We don’t send our soldiers to the battlefield with semi-automatic rifles and citizens, except for the very few who have Federal permits, don’t have automatic rifles. We do, however, send our soldiers to the battlefield with automatic rifles (bolt action and semi-automatic sniper rifles notwithstanding). Semi-automatic rifles and semi-automatic handguns make up the majority (vast) of weapons that citizens buy. Pretty much every handgun, except for the very few single-action revolvers, are semi-automatic (I’m including double action revolvers).

I just do not buy the Founding Fathers would want a bunch of citizens armed with weapons that are meant for the battlefields and not for home defense, hunting, and legitimate shooting of targets.
