A Semiautomatic rifle would be arguable more effective than just about anything in a home defense situation.
It's not about power, it's about effectiveness. If I can effectively eliminate a threat with a less 'powerful' firearm, then I will.
A Pistol is only marginally effective. A shotgun is marginally more effective. A rifle, in my eyes, is more effective than my shotgun in my home due to narrow hallways. OK, so a semi-auto rifle is your choice. Now what do you do when someone who breaks into your house has one as well?
You didn't answer the question, so I'm asking it again.

What? Seriously, What?
I expect an answer to the above question.
To the rest of your statement, you are the typical gun fearing liberal (yes, liberal, because that is the only term that fittingly describes you so inb4hurrdurridealogybashing); that exaggerates situations to make yourself appear correct when, in reality, you aren't actually proving any point whatsoever. Nobody is saying we want heavy weapons. We just don't want what we currently have taken away.I've been led to believe by the people in this very thread that criminals obtain weapons illegally. Are you telling me that's not true?
And what part of that means not buying them? People, criminals, all over the US sell arms illegally. Implying other criminals steal every single weapon they use is pure ignorance. It shows that you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
