It easier to shoot more with a SEMI auto!

I like to apply to guns what has been done to cars. Should we drive around in 1930 Fords Model Ts because they where "sufficient"? Technology moves forward. Thats how it is. Of course more people will run from the Cops more in a sports car. They are more efficient. How many people run from the cops in a Ford Pinto? ( Probably none since they all blew up) I apply the same theory to guns. Of course more assaults are going to be done with Semis. Banning them would do nothing as the assualters would just use illegal guns anyhow. I know Im rambling. Im try to finish my thoughts so i can get up and grab another barley pop. Sorry, Ill go now.
