FACT(According to the NRA! hahaha): Kerry co-sponsors a bill that would ban all semi-automatic shotguns and detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles, a gigantic step toward bringing Australian-style gun control to the U.S. [my emphasis]

I heard a hilarious radio commerical the other day. It said "JOHN KERRY WANTS TO TAKE YOUR SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AWAY!" going on to say, "LOOK AT CANADA, AUSTRAILIA, GREAT BRITIAN".

OH MY GOD!!! KERRY WANTS TO TAKE OUR DEADLY FIREARMS AWAY! LOOK OUT FOR THE COMMUNISTS!

I think we have a problem here. Those other countries don't have semi-automatic weapons? Well, they do, but you need a permit. Are all republicans afraid of the boogey man? The imminent threat? The unknown? I think that someone is afraid that when they can't have their M-16s and AK47s, that they are going to be defensless during the impending revolution. I don't want my paranoid neighbors to keep weapons designed to fight crime in their houses. What does semi-automatic weapons have to do with hunting?

Nothing.
