Should semiautomatic weapons be banned?

[Associate Justice PiT]

I enjoy the posts that say semiautomatic weapons should be banned because they see semiautomatic weapons as an alternative.

yeah, you'd think since we've done this with the same freaking people about 25 times now that a few of them would understand some of the most important terms when discussing the topic.  You'd also think they would understand more since they are SOOOOOO passionate about gun control.  Sure, it's only one or two times a year for about 2 weeks, but they are REAL passionate about it for those two weeks.  It's the most important thing in the world...at least until Trump posts on Twitter next or they pick up their uncle's book on EMPs.

     It amazes me how people can be so gung ho about banning something that they really don't understand at all. I like to be knowledgeable about an issue before I start acting as if I have the truth, but that's just me.
