Reply #74: I'm sorry,

but that is one of the most lame "excuses" people use......"Oh, maybe we should ban cars", or "Maybe we should ban kitchen knives", etcetera.....Tell me what the intended purpose of a semi-automatic rifle is....other than to shoot it.

A car's intended use is transportation. The intended use of kitchen knives is the preparation of food.

Now, I am not one who thinks all guns should be completely banned. But very stringent regulations ARE perfectly acceptable.
