Semi - still fires many more rounds in a minute than single fire, thus risking many more peoples lives in the same amount of time.
Honest question to those who enjoy guns in a responsible manner - why is there a need for semi-automatic weapons in the hands of the general public, aside from using the excuse "it's your right"? Can't get enjoyment from single fire weapons?
The world has changed. Terrorism isn't just tied to ISIS, but it can be a lone wolf's beliefs.
Why do people prefer a manual transmission over an automatic? An iPhone versus a Samsung? Why do people who live in the city own trucks? Why do some prefer a pencil over a pen?
Personal choice, ease, comfort level. That's your answer.

The vast majority of weapons already in circulation are semi automatic in nature.
Even revolvers can be said to be semi auto in that they fire one round per trigger pull.
You going confiscate pretty much every gun in America?
Life should trump guns. Until it does these massacres and needless deathes will continue
Absolutely, so what should we do with places like Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, Atlanta, DC, ....etc. ?
Add up the fatalities of all the mass shootings we've had in the past 5 years and compare that to the list of fatalities in the cities I've listed just this year....
Where do you suggest we start ?
Even if they banned and confiscated all guns in this country that guy still would have been up in the Mandalay Bay with his 23 guns shooting people. The law abiding people would follow the law and turn in their guns. The people with bad intentions would not. So the honest unarmed people turn into sitting ducks!!!
I would immediately put a $1,000 per bullet tax on any gun or rifle used in any mass shooting in the past year. I guess, that is, if you care for innocent lives.
Maybe because you are not a public servant who has thousands of irrational, rabid haters directing their bile and death threats at you on a daily basis.
Maybe I am someone who has a life, and a family to protect?
