As a responsible gun owner, I truly believe that AR 15 and AK 47 type assault weapons have no business being owned by the public. Those type guns are for the military and LE. Period.
What military uses the AR-15 or for that matter, the current AR-10 (not based off the 1950s model but entirely new construction)?
If there is a military that uses a nonselect fire rifle like the -15, then they are treating their troops worse than the US does.
Should not the public have the same as LE? I mean, is not LE civilian like the public? Do they not live in the same lands? Does not the public face the same enemy as LE? Then why does LE get what the public cannot have?

Carnage? I know what happens when a country disarms its public. That's carnage. That kind of carnage will make the current situation seem like a picnic.
So yes, I do care, for I know from history what will happen if one trusts, one allows the government to have all the guns.
Now, one thing I might suggest is re-engineering the trigger, mechanically, so it is one pull of the trigger, one shot positively. That people are not able to bypass the trigger reset.
Mechanically so there is no way it is dependent on a central system somewhere which could be used to disarm the public, as it might be in a smart gun.
Of course, start working with the trigger and there will be those who say that it should not be able to be pulled more than what, ten times a minute? That I don't agree with for I don't think one's opponent should be able to figure his tactics based on the total knowledge of one's gun.

No more than you folks obsess over the dictionary definition of Socialism.
Besides.......what do you think would happen if we didn't demand the correct terminology?
Semi automatics probably account for approximately half of all the 300 million + guns currently owned by American citizens.
Beto is a private citizen, and will nearly certainly remain so. As such, he isn't coming for my.... well.... anything.
Even if he were POTUS, he wouldn't be coming for anything. He'll posture and pontificate, but in the end, he'd be crap_his_pants scared to cross that line, and by that I mean to even support or lend his name to a government confiscation program.
None of them will cross that line because electorally, it is a loser with an almost perfect track record. Nothing matters to these bullies more than being reelected. Period. So they blather about it, but once primaries are over, they tone down the "we will take your rights away" rhetoric and focus on bad mouthing their opponent. If they win and get office, they never go near the gun thing again except the occasional post-tragedy bromides about "doing something" or "having a national conversation."

Beta is full of crap. They all are.
True. Reps to you. I remember all the same pearl-clutching back in '08 when Obama got elected. Oh, no! He's going to take our guns!
What was the result? Nada.
