The first step in meaningful debate is honesty.
Reagan saying a machine gun isn't good for home defense has zero to do with your argument. Infact it weakens your argument by showing leftist lies (ignorance?)
There have been exactly ZERO mass shooting (since prohibition, there were several then...) with machine guns.
The left's claims the semi auto weapons are full auto military weapons is both completely false and completely detrimental to their "cause."
If you say outta one side of your mouth that you only want to ban military machine guns (which make up less than 1% of guns on the market, cost 20,000 dollars and require a 6 month FBI tax stamp/ backround check) and then claim semi auto's (which make up about 70% of firearms on the market) are "machine guns," you're not only being incredibly dishonest, but also reinforcing the right wing claim that "they're never stop banning guns til they've banned them all."
