How about this:
1- Not all people can work bolt or pump actions (like some people can't drive a car with a manual transmission).
2- These guns are unfairly profiled as "high-powered", my 30-06 has more power than most of these guns. A buddy has a magnum hunting rifle that has more power than any of these.
3- You can actually buy an old tank, but I believe they disable the guns. Also, an ordinary citizen can not get the munitions needed for the guns.
4- They do make great hunting and self defense weapons for women due to the lower power of the bullets used in most of them.
5- Where does it stop is a good question. If you mean by what is allowed to be owned, full auto firearms are owned by a few people that meet strict government regulations.
Where does it stop for the gun grabbers? It doesn't this is the first step towards banning all semi-automatic firearms, including my dad's, mom's, brother's and my hunting rifles (they are the traditional styled that do not look like military guns) along with my dad's shotgun (again not military styled). After that they go another step, then another, another,... until they have banned all firearms.
You say want to have, that is a little hard to determine. Why do men/women with children want to have a Corvette, Miata, motorcycle when they only have room for 2 people. That is a subjective decision made by people.
