Should Semi-Auto Rifles Be Banned?

The debate over gun control has once again sparked in America.

The question usually was "Why does anyone need a semi-automatic rifle like the AR-15 ? You can't use them for hunting"

The answer to that used to be "No you can't use them for hunting, BUT...."

NOW THAT HAS CHANGED...(SEE STATEMENT FROM NRA BELOW)

The National Rifle Association, which supported the legislation, said that 48 states already allow hunting with semi-automatic weapons – Pennsylvania and Delaware being the only exceptions. Most states surrounding Pennsylvania do permit hunting with semi-automatic rifles, but some place significant restrictions on their use.

Progressive politicians -- mainly Democrats -- and many members of the media are calling for greater restrictions on Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

Some have even called for a ban on semi-automatic firearms like the popular AR-15 rifle.

However, many conservatives argue that law-abiding gun owners should not have their Second Amendment rights limited because of the actions of criminals.
