Lots of semiautos are used for hunting and self defense.
It's incredible such uninformed drivel can be published. The author is living in a fairyland next door to the twilight zone. |

Well, *ahek*, Mr. Martin's got a couple'a problems there.
The (U.S. v. Miller, 1939) Court set the criteria for what arms are "protected" - in common use, have militia utility, could contribute to the common defense or are "any part of the ordinary military equipment."
AR-15s are textbook examples of this description.
"[T]he Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. . . [T]he enenshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008)
And don't give me that 1994 ****. D.C. v. Heller wasn't decided until 2008.
Today's SCOTUS would strike it down in a heartbeat. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
