A six shooter .. even one from the old west is a semi automatic!

I can see why some morons have no reason to own a firearm.
(Which would include idiots trying to pass stupid laws)

You have Full Auto, selective auto or .. semi auto!

To educate the morons .. one trigger pull, one shot= semi auto!

A 'normal' hand gun is a semi auto hand gun.

The media does their very best to imply that a semi-auto is a machine gun which it is not.

My .22 revolver holds 9 rounds.

Let me guess, you were born out the womb knowing everything there is to know about guns.

There is no reason other than hypocrisy. Semi-autos should be protected.

Both amendments are limited in scope. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is not protected via the 1st amendment, nor is kiddie porn.

All amendments have limits for the good of society.

Trying to apply logic and reason to what the anti gun nuts think is your first problem. It's like dealing with the insane, it makes sense to them just not to anyone else.
