"We better come up with a better argument to keep semi-automatic weapons than “they’re not full auto.”"

Umm.., the founding fathers did that. When they wrote the second amendment the intent was not for hunting or even crime prevention, it is to protect the people from government tyranny. They knew that governments are the greatest danger to freedom. Perhaps they were thinking of the British government primarily, but they knew even our government could become currupted.

Then we should be able to have full-autos, as well, correct? Because that’s not really what I’m hearing when we discuss “assault weapons.”

The fact of the matter is that there is not a politician in Washington, R or D, who would not be happy to see every American dis-armed.
