And your answer did not contribute. I expect the poster you replied to meant semi-automatic, since automatic weapons are not a big problem.

And then you can make it clear that any gun that you can repeatedly pull the trigger and fire is a semi-automatic, just to be pedantic.

The fact is single shot derringers are seldom used in mass shootings.

And gun control does work, as Gov. Newsome pointed out on Truth Social a little while back, the most unregulated states (Red states) also have the most per capita shooting deaths. Or conversely the most regulated states (Blue states) have the lowest per capita gun death rate.
Not in Illinois, a blue state , city of Chicago has the highest murder rate with a gun . Governor Newsome doesn’t know or doesn’t want to admit a blue state has the highest murder rate using a gun .
The bad guys have ruined it for the good guys , turn in your guns now .
