Stop calling the firearms that people can actually buy "weapons of war" - they are not and it is disingenuous to say so.

Actually, ALL semi-automatics can be EASILY modified to fully automatic. And they are closer to Man-killers or weapons of war than a bolt-action, lever, or pump-action deer hunter.
