the word was only used in reference to what a NY guy I think posted to me saying that in their bill they were trying to get rid of ALL semi autoloaders including shotguns like Rem 11-87 or what have you.....I was just using the term "regular" as a generic term for most firearms like trap or skeet shotguns, semi auto rifles like REm 760 or 740 cant remember which is pump or auto etc. So it was just a quick post in reference to that as opposed to what we generally call assault like AK47, M1A, M14 etc. I've shot them all....well not an AK, and I know you are being specific like pistol grips on shotguns, Mossberg 500 has them etc....I realize that, I wasn't getting into extreme specifics, just quickly pointing out that their bill was even more extreme than ours was.......I don't believe any firearms should be banned myself well except for full auto's which you may not agree with, but I may give them that.....also, I think some of the cheap ass mini handguns and "so called Saturday Night specials" are somewhat circumspect but not because of 2nd amendment policy but on safety policy.......hope that clears it up a little.....didn't have time with this guy to pontificate on all the specifics and variables like magazine capacity etc.

It clears it up a lot. Your stand is perfectly consistent with the stand of most anti-gunners; that the government is justified in banning some arms if they can make the claim that they are too dangerous. That is exactly the reasoning that Feinstein has used to cause me to remove five of my non-"regular" rifles from Kalifornia. You and Feinstein only differ on which arms should be banned.

If you really think that full-auto makes a firearm too dangerous, then you probably won't want to own one and you are willing to confiscate them from your neighbors.

If you really think that some inexpensive handguns are too poorly made, then you probably won't want to own one and you are willing to confiscate them from your neighbors.
