(Yes, I saw your sarc tag)

A few years ago, I was discussing the "gun issue" with a lib brother in law. He asked why would anyone need a "semi-auto".
I smiled and asked, "and just what do you think a 'semi-auto' is?"

To his credit, here was his reply:
[slight pause] Well, I guess I don't know that.

I then explained what that meant, what he probably thought it meant (select fire full auto), and that nearly every hunting rifle available was a "semi-auto". I also asked him to consider both the accuracy and the veracity of his information source, and whether they might be INTENTIONALLY deceiving people to further an agenda.
