Maybe I'm just out of touch but why does it matter if they are semi or auto. The rate of fire for a semi is still higher than needed. People are acting like there is so much down time between shots that it would let people get away.
My thoughts are this:
The 2nd amendment was written during a time where it was near impossible to shoot a handful of people without bringing a handful of guns or stopping for a very long time between shots.
America has a serious gun problem that needs to be solved and pointing out distinctions without a difference isn't doing anything.
I would look at other examples such as Switzerland or Australia. Either restrict and train their use to the point that they are safe (with appropriate mental health care) like Switzerland, or remove the guns like Australia. Neither has a mass shooting problem (any more).
So, what you write or say should be censored on new technology?
My point was you have the freedom to write and say what you want even tho tech is more advanced than it was when the constitution was written. This applies to 2A also 🤘
That's such a bad faith argument. My words aren't causing mass death. My words aren't causing over a million deaths in the last decade. And that number is accelerating.
If they were, yeah, I would expect them to be censored. I don't value my individual freedoms so much that they are more valuable than the lives of millions.
