Yeah, I was being sarcastic, since just about every anti who is sane enough to keep from screaming idiot things like "death sentences for gun owners" has a tendency to qualify their 'ideas' about citizens rights by only focusing on one scary sounding thing at a time. Like when people are against "semiautomatic-assault-weapons-with-high-capacity-magazines", yet don't understand that there is no such thing as a "semiautomatic assault weapon", in fact there is no such thing as an assault weapon period! It is a contrived term to make uninformed people believe that they are the same thing as full automatic true "assault rifles", which is NOT a contrived term for a political agenda but a real technical term.

Then there are the people against ALL semiauto firearms, again usually not having a clue about what semiautomatic means, and the people against all handguns. Those people always qualify their "arguments" by claiming that 'nobody NEEDS those weapons' or 'what does anyone NEED that for?"

And they always try to brig it right back round to hunting, because that is seen as a safe way to not totally alienate themselves. Well my bet is that if they ever have their way and get all semiauto firearms banned and confiscated, their next step will be "high-powered-bolt-action-sniper-rifles-capable-of-killing-babies-and-children-from-a-thousand-yards!"

That is the tactic. Just like trying to ban "explosive-armor-piercing-hollow-point-teflon-coated-expanding-cruelty-to-animals-only-exists-to-murder-people-super-lethal-handgun-bullets", the next thing would be to go after "high-velocity-pointy-tipped-boat-tail-high-ballistic-coefficient-sniper-rifle-bullets".
