I'm curious what do you buy guns for that a semi auto is a requirement?

Citizen arms are not about hunting or target shooting,
they are for self defense, or more practically, deterrence.
Just like a fire extinguisher or first aid training,
I hope we never need to use them.

Good Luck, YMMV.

And just what does that have to do with anything (the need for semiauto).
Speed limit in Alberta is at most 110km/h. It's been proven that the higher the speed the more chance of death in an accident...so do you feel that we should ban all cars capable of a higher speed?
If I want to buy (and have the money) a Ferrari so what is it to you?

It's nothing to me aside from idle curiosity. I'm not attacking you or your rights to anything.

Your argument is tough to follow but your passion is there lol

It's not a requirement, why should it be? It is a want and still none of your business. You do understand the operation of a semi auto I presume, I had a similar discussion with a similar doofus at work who was convinced a semi shot like a machine-gun.

Not a requirement, but my autoloading shotgun is much softer shooting when I am goose hunting.

Lol it was just a question and yes I understand it quite well. I own 2 of them. No idea how many I've handled over the years.

A semi auto is a matter of preference. A firearm that cycles for you is a convenience. One that I enjoy. Not the greatest question not something to get upset about....

It's a statement that's part of a conversation. I was genuinely cuious what he was using his semis for if not hunting. He responded with not my business which is a fair answer.

Is it the fact I laughed or the fact I asked that bothers you?

I'm not antigun. Quite the opposite. Hunted most of my life. I own 11 guns 2 of which are semi auto.

You may not be "anti gun" but you seem to enjoy rocking the boat. Semis also play a big part in the guys that shoot 3 gun.

Wonder how many 10/22s are in Canada..

I don't know about rocking the boat but I do enjoy a good conversation. I honestly think there's way more important things in life than gun control. I think it's ridiculous. The only guns you control are the guns in the hands of people like me.

Newview01 · #**376** 02-02-2016, 05:12 PM

This news is ridiculous. There are so many things to touch on here.

1. Why is the national police force making laws? This is what dictatorial third world countries do.
2. Why add to the current gun laws when the criminals already don't care about what is already in the books?
3. It is simply not easy to change any semi-auto sold in Canada to full auto. While it may be possible, it requires parts, machinery, and skills that can be utilized to make a gun from scratch - already illegal. In addition it is already illegal to make a firearm full auto.
4. Anyone who has fired fully automatic firearms knows that they are not as deadly because they are not controllable. Unless you are putting as many rounds down range as a Navy SEAL, in which case, you will likely be a Navy SEAL because it is unaffordable for the 99%.

There is likely more that can be added, but I think the facts are clear.

if this proposal is passed, then we will have gun laws which are much more intrusive and incriminating than France. that's right...France. the cheese eating, wine sipping population actually allow their law abiding citizens to have much more freedom than we will have if the measures are enacted.

Yes, and no. Weapon classification is smoother, but getting your licence is much harder than it is in Canada. Hence a very few handgun owners, but a huge number of hunting rifles, as you are allowed to buy a rifle ONLY IF you pass your hunting licence. BTW, hunting regulations are really, really tough and strictly enforced.

this is the problem with antis. its the train of thought. why does anything have to be a requirement.? why not just own the guns you want to own?. what has WHY got to do with it. I don't demand to know why my neighbors chose the car they drive.

beyond irritating.

See above. This is the problem with knee-jerks and the feeling is mutual

Scruffie · #**382** 02-03-2016, 08:39 AM

Anyone that even needs to question why a person would want or need to own a semi-auto rifle, should not even be posting (trolling) in this thread.

Why not? Seems a very pertinent question to the thread to me.... or are you for censorship and control?

Why not, because we should not have to justify why we want or need a certain type of firearm. People don't have to justify why they need to smoke, and smoking kills more Canadians each year than firearms do. People don't need to justify why they need to drink alcohol, and alcohol is responsible for the deaths of more Canadians every year than firearms are.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you know the definition of pertinent.

If you take the time to read back a bit. You'll see I genuinely curious about a response I got. I also got some well thought out responses I didn't think about.
This is an open discussion guys. If you can't talk about this rationally here we have no hope of changing anybodys mind who wants to take away your guns.

BushNinja · #**388** 02-03-2016, 11:30 AM

This ain't 'merica boys! Keep calm it was just a question. People seem to get their panties in a knot over nothing. He just wants to know what you'd use a semi auto for.
BACK to the subject at hand - has anyone heard anything new? I've been off the radio stream for a bit.

No problems will be solved by taking our semi autos away

Exactly. Back in he beginnin posts- those that wish to commit the crime are going to gain access to the firearms they need. It's not going to be the law abiding citizen that wishes to own a firearm for hunting or other sport. Whether semi-auto or not. IF they do then us hunters will have to brush up on or cycling speed!
