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 |
| These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. — Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776). |
