A ban on semi-autos wouldn't make defending yourself from an oppressive government impossible, but it would be much more difficult.
This goes back to the cost in human lives to buy the right to "be ready" for the return of King George III.

... I have never seen a handgun on the street in my life or even a registered pistol for that matter. I think it is funny we even rate a comparison, but feel free...
Gun ownership per capita is a misleading stat - for one thing, the US is a wealthy country with an unusually large proportion of ex-military folks and wealthy rural residents. We have a lot of people who own many guns each, and they skew the averages. We also have a high proportion of people with some discretionary income living by themselves or in couples, which adds another factor to the calculations of "average".Disturbing, to say the least.

if you need a gun to defend yourself from the government you have already failed.
A New York newspaper, The Journal News, has published online the public data, obtained under Freedom of Information requests, of registered gun owners in three counties.
That is very true. Preparing oneself for the possibility of such failure has long been considered prudent, in many circles - such as the ones that wrote the US Constitution, or the ones that took a long hard look at the immediate aftermath of Katrina.if you need a gun to defend yourself from the government you have already failed.

As far as publishing the names and addresses of people on currently disparaged sides of emotional political issues - when that tactic was adopted by abortion rights opponents, it was interpreted as a direct physical threat. Rightly so, IMHO.

Also Uzi, Luger, Beretta...just off the top of my head. (I own a Beretta, that is the concealed carry pistol I mentioned above.) Those are still made in Europe and they are pretty popular pretty much everywhere. Like I said before - no need for red herrings, there is plenty of blame to go around.
Indeed.That is very true. Preparing oneself for the possibility of such failure has long been considered prudent, in many circles - such as the ones that wrote the US Constitution, or the ones that took a long hard look at the immediate aftermath of Katrina.
Yes and so are many others.Indeed.
Mrs Lanza, as a prime example, was very well prepared.
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE. PEOPLE DO.
if you need a gun to defend yourself from the government you have already failed. the best way to defend one's self from an oppressive government is an education and effective use of knowledge to prevent government from being oppressive( of course you and I probably have very different ideas of constitutes oppressive government
Well then the 750 should not be legal, either that or the magazine is built in and has to be loaded to capacity manually from above. A hunter does not need detachable magazines: he's going to have plenty of time between finding one prey and another to load his gun, a psycho killer though can't kill more children during the time he has to load round after round into a fix magazine.
