Semi-automatics are NOT military weapons. Stupid liberals can't seem to differentiate between a semi and and automatic. The latter has been banned in the civilian market in this country since 1934.

Libs know. Propagandists such as helmke use this misinformation to further their goal of banning all guns. Advocacy groups such as this openly admit that they want and intend to do to the US what was done to the UK.

No they haven't been banned, you can buy them if you pay $200.00 for a tax stamp, and fill out all the required government paperwork.

Semi-automatics are NOT military weapons. Garand, SVT-40, SKS, were not military weapons?

Of course they were/are. But military weapons are just what, according to the Supreme Court (US. vs. Miller) says the keeping and bearing of which is especially protected by the second amendment. That is pretty much the thrust of the founders' intent, that the citizenry be as well armed as the standing Army, but with much larger numbers.

Actually, full-auto has been banned since 1986 (with preexisting models grandfathered, and transfer permitted only though a rigorous process.)
