Semi-automatics appear to have design problems with their firing rate, relying on nothing more than an itchy trigger finger to act as a governor for limiting the rate of flow of bullets.
Surely, the technology exists to design better governors than this obviously faulty primitive mechanism.
Manufacturers should be sued out of existence, if they are unable to master proper safety technology for manufacturing their consumer products.
If the manufacturers of consumer products are really this technologically incompetent, then they should simply not be allowed to make consumer products.
Gun manufactures should be subject to the same sort of product liability laws and regulations as any other consumer product.
