        Makes sense, we're going to war with ourselves. Im sure our founding fathers didn't think we would have semi auto war guns for the masses.

        Firearm (reloading) action determine rate-of-fire. Seems eliminate semi-auto and auto still satisfy 2nd Amendment and provide gun for sport.

        What are you fighting for? Your second amendment? To bear arms? So tired of this argument. 273 mass shootings in the U.S...THIS YEAR ALONE.

        The fact that your first reaction is to say, "Guns are fine in America." is sad. There's a REASON the U.S. ranks #1 in mass shootings...

        founding fathers intended for us to have the same firearms the govt has access to. However, Automatic weapons should only be legal in war

        There are 1.5 million active military members with a gun! And 350 to 450 million legal firearms in the homes of civilians! We will not bow!!
