Why should civilians be able to posess semi-automatic firearms.
Some possible answers:

Since there are so many rapes in this country and half the people in the world seem to function entirely well without penii why should he be allowed to possess a penis? He needs to study this in context of the concept of prior restraint.

If semiautomatic guns are outlawed and all the decent folks turn theirs in just like happened in Australia...who will be left with semiautos? Does he think all the drug dealers and gang bangers will turn theirs in?

If semiautos are banned then what will stop criminals from just building their own like they do in England? Does he really want to fund the underworld with such an easily produced black market contraband?

Perhaps it might be better to turn the question around? What positive thing could be accomplished by banning them? Other than making the gun runners rich of course.
