I think you might be confused. Are you aware that semi auto firearms have been around for the last several centuries and there are an uncountable number of semi auto firearms in private and public use, as well as being produced currently?

Hate to be a stickler of sorts but how does the recent shooting in Texas add up to hundreds of thousands of lives saved?

Are you asserting that only rifles are semi automatic? You do realize that handguns are semi automatic too, right? But, even going with that, someone with a semi automatic rifle stopped the shootings.

You were complaining about how Mr. "Soros donates more than the anti gun agenda than the NRA" & failed to provide any data to compare.
