    Perhaps you mean semi-automatic guns? Automatic guns are exceedingly rare, very expensive and effectively never used in any type of gun violence short of war. If you do mean semi-automatic, with no qualifiers, you are now banning many guns that most ban advocates promise they aren’t coming for, “grandpa’s hunting rifle”.

      Yeah i meant semi automatic. No one needs to be able to kill as many times as they can pull a trigger. If you miss your first shot when hunting youre probly not gonna get any better shots.

      Confiscation isnt feasible, it would have to just be a ban on future sales and resales. So grandpa keeps his rifle
