Banning semii-automatics? Really? Good luck convincing the military to return to single action revolvers...

As a matter of fact, they have not convinced me that this resolution would do a speck of good if implemented. Civilians have the right to keep and bear the same arms as the police and the military. Reality is already quite far from this ideal, but eroding it further does no one good.
