I have a semi-automatic rifle.

It's a .22.
Pretty innocuous looking.
It has a 10 round magazine.
For me, it's just about convenience.
I don't have to stop to re-load between shots.
At least not till I've fired 10 times.

If semi-automatics were recalled, I would gladly exchange it for a single shot, bolt action .22.
My life wouldn't change.
That's it.

1. Kick for common sense!

2. I have a bolt action rifle and I would give it up if the rest of our country loses firearms

3. I have a water pistol, a small dog and a crowbar under my bed.

The only things that worry me are my healthcare costs, Climate Change and of course the midterms.

4. What do you use it for?

Target shooting?

Hunting things that you then eat, like rabbits?

6. Don't know about the OPer

but it only now occurred to me that the .22 rifle I use for squirrel hunting (yes, I eat tree rats that I kill) is a semi-automatic. It only just now occurred to me because I've never shot more than one round at a time. It's not that I'm a particularly good shot and always kill the squirrel with the first shot. The problem is that if you miss a squirrel, it won't stick around for you to shoot again.

It would be OK with me if the semiautomatic .22 was suddenly illegal. I have a single shot shotgun- as in I have to break the breach and reload every time I shot. It's less sporting (it's hard to miss a squirrel with a shotgun) but I'd be OK.

5. What about the zombie apocalypse?

When that happens, you won't have time to reload.
