Can't semiautomatics be modified to fire more rapidly? I assume that the people in this latest attack and the attack in Aurora and the Connecticut school shooting knew a little more than the average person yet they all used these "assault" weapons. Wouldn't it have been easier and cheaper and MORE efficient (according to that fellow) to just carry 2 or 3 pistols rather than those bulky and hard to hide assault weapons? For some reason the Supreme Court doesn't seem to think much of these assault weapons either. They've REFUSED to hear arguments against local laws BANNING them. I'm with the Supreme Court on that. I have a little 38 Smith and Wesson in the drawer next to my bed. It's at least 40 years old and it only holds 6 bullets that I have to load individually but I think it's enough to feel rather secure in my home. I wouldn't deny ANYBODY the RIGHT to own that same gun in their home for security.
