Calling someone an idiot would certainly be a fail.

You are right @Tahr calling someone an idiot isn't the way to go but I do agree with what has been mostly said so far regarding semi-auto ownership. And @MassiveAttack made some good points.

Regardless of action-type it won't matter what becomes outlawed first, the rest will follow. There is nothing wrong whatsoever with semi's when used responsibly by law abiding FAL holders. The problem is how such firearms, MSSA style to be specific is getting in the hands of criminals.

Banning them would do nothing. In fact if you look at Aussie, crime would no doubt increase. We need to all stick together on this and voice our opinions on public forums as you put it @Tahr with reasonableness, objectiveness, and calmness We all as firearm owners & enthusiasts deserve (once permitted of course) to own A,B,C and E category firearms as much as we please. I for one take huge pride in my heirloom NZ Service Rifle collection and being that my family fought in past conflicts and wars I want to carry that history.

My 2c anyway. And please don't name call, it's not necessary.
