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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
