday fires rapidly one shot at a time with a 30 bullet attachment. very murderous and should not be for sale to anyone.
