I have searched and searched but find no mention of semi-automatics in the Second Amendment....

What am I missing?

The guys who wrote the Second Amendment went to great pains to make it short, concise and perfectly clear.

What don't they understand?

I only own a BB gun, but this issue REALLY boils my blood about the Libs and the joke we have for a "Supreme Court"

You missed the " shall not be infringed " part ! I'm sure that the British Army would have liked for the colonists to have possessed inferior quality arms ; a view apparently not far removed from yours.

It seems the fed courts are determined to wield powers it does not constitutionally possess. The fed courts use the "commerce clause" argument out of the same whole cloth as the "establishment clause"; one to incrementally whittle the Second, the other to purge religion from the public square.The centralization of power is almost complete.
