Its a difficult discussion to be had but the status quo isn't working and you have to start somewhere.
You're right the govt. or anyone could ban semi weapons but the trouble with that is, theirs thousands of them out there, maybe hundreds of thousands. Guns don't get old & quit working. There's your problem. As a gun owner I agree, but where I disagree, is if the govt. bans one weapon, that's just a start to start blaming another one, it just opens doors!
