text: Thank you. A voice of reason, compared to the many commenters on this service who are so enamored of the ability to kill their fellow man that they resist even the most minimal steps to reduce access to guns. If there were no semi-automatic weapons except in the hands of police and military, there would be no guns to steal for killers to get.
  
  Yes! I am an anti-gun nut. and proud of it. A former hunter who gave up my weapons rather than be at risk for spreading them to criminals. A person who sees no need for a private citizen to own a semi-automatic or automatic weapon; a person who respects the rights of hunters to take animals for food,without having to cut out the mass of lead that fills the carcass after an AR-15. AK-47, or the like has cut it into hamburger.
