You asked some good questions.

I believe that anti-gunners aka liberals do want our guns outlawed and confiscated, eventually. In their view, an armed society is dangerous. They see gun owners as vigilanties.

Not all semiautos are big and scary... That was essentially the basis of the Brady Act, that these firearms are big, scary and hold many rounds in which someone can "spray" bullets at crowds of people. Liberals also coined the phrase "assault weapon".

"I see no problems with semi-automatic weapons or a big old pump action shot guns, bows and arrows, hand guns and so on, but does not having what is called an assault weapon a real big deal?"

This question shows that you do not know what makes an "assault weapon"...MOST semiautos = assault weapon....25 "junk gun" = assault weapon...ANYTHING with the capacity to hold more than X amount of rounds (from .22 rifles on up) = assault weapon..Most pistols = assault weapon...Doesn't leave us much, does it?

It is not just about banning certain guns, it is the eventual goal that the citizenry will be disarmed aka DEFENSELESS, if anti-gunners have their way.

The second ammendant is a RIGHT not a privilege.

i hope this information helps you. God Bless.

I certainly don't think semi-automatic weapons should be classified as Assault Weapons.
My mentality would define an Assault Weapon as something used by soldiers that is fully automatic.
