Okay, if you're a professional gun shooter who professionally shoots guns in competition, you can have semi-automatic guns to be better than your competition.
Ok, if someone breaks into my home with AK-47s why should I be limited to weapons that are far less inefficient then what they have? Why should I be at a disadvantage because you don't like the prospect of me being on equal footing with a potential threat? Okay. Allow everyone to buy unregistered AK-47s. Even felons who've committed violent crime. They don't deserve to die, right? Of course not. Give everyone AK-47s. All of them. Actually, what if someone gets a rocket launcher? Give everyone rocket launchers.
I believe sir, you just committed the slippery slope fallacy.
Here is the thing. Criminals intent will do what they can to make their job more effective and profitable. They have not, and will not abide by any gun law on the books. So, why punish people who don't want to cause trouble for the actions of people who don't care anyway?
Ok, I have two firearms my self. Neither of which are semiautomatic. I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 and a Remington 870 Express shotgun in 12 gauge.
Now, I can defend my home with my Mosin Nagant, but due to it's length it is not practical due to it's length of around 48 inches, and could be argued as dangerous due to the power of the cartridge.
Now Ideally, I would be defending my home with my shotgun. I have it loaded up with 00 buck shot, and it is under my bed right now. Now, I have a 28' barrel, which will also make room clearing fairly difficult.
Now if I had a 18' AR-15, I could clear the house quickly, effectively and safely. I have better control over the rifle, and I can use it to fire consecutive shots if I had to.
If someone breaks in to my house with semiautomatic weapons, why should I be on lower ground than they are? Why should I be at a disadvantage? Why should my life be at risk because you simple do not agree with the thought of civilians having semiautomatic rifles? Keep living in your fantasy world, in which everyone is out to get you and you must spend thousands of dollars to ensure that you are safe.
I don't own a gun and I never will. But don't worry, I'll let you know when those bad guys with AK-47s come kicking my door down. I sounds ridiculous even repeating it.
Well, apart from it being hypothetical, in a sense.
I applaud your resolve in living in your sheltered fantasy world. When those men with AK-47s do kick in your door, I would be curious to see how you react. See if your resolve saves you from being tied down, or beaten while the rest of the crew ransacks your home.
We've had way to many close calls here to simply ignore the problem. We've had vehicle break ins, our house was cased, a house a few doors down from us was broken into.
But seriously, enjoy your fantasy world of rainbows and unicorns frolicking in fields of daisies and tulips. It sounds like a grand place.
